Note, I’m neither American, nor heavily in that scene. I’m merely signal boosting what I feel is important information countering lib propaganda.

    if you have a gun, expect to be shot (at)

    Yeah so the Black Panthers deserved to be shot at because they open-carried to demonstrate their power? Bad take. Needs more information.

      Yep.

      Bad take.

      Only if guns are your culture. For the rest of us, there is no safety in a war zone, cosplay or not.

        Yes guns literally are the culture in that part of the country. That’s my point. No it shouldn’t be that way, but it is. So right now, it’s absolutely not socially or legally abnormal in that part of the country to be open-carrying guns in public. And it doesn’t mean that the area is a warzone.

        Yep.

        Well I’m glad to know you won’t stand with people who defend themselves against their oppressors. Not sure why you’re in this anarchist community if you’re not even willing to support people who stand against their own oppression but whatever 💩💩💩

      Expect =/= deserve

      The black panthers open carried in part to expose the hypocrisy of a system that was already indiscriminantly violent towards black people
