Nope. That is a VERY bad idea. If we go thug on thug it will only worsen our cause. We will drive away or discourage our base (who are genuinely committed to the rule of law) while energizing and justifying the left (who aren’t).

No one said ANYTHING about ATTACKING Black Panthers. Simply ESCORTING and PROTECTING innocent, good folks into the polls — UNARMED — is NOT a crime. And DEFENDING yourself OR those helpless people is not a THUGERY either. and it CANNOT be misportrayed to EVERYONE EVERYWHERE if you HAVE Alternative Media (as we do — for now)to set the record straight.

If we simply ACCEPT that we must meekly take THEIR force and violence and NEVER defend ourselves, and THEIR version of the story as the “PUBLIC” reality, then we do a DISSERVICE to our cause, to HISTORY, and we SHAME our FOUNDERS, who would NEVER have settled for such a state of affairs! To let this opportunity pass now without utilizing the means we have is to practically gaurantee a more desperate struggle with less means and far more likely violence later.

As John F. Kennedy once said, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” By being unwilling to use ALL PEACEFUL and PUBLIC means at our disposal NOW to put THEIR thugs on the defensive, you unwittingly give THEM the upper hand and virtually gaurantee their control, and the necessity that “We The People” will have to fight a VIOLENT revolution later to regain the Liberties we were once promised by our Founders as a part of our God-ordained heritage...
