    Renee Good didn’t have a gun and got killed anyways. It’s a good idea for everyone to arm themselves to fight fascism, believe it or not.

      Do you realize that Minnesota is doing it right and that we should follow their lead instead of criticizing them?

        I’m not criticising anyone, just pointing out your fallacious reasoning. For what it’s worth, I don’t think there is one single “right” approach, revolutionary movements are complex and multi-faceted, successful movements usually have a more moderate wing and a more militant wing, I want to see that more militant wing start to become bigger, stronger, and more visible. A peaceful protest movement by itself accomplishes very little - it is the state’s fear of the threat of worsening violence which actually brings about a change. For that fear to be realized, it needs to be visible. I don’t want widespread violence or mass shootings, I just want visibly armed protesters standing up against ICE and defending themselves if necessary.
