    In France, when they piss of the farmers, they protest by bringing the farm equipment to them. Some are loaded with poop.

      My french friend told me that the dairy farmers once protested by dumping a massive amount of milk on the streets of Paris one time. Apparently the smell was… Well you can imagine.

      The French know how to protest.

              Oh please, the entire world has skin in this game. The world’s most powerful country has been overrun by fascists, and half the people who can stop it before it leaves its borders are too “scawed” to do anything and the other half is rooting for the fascists.

                So many cowards with big mouths and big guns sitting at home waiting for the rest of us to straighten out their mess.

                  Nobody asked you for help. Just pointing out it’s easy to ask someone else to become Tank Man.

    Another reason to not like the militarization of law enforcement. There were no pictures of guardsmen. Does that mean only federal agents were there and nobody realized? The line between the military and law enforcement is no longer a blur, it’s a fucking mosaic.

      Wow, I don’t know why they keep saying “we’re unarmed”… people start open carrying at these protests. You want them to back off and leave? You want to not get shot with rubber bullets? These SS members are doing that shit because they know there won’t be any force returned to them. If this crowd showed up armed, they would have left a long time ago.

        For that to work, you need enough firepower to actually win. Anything short, and it will be a bloodbath, on your side.

        By approaching while very obviously not being a threat, it jamms their training, and forces them to think. Once they are thinking, they likely REALLY don’t want to be the ones to start shooting at American protesters.

        Yeah, you can bring a gun and they can bring rifles, armored transporters, dogs, gas and grenades. You think they will run away because someone has a gun?

    And the American Gestapo violently assaulted American citizens there and murdered someone too.
