I was reading a discussion about whether shining lasers into their eyes is a violation of law. There was no clear answer. It's certainly provocative.

...and just means that they will continue to send them to every city where there are demonstrations, since it's been "proven" that their mere presence will bring protests to an end. Soon, you'll have them everywhere.

Might be worth a try. But I think they are going to intentionally insert themselves
into crowds or gatherings just to agitate.

I don't have any desire to be among a large crowd of people anyway, even outdoors and with masks.

compose a beautiful song that protesters can sing. We are in a very dangerous moment. They are hoping we will become violent.

We need to stand together and sing. Pete Seeger wrote We Shall Overcome, I sang it in many marches and it helped. Maybe Pete already wrote the the song we need. I still love Pete.

This Land is Your Land would be a good one.

The earlier protest songs were really good.

Maybe an updated version of the Kingston Trio's, "where have all the young men gone"?

"where has our democracy gone?

Long time passing,

Where has our democracy gone

We had it not long ago>"

Way back because of the Vietnam war, I marched up and down the streets of SF with a sweet lady who was 80 years old.
We marched to a field in Golden Gate Park. You had to walk through a tunnel to get there. We were all singing Pete’s song ... when you made it to the huge green grass field, Crosby Stills and Nash were singing.

That is something his goons can’t fight. We do really need good trouble at this point..we need to step it up.

in this day of instant internet exposure there should be more individual protests, Just freeway blogging type touching more people in minutes than the msm can ignore.

Good luck my friend. May you make it through this in one full piece.

Dont give them an excuse to scream about the leftists that are rioting.

Save it for the Election. When they mobilize, we'll have to strike fast to save Democracy.

Trump declares victory over the protestors, and uses that to justify expanding to other "Democtrat-run" cities.

is being led by a fascist dictator and his goons are running wild, perhaps the police for that city and perhaps with the help of the national guard, surround the protesters to protect them. If any of those goons try to arrest anyone, the police arrest them for kidnapping
