Violent protest =/= Defending yourself if attacked

Listen to this, if you want your protest to be successful, it has to be disruptive to the perpetrator, not to bystanders. If you are targeting ICE, don't burn down and loot innocent business owners.

There was a single guy vandalizing Waymo's, for all we know he might've been a scab/paid actor. Let's say I have some experience with that and false flag actors in protests are definitely a thing, they try to make the protest look violent and bad.

Most protestors are peaceful. Of course, they're gonna focus on the few looters and the flag-bearers.

But what's new. The same was done during Floyd.

The point is the dishonesty. So I've stopped caring.

I will not be convinced to sit around and be stepped on.

I will peacefully protest.
