    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.

      CIVIL disobedience. You can’t give them an excuse to escalate. They do dumb shit, they look terrible on t.v., but the moment a protestor crosses that line, it’ll be plastered everywhere and used as an excuse for escalation.

      Fuck ICE.

      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.
