Awesome! Wait, what?
Excuse me, what kind of plywood? https://t.co/kupL4EWFbc

Protester plywood, of course!
"Protestor Plywood" That's a new one.

"Protester plywood"
Sounds like a Home Depot marketing opportunity. https://t.co/CPfnyhfi7K

Does Home Depot designate which plywood is "protestor plywood"?
— Nicholas Pearce (@WarDamnGunners) August 31, 2020
“Mostly peaceful” plywood can be found on isle 8 at Home Depot’s nationwide.

Good to know.
Why did they have plywood up? https://t.co/51WdiEVPOp

"Protester plywood?" More like riot protection.
— Jacob Airey (@realJacobAirey) August 31, 2020
Exactly. Why would they need to put up plywood for protestors?

“Protester plywood” stops Good Samaritans from peacefully smashing your windows and looting your business in an orderly fashion, calmly destroying your livelihood https://t.co/HNdHDdpzw5

I’m no expert, but that looks like Looting Lumber to me…
— Jen S (@msgreenjeans) August 31, 2020
Important to make that distinction.
This is a harmful smear of actual protesters who have a constitutional right to make their voices heard.
Nobody is against that.
We are against the violence and destruction from BLM/Antifa rioters and their brutal tactics.
Let’s call this Leftwing Violence Plywood. https://t.co/lUPEnuAQqU
