I used to wonder how Hitler found people willing to kill for him.

If you’re going to wear MAGA gear in public, you better have the situational awareness AT ALL TIMES to defend yourself, and especially out with your wife! I’m not blaming the guy for getting sucker punched, but how many times are Trump supporters going to get their ass kicked and not fight back, or even put up a defense of some kind?
Just taking a beating is not working, if that’s some kind of strategy our side has employed.

Looks like AntiFA mugshots.
I’m shocked they were actually arrested in Portland.

"I dont know where these folks are from but in my experience in fights or trouble it is NEVER fair, NO ONE gives you time to prepare and a sucker punch or grab from behind or just straight out firing the gun or stabbing happens in a blink."
Your experience? Did you live in a rough neighborhood for years. If so, were you the only white person for several miles? Did you practice in a martial arts school for at least a few years? Boxing? Self-defense training with firearms (not simply ranges but with attack scenarios)? Military combat training with the majority of training time spent on infantry drills? Police patrol work with many arrests? Ever been a bouncer for long?
First, do some kind of useful martial art or self-defense training. There are different ways to defend oneself in different situations. Be ready to escalate. Carry pepper spray, if that's legal in your jurisdiction.
* Be aware of your surroundings, especially the people around you. Do you see anyone acting suspiciously at all?
* If you're isolated and in a situation where you might be attacked, don't let any violence-capable stranger approach you without being at least fairly certain that the person won't try to harm you.
* Keep enough distance from yourself and any un-trusted stranger who acts suspiciously and continues to approach. Watch the stranger's hands. Don't backpeddle, but slide the feet to move sideways. Stay rooted. Keep the feet apart.
* Ask the stranger what he or she wants. Move away if necessary. Be ready to defend yourself.
* If a suspicious approach continues, say something like "Stop! Stay back! I don't want any trouble."
* If the advance hastens or otherwise continues after that, do whatever you need to do to defend yourself in that particular circumstance.
Safety is not absolute for anyone in this world. We could be smashed to giblets while sitting in easy chairs in our houses or die during our next drive. We're not going to live forever. Police live with it, and so can anyone who is competent and fit. Get self-defense insurance.
Or don't develop plans or do anything. It's up to you. The more ferals are born illegitimately, improperly reared and allowed to expand into new areas with fear of being stopped, the more they'll eventually surround and close in on the defenseless.

And don’t forget the hands-free body cameras (see Amazon). Those are protection against lies that come from little mobs after incidents.

I dont care if im armed to the teeth. Im not gonna take the chance of getting injured or my family getting injured until the time comes to join a militia, if it came to that.
Yeah with that attitude, I'm sure you'll be picked first to be on the militia team. Learn to fight like John Wayne and shoot like John Wick!

#12. We got a “Trump for President” homemade sticker in 2015 and put it on our car. It is still there and does attract attention.
Next to it is a “We fight for freedom” sticker and a “Vietnam” sticker on the right side of the car.
Viet vets wave. Leftists sneer and run.
I don’t have gun in the car but my old geology pick ax/hammer will put a major “hurt” and “hole” on some fool who starts trouble.
Next we are getting a larger sticker that says: “Our family: Iwo Jima; Vietnam; Iraq”.
My son’s truck has his Army unit’s number as his license plate and “OIF” as his war designation.
My son-in-law, a 10 year Marine, has the USMC symbol on his truck. We’re going to get him his “OIF” sticker to add on it.
“Message sent; message received”.
Oh, a couple NRA stickers didn’t hurt either.

True, every word of it... in the situation shown in the video though, it did look like say, a Glock short .45 with a full mag could have worked wonders.
Addressing your original comment though. I generally agree. And I think it sucks that a slogan and article of clothing makes somebody (or millions of somebodies) go nuts. It is getting really tough to not feel like you are living in a run up, a "cold civil war" of sorts that will actually become "hot" at some point in another decade or two.

It’s getting HOT on the other side already.
And you guys from the south/midwest that use guns like I use my car have at least a chance if someone jacks you.
I have been to ranges but maybe a dozen times in my life and that’s good enough to shoot a 200 pound target at the front door but not so good in a situation where you really need to know how to use it.
A blackjack (do they call it that anymore?) in the pocket would be good though.

Some still use blackjack — the term ‘sap’ is a little less dated I suppose. I’m not sure what the modern terminology is; I don’t even have friends of friends that I know dabble in criminal behavior these days. MUCH different story in 1982...

Wow, same story here, compared to the mid 1990s :)
Well I have a good friend who is John Gotti Jr’s personal attorney.
And a 90 year old uncle who wielded power in the day but anyone he could call on to help would be 90 too :)

As long as a man can lift and hold a few pounds reasonably steady in a hand that can grip for a few seconds and has a finger that can contract, he remains capable...
One of the things I love about FR is that a lot of us may have had some rocky roads in the rear view, we can talk and get along with the folks that have done it (at east mostly) right from the start. Quite a few FReepers with interesting pasts. Others are just interesting people that were able to accomplish some things that maybe the interesting pasts kept some if us away from.
Hang in there dp. And if you need a ‘safe place’, ;-) you probably got at least one option in North Texas...
