Consumer Advisory: Is it an e-bike—or something else?
Heads-up to Californians who are shopping for a legitimate e-bike. Be careful not to be misled by a seller who may be falsely advertising or promoting other products, e.g., electric motorcycles, as e-bikes.

i saw that crimethinc's demonstrator's guides were gaining traction (again) on here, so i decided to format them into one collection and printed off 30 of them to share.
i'm an amateur, so these are not publishing house quality -- but hey, they work fine, and the info and pictures are all there.
includes very detailed info on:
helmets, goggles, masks, armor, various police tactics and tools, blockades, lockdowns, and banners.
if you would like one, send me a direct message or email with a mailing address and i'll send one -- it's only ~$4 to ship, so i'm willing to cover the cost myself. if you're in the portland, oregon area, please arrange for a drop off or pick up.

Rental vacation house.
Spouse needed power outlet for laptop.
Found this delightful object plugged into the outlet, prongles poking out, waiting to electrocute someone.
