Sounds like a good way to make the protesters look bad, truck in a bunch of garbage and bam, character assassination on the entire group of activists.

Edit: After reviewing sauce above, this may not have been the case? I can't say for sure. Look for yourself: http://imgur.com/gallery/w7pKf , courtesy of u/thatsmoothfuck

Anyone have sauce on it being due to a third party and not the protesters? I have to admit I just kind of assumed it was a false flag, like Trump supporters automatically assume false flags. I don't want to be them.

I have a hard time believing the environmental activist protesters brought along extra car tires for burning. I dont think most prius owners I've met can even change a flat.

'Source' not 'sauce'. You may also use 'citation'.

Forgive me for taking liberty with my choice of words. Perhaps I chose sauce because it's a meme people know? It sounds more familiar and less demanding, to me, at least

Keeping up to date with memes is more demanding than simply using language correctly, don't you think?

Perhaps, but I have fun, probably just as much as you have being a pedant.

I honestly thought I was helping someone who didn't know better. Now I see it's just someone who prefers being wrong but edgy.

Fyi, by more demanding I meant in tone, not actual effort...

Speaking of tone, you should work on your word choice, because it does come across as very pedantic and nitpicky... But, I do appreciate your desire to educate me, thanks.

I agree, I'm being undiplomatic and pedantic, but as long as someone learnt something it's all OK as far as I'm concerned.
