It’s out of control and the majority of the Democrat Leadership appears to be doing absolutely nothing! Why are they not going to Minneapolis and standing beside the mayor and the governor? Why are they not screaming in front of the Capital steps? Where are all the famous celebrity donors?
The perfect example of what Jack is talking about is Martin Luther King. Non-violent, sane protestors. His marches were symbolic;ic in that they were non-violent and the press didn't cover them unless the racist elements tried to arrest them or stop their protests by force. It's why we have an MLK holiday and not a George Wallace holiday.
A dark horse movement to protect the populace? I don't think so! Small unit militant tactics are no match for strategy. A single act of violence at this point in time is to give Cheetolini and the NAZI stephen miller exactly the opportunity they are looking for to impose the Insurrection Act. This amounts to an open invitation for ICE to engage in more violence. This is exactly what we don't need at this time; the Federal Court just ordered ICE to stand down their aggressive and unconstitutional practices.
Damn! I feel like I really screwed up. I was so wrong and if I’d thought about it more, I would’ve realized that. I’m just so tired of watching innocent people hurt, terrorized, detained or killed that I didn’t take the time to think it through. Instead I reacted emotionally. Thanks for setting me straight. I just wish it had happened sooner. So much damage done already.
What can I do to mitigate the damage or is there anything that will? I posted your article on Threads but I doubt it’ll get the nearly 24k likes and 2k rethreads that my post regarding the Black Panthers did.. okay, I KNOW it won’t even with the comment I made.
A well-intentioned and catastrophically dangerous move because:
“Armed ‘Protection’ Helps the government Shift Blame. . . The real issue right now is state power.
When civilians visibly arm themselves, the spotlight shifts . . .”
and here comes the insurrection act which those paying attention over the past year have known is a goal ultimately leading to cancelled elections and consolidation of authoritarianism.

You make an excellent point.

Terrific advice Jack. Calm. Measured. Willful. Together in peace. ☮️
