Do not bring ASPs and expandible batons

that is so subjective you can be fucked in a moment with it even if cop is on your side the city can push against it

*ie they will)

Does anyone need a shield?

But it's ok to open carry a knife 🤔

Makes sense.gif

Please no one come dressed like a power ranger

@Diethard this guy

This minus the plate carrier.

@RexLexus I just gave mine away but check <#321395356216590347>

@James_Coney - LA

God, do I know that feel... they won't even show up when I invite them to my home.

They didn't even send the shit in the mail they promised to prank me with

Umbrellas

Bring one

Besides rain protection they can be used as a weapon, you can hide your face from media if we walk past them, they can offer you or a wounded comrade shade, etc

Definitely good for rain at least. I would also avoid wearing all this stuff right away if you bring it. We don't want to look like larping idiots in a field

If things get out of hand a helmet/shield/goggles might come in handy but just standing around in that outfit will look pretty ridiculous imo

@johncolt

Exactly.

I'll have my gloves on, because it takes some time to get them on properly and we may need to respond to a very sudden attack, but plan to have my goggles, mouthguard, et al. stowed in my hydration pack.

Let the reds be seen as the ones who showed up looking to start a fight, as opposed to simply prepared for one

Yup. We want more and more "regular" Americans to feel comfortable joining our ranks. And looking like autists does not advance that goal.

Nothing against autists, just look normal!
