Go ahead and read that headline again, slowly.

Not the Bee was born for such a time as this.

That upstanding citizen in the picture above is named Matthew Banta. He got caught in Green Bay on his way to a pEaCeFuL pRoTeSt carrying smoke grenades, fireworks, and a stinking FLAMETHROWER.

Banta is "known to be a violent Antifa member," police said, adding that he goes by the name "Commander Red."

Commander Red. 😂

Police also said ... ready? ... that when they caught the great and powerful Commander Red he "dropped into the fetal position and began crying." 😂🤣😭

That's an exact quote from the Green Bay Police.

A responding officer says he saw four individuals walking towards a protest with baseball bats. One man was wearing a metal helmet with goggles and military-style gear with multiple pouches, and was carrying an Antifa flag. When the officer pulled his squad car in front of the group, they ran away. The officer caught Banta, who was carrying the flag, and says Banta "dropped into the fetal position and began crying." He accused the officer of lying on him; the officer replied nobody was on him.

Just picture COMMANDER RED wearing his "metal helmet with goggles and military-style gear with multiple pouches and carrying an Antifa flag" balled up on the ground sobbing because he got busted.

What a time to be alive 😆
