Armed protests are peaceful protests.

I can't laugh because Uvalde still makes me choke up.

No doubt. What happened at Robb Elementary (and too many others) is the furthest thing from a joke but it does underscore the core issue(s).

Would you say "I can't breathe"?

The protesters are too extreme. This is just what Trump wants. By provoking a police response, they are going to hurt their entire project.

They should behave more like... checks notes school shooters?

I also thought they were both paid protestors and also antifa extremists?

School shootings aren't real, they're just made up by the woke liberal media to push the gay agenda and make kids shit in litter boxes.

(/s, just in case...)

They are simultaneously not real and done by leftists.

Maybe protesters should start bringing rifles

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

Always, all the time. Open carry rifles and sidearms. Always

[–] abdominable@lemm.ee 30 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Only conservative protesters can do that, they'll shoot anyone else.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

They're fucking cowards, they won't shoot if they'll be shot back at.

But you can't just go protest with a rifle on your own; protesting armed needs to be well coordinated.

Something some well regulated militia something something

It's simple: always open carry. "Protestors" who refuse to do so will always undermine you.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago

Or protest in schools

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 12 points 21 hours ago

correct, cops are there to protect capital
