[Vanity] Going to attend a BLM ‘protest’ in my city as observer - Advice?
06/10/2020 | FWdude

Posted on 06/10/2020 2:39:54 PM PDT by fwdude

I’ve been made aware of a “rally” planned this Friday for a protest by the anti-police mob. The area of town is very conservative, blue-collar, and Trump-supporting. It is definitely an invitation to provoke. I want to attend to record some of the shenanigans that the activists will no doubt engage in. Should I bring a backup crew? Weapons?

Incidentally, there is a privately owned civil war museum right up the road from the park where the protest will occur. I’m concerned that some of the anarchist will try to damage it.

If there are any other FReepers in the D/FW area who are interested in going as observers and recorders, I’ll welcome all comers.

My first advice would be: "Don't go".

But if you must go: "Don't go alone."

Pray that God sees fit to accompany you as your primary backup.

Get a couple human friends to come with you. Big guys are recommended.

You'll need your hands free, so have a small pack you can carry on your front. Backpacks can be bad in a fight and they slow your agility.

Hope to hear from you on the other side of it.

Pics/video, or it didn't happen. :-)

Have an Exit Plan.

Look up situational awareness for a refresher.   Stay safe.

Observer at a BLM rally?

Look at the stats of black crime against whites. Are you hearing the constant anti-white rhetoric from black politicians, leaders and celebrities? I'm of the opinion that American blacks generally have hate and animosity toward white people. Those who don't are the exception.

If you're not black, you will be like a Jew with a Star-of-David patch observing a Nazi Nuremberg rally. Any white person would be foolish to attend these rallies.

Wait, is a "trans-black" a white guy who thinks he's black?

If so, the guy with the sign is major FAIL -- he is still white.

Just sayin'

At least the man looting the CVS was wearing a mask, looting responsibly. Fauci is pleased.

I’ve been informed that the rally is being organized by a bunch of young, hippy-ish millennials, but that lie may be put the rest. The surrounding area is military, blue collar and conservative Trump country. Some residents nearby are concerned about their safety. I’m hoping that tempers some of the violent tendencies>

Yeah, if memory serves me regarding books read in the very distant past, he probably could have gotten a few tips in that regard if he had read this book first...
