I’m up in Canada so we are all just on edge watching to see what will happen tomorrow for mass protesting.
Whatever happens, everyone stay safe, protect and guard yourself from danger and keep aware of your surroundings. Stay with a small group of allies and keep yourselves safe.
If you are not prepared and don’t know what you are doing … stay back and don’t become front line fodder.
If you are prepared and equipped, stay safe, protect yourself, run and hide if you must. I’d rather see you running than to be put in danger.
Whatever you do tomorrow to take part, we’re all cheering for our American brothers and sisters standing for democratic rights and fighting against fascism.
What does this have to do with Trek, aside from a bell riots reference thrown in? Seems off topic for the sake of pure political promotion of an event. Your advice to take a poncho and leave your phone, valid, thank you, but it’s way off topic seriousposting.
What does this have to do with Trek
Either you’ve not watched the episodes or are being deliberately obtuse, as they deal with mass protests against looming fascism, now.
Ask Captain Sisko how he feels about the revolt being necessary, or better yet since you’re so concerned about keeping Ten Forward a safe space, go ask Guinan how she feels about fascists and see if she shares your “no politics” philosophy
Well, that dial went to 11, I hope you feel better. Want a glass of water?
It’s the Bell Riots, not the Bell Peaceful Protests. Playing it safe is probably going to stop being an option sooner or later. That said, there’s good evidence that if No Kings hits 3.5% turn out, the movement is practically guaranteed success, so maybe riots can be avoided.
I wish I could have gotten a riot shield in advance; apparently they’re pretty good at reflecting LRAD back to the sender. The next best thing appears to be over-the-ears construction muffs, which are inexpensive and easily available at Ace, Home Depot, and Lowes.
I was thinking these leaf scoopers would make good improvised bucklers.
