I was just reading about that protest and Shaun's accusations about the Proud Boys being behind it this morning, thinking there was more to the story.

I'm Switzerland. You come to me intending to do harm, I will respond in kind. You come to me in peace, I will respond in kind. Otherwise, it's not my concern.

So happy Tim did a video on it.

Banker!

If you don't involve me, I won't involve myself. But if you involve me, I'll do whatever it takes to protect myself/my family

typical swiss neutrality!

tfw there's no swiss flag reacc

i feel like most of these antifa people are complete text book sociopaths

many probably have a real mental illness and they cultishly brainwash young impressionable people

they're not, they're children, braniwashed children

who want to be heroes

and "change the world"

Imo few more incidents like this and donald trump is certain for 2 term

Also there will come time when police will descend on these ppl

Those innocent people getting attacked in Oakland by protesters is highly concerning. Its like Trump Supporters can’t meet up anywhere without worrying about a literal mob showing up to attack us. I’ve been putting off getting a conceal and carry, but I’m obviously going to need one if I plan to support Trumps 2020 run in public.

Also i wonder if proud boys could sue shaun king for slander

If they can, then they should.

He’s supposed to be a journalist, but It’s Going Down did a better job. That’s pretty pathetic.

Depends if they have some sort of membership

he's just doing it for attention

he knows better

@Deleted User If a gun is a deterrent, wouldn't it work better if people knew you had it? I seriously never understood concealed carry.

Not American, btw

You can’t open carry in my state, or I would @Kriiakulos.1644 . I agree with you.

Part of the idea of concealed carry is that no one knows exactly who is armed.

@Kriiakulos.1644 If you're open carrying, people know you're armed. There is a possibility that makes you more of a target than the people around you in some kind of situation.

Concealed carry means you walk softly and carry a big stick, on the other hand.

Think of it like vaccination. If you think that 10% of people in a room might be armed but you don't know which, it's more dangerous to charge in and start doing violence.

Nobody knows if you or the people around you could return their fire with your own, so it's actually more of a deterrent.

So the 10% protect the 90 by extension.

It's also less scary to random bystanders.

Well i think lot will depends on this midterms

Antifa isn’t nearly as bad here. Probably because of that. They’re in the cites, but I’ve seen little violence from them. Could be because we’re all armed.

Concealed carry also implies drawing it when threatened (but only when threatened)

I wonder which result would be better

If republicans win big time that could make them more desperate and aggressive

@Deleted User Where are you? It's probably a more factor of local strength and the likelihood they'd get away with it.

If dems win big time that could encourage them

A number of ANTIFA have been getting away with beating people.
