What evidence is there that it's a rando with a laser pointer? (I will concede that there's not a lot of evidence it's a sniper either.) If it is found to be propoganda, we should all be fucking pissed that the right wants us to believe that the military is ready to snipe protestors. Why the fuck are you being a jerk?

Because there's no reason a sniper would need or want to use a visible laser to aim. That's TV/movie shit.

Why

...

Are you legitimately asking why an American in 2025 would be upset with people spreading pro-fascist propaganda?

In a community called "progressive politics"?

Are you also shocked your fried chicken recipe went over poorly in /vegan?
