    I need more details. Was he posed that his truck broke down? Was it the voting? Was the paraphernalia supposed to be incriminating for the voters or was it just that he got so mad he smashed his pipe or whatever?

      As luck would have it, I work in one of the buildings pictured. The driver is a local nuisance. He was attempting to draw attention to a conservative candidate in an election to be held the next day. This was weeks ago now. The truck was towed because you can’t park on a pedestrian mall like that. It was report he was yelling stuff about “big hairy balls” but it was after work hours so I don’t have the information first hand.

        I know that fountain well! Right next to the Union.

        Yeah, I heard it was basically a distraction. He parked intentionally, threw out a bunch of pot/paraphernelia, got arrested, and then the Cybertruck was towed because you really can’t park on the pedestrian mall like that.

      I think he was trying to lure the lib voters away to try and help the muskrat buy another election

      I would assume the swastikar broke down, he had drug stuff in it, he threw it out because he knew he was going to get towed and needed deniable plausibility…but I’m just making assumptions
