If they're wearing a Casio F91W, then they're a terrorist AND a drug dealer!

There's an opinion that it's part of coordinated campaign, not just slow news day.

The police in Spain can thank there lucky stars that they are not dealing with the drug gangs in Mexico and South America, where they are flying militerised drones, and are trying to build narco drone subs with starlink

Yeah they are. Their official name is literally "Policia de la Generalitat de Catalunya".

It at the very least means people with Pixels or GrapheneOS are treated unfairly by law enforcement. It's unfair because owning either of those is in no way indicative of a crime. You can't possibly IANAL your way out of this fact.

It's rich to accuse others of "baiting" while engaging in sealioning. I'm not the one trying to strip all meaning from words.
