Quite the opposite. I have machine-gun lips, just like Karoline Leavitt AZJonnie Oct 2025 #3
The chance of violence at my particular location is extremely low. Wednesdays Oct 2025 #4

...I’m a-goin back out fore the rain starts a-fallin
I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioner’s face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And I’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin
But I’ll know my song well before I start singin ...

I'm not going to let the threat of violence stop me.

If I did, that is handing them the win.

However, I can't say it's low for...what, 2500 locations?

I work for a company that executes large government contracts. I worry if I was photographed at a protest that my job could be negatively affected.

I can't physically be at any No Kings rally, but I'll be there at each and every rally around the country in spirit, and, no, I'm not afraid of violence from these Nazi POS's.
