not sure lethal force would be justified (legally), but otherwise am 100 percent for socialists with CC. it was at the monthly social event, and a bit tricky since if you have members packing at a bar and drinking you might run into some trouble. but there's no law saying you can't carry spray of your own...

also throwing chairs at the dude could work too

See if KY has stand your ground. If true. Then, probably could legally put the subhumans in the dirt. Let's be honest, the only way to stop this poo poo is if at least one of them gets put down.

also i don't think shooting someone over pepper spray is a super good idea even if it may be technically legal in a stand your ground state

So if we're asking private individuals to act as security instead of hiring professionals, what makes that different from learning to fight and carrying a concealed weapon yourself? Other than patting yourself on the back for insisting on letting other people get their hands dirty for you.

For real though if the cops were sympathetic to the fash agitators going in and pepper spraying people who were trying to eat and not fighting back, what would their reaction have been if they saw chairs and punches being thrown at their friends? It was a set-up, they were trying to start a fight they knew they would win. I think the entire point of the incident was to provoke a violent response so when the cops came they would start busting heads and arresting people. It's pretty obvious who would NOT have been arrested.

Delivering some instant karma is satisfying to think about, but in this particular scenario I think the DSA people did the right thing. It was a pain in the rear end and their eyes hurt for a few hours, but now they have an opportunity to make the WN and some of their cop buddies' eyes water and butts hurt for a lot longer, in front of a much larger audience. The WN are the ones who are disappointed that nobody threw a chair at them.

Nah, WN can only be dealt with by violence. The ideal nation will be one where anyone on nazi boards would have their ip logged, and then their house assaulted by security services that would then take them to a center where they can be properly taught to love the world and fear God.

Yeah but the point here is that violence is only the answer if you can win. There's not much point in violently responding to fascists if all you're going to do is prove to the fascists that they can, in fact, kick your rear end.

This is totally true, and self-protection also includes knowing what to do in situations that aren't as clear-cut. I hope that legal advice is being given along with self-defense tips, because the fash absolutely get pointers from sleazy lawyers and cops on how to push legal boundaries or stay within the word of the law. And even then they're not very good at it, so if you can teach people what laws they are trying to goad them into breaking, then it's the chuds who will make the mistakes that can be used against them in court.

Being Clever is a battle they've got serious disadvantages in, they can only win if they literally or metaphorically catch you in an ambush that they planned out thinking you'll be unprepared if you don't see it coming. I know this is done before protests but it might be good to reinforce that a fight can last weeks & months after the last punch is thrown, so don't get blindsided by a civil suit or something.

Yeah, they'll probably be recording it too because the internet believes anything it sees in a 30 second retweeted video, and it's always wonderful to see one get owned by a longer "Here's the whole thing, for context" reply.

Any political group that arms itself and trains in the use of weapons is a paramilitary group. If you're advocating that individual DSA members try to be the Good Guy With A Gun that's an even worse idea. When fascists actually are jumping out of trucks with bats and pipes to beat people to death then we can talk about an armed wing of the DSA (lmao), but until then you're massively over escalating in response to a pepper spray attack.

This is one of the dumbest reactions you can possibly have.

The guy you're responding insists he grew up in the ghetto and the only reason he isn't dead right now is because he has 900 guns. You're not going to reach him.

quote:

Ledwith said the attack happened in a busy shopping area in Portland at around 2.30pm on Friday 8 June. Toese and two other men had been yelling at strangers from a truck, he said.

“They were yelling: ‘Support Trump, build the wall,’” Ledwith said.

Ledwith responded with a profanity, he said, and the men stopped their vehicle. Ledwith said Toese and another man, Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer supporter Donovan Flippo, got out.

“They were calling me a human being and slinging epithets at me,” Ledwith said. “Tiny walked over calmly and … punched me in the face. I’m like, half his size. I was not a threat to them. I’m 34 years old, not 17. This is not a thing that happens to me day-to-day.”

Ledwith said the punch knocked him to the ground and opened a gash in his lip. He was treated at hospital, he said, receiving several stitches.

A witness, who did not wish to be identified, told the Guardian she saw the attack from a block away. Toese, she said, punched Ledwith. Flippo, she said, stood beside Toese but was not physically involved. Ledwith offered no physical provocation, the witness said, and did not respond violently.

Photos showed Ledwith’s injuries and Flippo walking towards the pickup truck, wearing a T-shirt marked “Antifa Removal Service”. The pickup, which carries Washington plates, is registered to Russell Schultz of Vancouver, Washington, a known attendee at Patriot Prayer rallies.

Hmm, nope, not something you should murder a human being over. Carry pepper spray or a taser or a baton if you're worried about being punched, but don't shoot people over it unless they're trying to kill you.

Someone living in a poor area with high crime is in more danger of generally living there than they are of cops shooting them because they have a gun. I'm a strong advocate of firearms being available to the poor because they're often the ones in the greatest need of self-defense and the least able to rely on police to keep them safe.

chitoryu12 posted:

I didn't grow up rich, buddy. I still live in a neighborhood where I've been subjected to car theft and attempted break-ins. Sorry you just expect the cops to protect you if you're in danger.

chitoryu12 posted:

Growing up in this neighborhood I've had:

* My grandparent's car stolen out of the driveway shortly after their death.

* One or two attempted break-ins where the person was scared and ran out of our yard after getting spotted.

* When I was a kid, a pedophile being caught naked and masturbating in my backyard.

* A renter at the house across the street physically attacking his girlfriend and their infant daughter in the driveway during an argument.

Any of those situations could have ended up a lot worse. In the last one I actually did come out with a rifle that cost me $137 because I could hear the baby screaming and realized what was going on. It was an extremely unpleasant situation that left me shaking from adrenaline and fear for the rest of the night after he fled.

So yeah, I'm a strong advocate of people passing background checks and being allowed to arm themselves without a ton of hoops and added cost. I've actually been in the kinds of situations where someone being unarmed could have ended a lot worse if things didn't go differently. And I'm sure as hell not calling the cops as a first resort when they're so trigger-happy.

Support legal firearm ownership. Arm poor minorities. gently caress the police.
