minus-squareshalafi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·7 months agoI 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.
