    It’s the equivalent of me holding up a brick while crossing the road.

    I don’t want to throw it at someone’s windshield. I’d rather not deal with that headache.

    But if you zoom on through, I can’t guarantee I’ll maintain my grip on it, and it’s going through your windshield.

    Slow down and we will never have to find out what that brick looks like soaring through the air.

    Also daily reminder that Armed Minorities are harder to oppress.

    For those who find this inspirational rather than simply amusing, I recommend making the sign double sided. No sense in advertising to the world that you have a bat until you need to do so.

      Disagree, bring your friends with bats. More bats advertised the better. Cops are pussys they wont fuck with large groups of prepared and armed unless absolutely ordered to.

        Have you ever been hit with hot tear gas canisters, rubber bullets, or sonic artillery?

        And what gives you the impression that they won’t be ordered to? With the current political climate being what it is, they will likely have those orders before the protest even starts.

          Nothing, that’s what the ‘bats’ are for: to use. honestly if you’re protesting you expect this outcome silly. start getting comfortable with violence people we’re going to need it.

        But they will absolutely record everyone’s faces and raid them at night in retaliation for daring to protest armed.

        Black bloc and mask up, don’t bring your phones.

          yes. thats pretty standard fair, the photo’d guy is not following safe protesting. the bat in the photo was probably just a stick of opportunity for his sign.
