2. Caution of History for April 5, Protests

We must remember January 6, 2021 Riots and contemplate the possibilities now that Trump has enabled the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Racists and other violent right wing republicans and take precautions to keep these same thugs for destroying our protest messages and focusing the lame steam media on “our” violence during the protests. We need to assume the thugs are showing up and suggest to the leaderships of each city protest that they contact The City Governments, Police, Prosecutors and cc. to media that we are aware of the probability of this happening and that we expect “equal protection of the law” no matter the party of the thugs. And be sure everyone is ready to film up close who is causing the violence for potential law suits and criminal evidence. We should try very hard not to respond violence with violence and keep the facts on our side. Then we should report as widely as we can what we all witnessed and filmed. The protests from Trumps first “election” were a mess in Portland partly because the Proud Boys etc were successful at starting violence and not getting punished for it. Let's be vocal And stay safe as we can While staying ahead of the thugs.
