Throw a brick throw a brick throw a brick throw a brick throw a brick throw a brick!

Metaphorically, of course.

Imagine someone tweeted the same thing repeatedly / compulsively with Black Lives Matter substituted for transphobia. What would we think?

Talking about throwing a brick at it is just a metaphor. And that rally in Charlottesville was just a Saturday picnic for likeminded friends.
