    I was summarily downvoted for it before but I'll keep saying it because I know I'm right: instead of protesting, wouldn't it make infinitely more sense to dox, disguise, and delete?

    Or to at the very least have dedicated days where secretly planned groups destroy property or disrupt traffic or w/e?

    It just that it's the absolute worst possible idea, with the lowest possible ROI, to go to a protest immediately after a high profile case ruling, when the town's been fortified and they're all waiting for you there. I mean it's obviously better than nothing but there are so many more smarter and more efficient things that can be done.

    All the "undesirable" individuals all packed in one place at one time for their convenience is exactly what they want

        But it's just basic stuff. Should I riot and possibly get shot in the city, where all the poor black people live? Or should I riot and possibly get shot in the suburbs?

        Definitely do a number on the precinct, and maybe the ((((((((upscale)))))))) parts of the city, but in general people should be moving around before they do the damage. Uncritical support for sistah soulja

      I’ve never been a big protesting person myself. I’ve gone to a few, but we’re either fucking some shit up or we’re not. Just being in this streets allows for one thing. Them to harm you. Even blocking traffic. You know how many hours people spend in traffic every day? We’re immune to traffic at this point. Summer Taylor died. Did that move the needle in the smallest bit?

        This is exactly my point. If just one 2nd amendment guy decides to harvest bacon he'll be doing infinitely more than almost every protestor out tonight. And if he wears his halloween costume well enough and doesn't bring his verizon buddy with him he'll probably even be in less danger too

        And the best time for a wolf to steal some pigs is when the farmer isn't looking. Not when the farmer has called in the national guard.

          I totally agree with you. And I believe this not because I don’t stand in solidarity with protesters and appreciate any and all effort they give to the movement. It’s because I do care about them. And just letting yourself become target practice helps no one. If you’re going out there to revolt and have some protection because you’re angry go ahead. This is not the time for sign holding and chants. Especially after I read they’re increasing the snatchings. We cannot just allow ourselves to get snatched. Fuck that.
