Here we go again,
The Peaceful LA Protests of June, 2025 worked. We're all talking about it now. If the LA protests weren't peaceful, we would have different talking points for this weekend's protests and protesters would have been killed. This administration wants this.
YSK - That there is a lot of trolling and brigading starting to happen around the LA peaceful protests to start violence. Here is a roadmap from 2015 on how they do it.: https://sh.itjust.works/post/39873361
Also, this:

This administration already called in the national guard for a peaceful protest. Do you think that it will stop here and the they will not continue to commit more and more violence against peaceful protestors until we reach a breaking point and have to start defending ourselves?
Or are we supposed to allow ourselves to become martyrs and die before we fight back against those that would see us dead.
It stayed peaceful. What do you think will happen if you open carry? Are you trying to get people killed?
False. The protestors stayed peaceful the police shot at the crowed with weapons that are called "less lethal" but have still killed people before and permanently disable people often.
Again
People are already being killed by police/ice/this administration. If we open carry then the oppressors will die too, and each time one of them dies, they'll think a bit harder before taking action against the population.
