And safety glasses/goggles. People are careless with their signs and catching the corner of some tagboard sign in your eye ruins your day fast. And if rocks, rubber bullets, pepper spray, and broken glass start flying, you'll at least be able to see your way out of the crowd.

gently caress the naysayers is this thread. Yah we get that you're too cool for school. Go start a thread promoting nihilistic contrarianism if it is so important for you to waste words on it. The rest of us in the real world might remember that even law and order conservatives could protest, network, form "The Tea Party", give the establishment one hell of a scare, and steam roll the Obama administration through obstructionism. Go to the protests. Even if the only message is "gently caress Trump" and it has no hope of undoing the election. Get educated on all the issues. Network. Find like minded groups with concrete goals and competent leadership. It can work. 40 hour work weeks, votes for women, and the end of Jim Crow all came about from organizing and protesting.

A big flaming stink posted:... one of the goals today was to try and march onto the freeway which...sounds a bit dodgy to me, but I am a wimp at civil disobedience so my opinion probably doesn't count for much. People on the freeway will get on the regional and often national news. And it gets those iconic shots of crowds of people from the view of a helicopter. Think of it this way... The US has a very strong car culture, and the interstate highways are the arteries of commerce. Throwing a wrench in that for an hour or two is a legit way to protest. And the cops know well in advance that you will be there and make sure emergency services get routed around it. That said, if you already have a big crowd, you could just surround city hall, and spend your time scheming and networking.
