    Sending courage from France, keep protesting! The police does that at most protests since the Yellow Vests here thanks to Macron.

    Take saline solution droppers to clean your eyes and scarfs or something of the sort to protect yourself. Avoid sending the grenades back with your hands and feet, a lot of people have lost limbs here because of that. Use an object to push them if need be.

    Does anyone else remember the 2020 campaign when Diaper Dementia donnie the daughter Diddler was spamming the airwaves with videos of large protests saying “This is Biden’s America” (those clips were obviously during his first term). Fast forward to his 2nd term and we get this…

      sure, but remember: kids have the same rights to protest as adults do. the only people making the place not safe is the brownshirts.

        This is pedestrian crossing logic:

        I, pedestrian, have the right of way while crossing the street, so when that coaler truck comes at me full speed, I will die. But I will die being right.

        Sorry, but I will die defending my children’s rights. My children will not die to defend my rights.

        Seriously, if you are willingly exposing your children to bullets, actual bullets, tear gas, physical violence, you should be barred from reproducing.

      Although you’re right, they also aren’t safe at home or school anymore. So where do you keep them?

        Stay at home with your children. And find another way to get your voice heard. There is no reason to fight for a future if the future is gone.

      They have more reason to be there than you do. They’ll have to live with the results longer.

      It’s also good to teach them to stand up for what’s right and to fight for it.

      It’s their world.

      Scary how many of you are willing to put your children in dangerous situations just so your values can be heard. Children don’t pay attention to adult issues. Y’all are hella sad

        Children may not pay attention to adult issues, but you quite literally hold their future in your hands. Laying down and sitting at home, allowing this to happen gives your Children a far worse future than taking a stand for them, and with them.

        The real issue is that our government has no problem hurting, abducting, and raping children.

          Your missing the point. I never said for anybody to stay home. I said don’t bring your kids to protest it’s not a safe place.

              So your logic is because you’re not the person making the protest dangerous it’s ok for you to take your kid to a not safe protest? Pure stupidity

        Peaceful protests are not “dangerous situations.”

        Let me help you fix your statement:

        Scary how many police & federal agents are willing to put people & children in dangerous situations just so they can oppress dissent. They are hella sad
