      “Since the murder of George Floyd in May 2020, more than 100 incidents of hostile drivers ramming into activists have been documented. These assailants have included police officers, gun-toters, and even, in one instance, a Ku Klux Klan leader. Many, though not all, of these aggressors were charged under local statutes—but now, a growing number of Republican state lawmakers are trying to ensure that, in the future, such vehicular attacks get a pass.”

        I have no idea why people go to American protests unarmed. Is it not clear enough that these fascists only understand violence and personal consequences?

        If Florida ever goes open carry, I’ll be there, on the intimidating side. We’ve shown again and again that liberals sporting rifles and shotguns is straight fascist repellent. Like any other predator, they will not engage in a fair fight.

            So is not fighting back in the most effective means possible. They already intend to kill you, they’re just waiting for their oppurtunity.

            Propose alternative means of dissuasion if you want to be dismissive of given ones, the given ones seem effective enough…

                I didn’t say it was the most effective, I said give other means if you don’t think it is.
