There are many ways to catch a bad guy, and this time a product review was the undoing of a Portland antifa rioter caught on video throwing a larger-than-usual bomb at the federal courthouse.

A black motorist is going viral after erupting on Black Lives Matter protesters for blocking a highway in Austin, Texas.

Outside of cities in war zones like Baghdad and Mogadishu, I doubt whether any supposedly civilized city has ever experienced anything like this.
