A strong hunch

What's this about?
- cop got on the news and used a bike lock chain that was used to barricade the building as "proof" that the protestors were infiltrated by professional agitators, because it was an "industrial chain" or something like that. its the bike lock that Columbia University itself recommends to students.
  
  The entire conservative, pro cop playbook is "say silly things, pretend you don't know they're silly".
  And if anyone calls you out, act offended. Everyone knows if you are offended you are right. Growing up in a religious household it's incredible how many times I saw someone use, "You're rude therefore you are wrong" as a core tenant of "debate".
  The 'victim card' is the conservative 'race card'.
  
  Versus some of that old fashioned homemade chain. HOW ARE THESE PROFESSIONAL PROTESTORS GETTING THEIR HANDS ON COMMERCIAL-GRADE METALS???
  
  Of course they do know there are professional agitators at the protests, they're them.
  
  Let me guess, hardened steel? Because that's how you keep your bike from getting stolen in New York. Kryptonite calls it the "fahgettaboudit" lock for a reason.
- The governor of NY, and former cop, justified the police response to the anti-genocide protests at Columbia with a statement about "outside agitators". When pressed on that, the governor essentially said it was a gut feeling.
  
  It was the mayor not the governor
- Probably the Columbia University protests. I expect this means someone was arrested for having a bike lock (which can be used as a bludgeon).
  
  They were using the bike locks to claim that the protesters had ties to terrorist organizations, because "it's not the kind of thing a normal student has."
  Despite the fact that the exact model of bike lock was part of a deal on bike locks advertised by the CU campus security on Facebook not 6 weeks ago.
  
  I think the students had chained the doors with bike locks, and the police are trying to claim the chains constitute professional involvement.
  
  It was used to close one of the doors of the building they occupied

If you consistently have a strong hunch it's probably time to see a doctor.
- If hunches last longer then four hours

Who has a bike lock in NYC? famously you can trust to find your bike where you left it in NYC.
- This a joke? NYC is crime rampant
  
  Whoosh

We are very close to seeing a lot more than bike locks.
After what I saw at UCLA I am afraid it is only a matter of time before some pro-zionist fuck brings a gun.

Plot twist, Rafael is a cop.
- Nah, Leonardo is, he's got blue lines all over him

Bake 'em away, toys!
