Despite having been the one to shoot and kill Ah Loo and wound Arturo, the yet unidentified No Kings “peacekeeper” was detained and released without charges after being questioned by police.

    I’m with you on the rifle, but black blocking is an effective protest method to keep police from being able to target individuals. If a large number of people wear all black with masks, it becomes harder to prosecute individual protestors.

      In a group that is black blocking, yes.

      Being the only person lack blocking with an AR 15 on a side street away from the crowd? That’s cosplaying as a mass shooter.

        Again, I totally agree about the gun. You just don’t always know who will be black blocked before you go, so sometimes you are one of only a few.

          If nobody else did it, then don’t be the only one. Either skip that protest or blend in without the mask.
