    Wow, I don’t know why they keep saying “we’re unarmed”… people start open carrying at these protests. You want them to back off and leave? You want to not get shot with rubber bullets? These SS members are doing that shit because they know there won’t be any force returned to them. If this crowd showed up armed, they would have left a long time ago.

      No. I keep hearing this line of rhetoric and it’s stupid.

      It’s what Magats want.

      The national guardsmen? Military in general? Yeah they’re some fucked up folk in there who get off on killing. But the majority just want to do whatever the fuck they’ve been trained to do, and shooting unarmed Americans isn’t that.

      Kent State was a long ass time ago, and nowadays one round from a protestor would create a massacre.

        You do know why firearm protests were peaceful right? There were 20k+ people armed in Virginia. The police got the fuck way back, and did not escalate force. The boots think they’re hot shit until the other side can sling hot shit towards them.

      Yeah, you can bring a gun and they can bring rifles, armored transporters, dogs, gas and grenades. You think they will run away because someone has a gun?

        No they’ll run away because many people do.

        Fascists are fucking cowards.

        They only show their true intent when they think they hold all the cards. Everything else is just snake oil sold to help them slither their way into power.
