How many times have their ideas about the "necessity of protocol" and "not giving the right an excuse to escalate" been disproven by the right constantly escalating no matter how good the liberals behave? And yet every time they fall back to the same idiotic dogma about not escalating because "oh no what will the right wingers do???". Pathetic
this rhetoric is the biggest bullshit because it allows the fascist pigs to corral you into a place where they can do unspeakable violence on you even if you don't resist. like, what? And then afterwards they'll just say that you "refused to move" from the designated zone. So they still get to dictate the terms of when your protest starts and ends.
Cops on one side telling you to go north, Cops on the other side telling you to go south, and cops to the east waiting to gas everyone with chemical weapons, arrest them, and turn them over to the prosecutors who will argue for 20 year sentences because an alleged mailbox allegedly caught fire somewhere in the vicinity.
i'll never forget that footage of people being chased around an entire block by a riot pig in 2020. No matter which way they went he was following them, yelling at them to leave, actively hindering their retreat with violence
Minneapolis, where lib protest leaders herded six hundred people on to the highway then let police surround them, keep them kettled for hours, and then arrest all of them. Elderly people, infirm people, disabled people, little kids. It was fucking shameful and I think people are either still facing charges or the charges have just begun to be dropped two years later.
that was 11 years ago? fuck
Bit idea: naming your two firearms Shame and On You.
