Not sure I've seen this posted, but hot damn are a lot of eyes on open carry antifash now. Effective example of community defense? The protestors' attention was held entirely by the security team, and violence was kept minimal. So far, it seems a lot better for activists to show up and deny entry to fascists, rather than letting PBs and associated acts enter buildings and terrorize participants.

Also, we've seen non-lethal defence send the cowards flying, all you need is some comrades and some coordination, and you too can protect your local queer community https://nitter.net/LukeCleary/status/1542713196636540932?t=bJqqpd39WSz-df8u--_4vQ&s=19

This Sunday CA fash of varying stripes are targeting an all ages pride festival in Riverside. Make no mistake comrades, no part of this country is safe, they're getting louder with the queer and transphobia and we have to make sure they aren't successful https://nitter.net/VPS_Reports/status/1564698604626817024?t=wi8QhrEqZzh4EuBqUs1M-A&s=19

    The worst they did was a headbutt. Mostly just frothed in front of cameras, and called a gun an AR-47. This is 100% because they felt unsafe escalating any further due to disciplined anti-fascists they even organized escorts for those attending the brunch to ensure nobody was caught unawares. You don't start assaulting the people open carrying or those they're protecting

      Normally I'd be worried about these kind of things because I would be certain that CHUDs would take this step-up in defense as a challenge. Glad to see that I was proven wrong this time.
