This is going to happen more and more.
We need to organize community defense groups, so that our demonstrations, rallies, and marches are adequately protected.
Some people who seem to know what they are doing in this field can be found at USCPT.Org -- the core of this group are former Arizona Oathkeepers.
I have not talked to their leaders personally, face-to-face --- only via Zoom -- but I can say that they seem sensible, and sincere. I'm not big on 'grow your own healing herbs', which some of them are into. But it's not compulsory, and we need to unite all who can be united.
