    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?
