gives them what they need to escalate.
We need to have discipline, do not give them what need.

No visible firearms if you feel the need to carry. Bad idea, don't do it. I understand the desire, myself I'm a strong proponent of the 2A. But it is a really bad idea.

Throw no bricks, only insults and snowballs. I like the idea of water balloons.

Document any encounter, gather the receipts. Useful to counter the 'official narrative'.

Any other suggestions?
