For those attending the rallies this Saturday

First THANK YOU...

Second, if you are older and have gone to a few... just re-read for reminders.

1.- You can expect (depending where how loud) a few counter protestors. IGNORE THEM. If they try to verbally escalate RESIST the temptation. I know this is hard, but these guys are LOOKING for them famously absent Union Thugs, so we NEED to be saints and NOT give them that image of an actual thug.

2.- If they get violent separate and GET THE COPS... again, we need to be saints about this.

3.- That said, if you fear for your safety, ONLY THEN defend yourself.

4.- TAKE CAMERAS and DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. If you happen to have a cheap one, that is the best choice. I know expensive cameras are great, but...

5.- Take food and water with you.

If you happen to have special skills, identify yourself to rally organizers ahead off... these would be First Aid and crowd control

Remember strength is in numbers and these THUGS, they are the thugs... want, wish, need US to become violent. That is their talking point, let's disappoint them ok.

Also many of these rallies should have monitors to make sure the rally is not infiltrated by well... agent provocateurs. Follow their instructions.

For the most part this will be peaceful since we are peaceful folks.
