    Ah yes how do you propose they do that women and children in the back so they get shot and killed last?

    Or what’s your suggestion?

      Sustained protests have changed a lot in the past few years. You can ask France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Greece, The Netherlands, Serbia, Nepal, South Korea did it with varying degrees of success.

      Maybe even the Home of the Brave could do it. Don’t let your pessimism get in your way.

        It’s much harder to protest in the US since it’s so fucking big. All those countries you mentioned are tiny land mass compared to the US, so any US protests always seem so spread out.

        I’m not against protest, just saying it’s not 1 to 1.

          Why does that matter? Protest in your home town. The No Kings protests were held all across the country. No one had to travel anywhere.

        Are you aware of Kent State or the Detroit riots? They have shot and killed protestors before and no one banded together then and no one will band together now.

        Also refer to how they have DEA and friends use their facial recognition on protestors all the time and then show up at your house with bogus charges.

        Its easy to say do something from an armchair and I feel you, I wish we could do something
