Sap/Billy club il

I'll have to come back to that later, I am not sure about that.

@junker that's what a wrench with tape wrapped around the handle is for.

That leather handle thing has a metal or lead weight in it. called a blackjack. And ya, popo definitely considers them an offensive weapon

they're pretty much the same thing as a bike lock on a rope/bandana/etc. highly dangerous

Saps are usually super illegal, even if not they show you're there for trouble

@here friend is asking if face paint is legal

It's not and it's not a good idea either.

Is it legal to run over protestors blocking roadways?

I'm NOT just shitposting. I would like clarification. I know it's legal in NC and a few other states. I'm legitimately curious for the answer

@Spaceman (DSB) face paint is not legal. A man got arrested and charged with a felony in Virginia because he was wearing face paint, and they considered that "a mask".

If someone were to call in a bomb threat at the last minute, what would be the police's procedure under Virginia state law?

To screw us over. Unless the police had searched and cleared the area at which point they could say the threat is without merit.
What would you guess they would bet they will do?

I figured. Just wanted to double check. :/ What's the likelihood of an enemy doing that?

Depends on if the think federal terrorism charges would be filed.

That tactic has largely died down since those sorts of laws have been passed

They used bomb threats against Milo last year. I could see them at least considering that option to shut us down, especially since this rally will be so big.

Tfw I hate hecklers veto so much that I go anyway and it's actually more than a threat because they failed to mention it wasn't a threat from antifa but actually the local mosque

Rip

Pretty shocked blackjacks aren't kosher.

lmao they're generally an offense-only weapon. Of course they wouldn't be allowed.

They scream "I'm here to hurt people and I don't care who"

A wrench with a wrist lanyard gets the same job accomplished.

At best it would simply delay the rally. It's not that big of a park to run dogs through

No-mask laws should be unconstitutional

I checked the va law and you can't even wear a gas mask

@Tiwaz in this scenario, it will actually help us. Also, the irony of it originally being intended to stifle KKK activity, but now being used to arrest those who oppose White Nationalism is pretty delicious.

Respirators should not be illegal

See (ii), since they are protective equipment and the intent is not to hide identity...

@Stannisthemannis what about a mask like this

If you are in a situation where you are being maced why Not?

Can't wear it while randomly walking down the street

If you're actively Being maced you're not gonna have time to put that on

And that's a sure way to get charged

I'm bringing a 3m half mask respirator

@Johnny O'Malley I'm not worried about mace, i've been maced in the face before. CS gas is much much worse
