Funny. This kind of counter protest suggestion usually gets downvoted on Lemmy. Good change.

I'm so happy to see them out. Pigs ain't gonna fuck with a crowd of dudes with automatic shotguns

Sorry I had a fight in the middle of your Black Panther party.

I know one thing that ICE doesn't: never fuck with anyone from Philadelphia. I learned that lesson long ago. They do not fuck around.

I wonder what ratio of protesters + guns is enough to deter ICE.

Like if there was only 1 person there with a semi automatic shotgun, how much more likely are they to attempt something illegal than if there was 20.

If that ratio could be figured out, then it'd be easier to coordinate and ensure enough armed people are everywhere.

SDS reformed about 20 years ago, so maybe we can do some real Rainbow Coalition again.
