Not SFGate using the wrong photos of CAHSR to fearmonger and signal boost NIMBYs who are against CAHSR...
FYI, the photos in this article purported to be of a Central Ave overpass in Shafter are ACTUALLY a Central Ave overpass in Fresno.

What we just saw: state police not only assisting federal agents with crowd control out here, but also protester arrests.
All morning, this has been a nonviolent demonstration. Have not seen a single crime from this crowd (not that that would excuse the brutality).

Considering that vomit can easily contain pathogens which could seriously injure someone, yes, I consider intentionally vomiting to not be a "non-violent" protest.
Holy shit Bethany. Imagine being PROUD of intentionally vomiting on someone's front door and calling it protest.

Laura Loomer, Trumps alleged mistress, a MAGA & pro-israel influencer, targeted Charlie Kirk weeks before his assassination.
Loomer painted Kirk as a traitor and placed a target on his back after he called for the release of the Epstein files and opposed a war with Iran.
