I trust the organizers on the ground in Louisville to do what's right for their community in the moment and in the coming weeks.

are either false flag Trump supporters or anarchists.

Also you will have opportunists that take advantage of protests to loot.

I wonder how false flag operators were avoided during the peaceful 60s desegregation protests.

Good advice about not doing anything physical against the right wingers. They are just looking for an excuse to shoot you.

I think there could be actual angry people that will break things who aren't Anarchists, or Antifa, or Anarcho-Syndicalists, or Trotskyites, or Maoists.

The cops are already shooting people with pepper balls.

But I’m with you praying for calm. No one needs a shitshow like Kenosha, Portland, et al.
