I have no idea why people go to American protests unarmed. Is it not clear enough that these fascists only understand violence and personal consequences?

If Florida ever goes open carry, I'll be there, on the intimidating side. We've shown again and again that liberals sporting rifles and shotguns is straight fascist repellent. Like any other predator, they will not engage in a fair fight.
