Always wish the turnout was higher, but not terrible considering it’s on short notice and in the middle of the day.

    I would have protested two blocks over then.

    They want us to fight with each other, don’t give them what they want. I agree with the direction the protests are moving to. We don’t have a lot of time, so we need to be efficient with the locations.

    What are some things that an individual can do when not attending a protest? Someone in another post was mentioning how they had to work and couldn’t attend. I think we should come up with a list of ideas people can pick through. For me, I live in a really blue state, so it’s more difficult to come up with things for solo activities. I have made a few stencils for spray painting messages, but I don’t think that’s really super effective. Most of the people around here would just agree and move on.

    Im curious to hear someone’s ideas. I’m not opposed to doing crime, so, don’t hold back. Just no fires, because that could hurt innocent people if they get out of hand.

      You’re part of the problem. “Give me convenience or give me death”

      You think the protest didn’t cover two blocks when thousands of people were there?? It’s okay to not criticize protests you weren’t at and don’t have local knowledge of. You don’t have to say that LA was doing it wrong to say that you liked another protest. It’s fine to just lift something up without putting something else down.

      There’s also absolutely no way you’re going to convince me to post about doing crime on the internet, even “hypothetically”, because I’m not a moron.

      Show up to your local protests if you can, show up for your community if you can’t. Assume anyone asking you to talk about crimes is a fed.

        There is a difference between saying they did it wrong and saying there is opportunity for better.

        You’re welcome to private message me if you’d like to have a fun brainstorming session out of public view.
