December Protest Idea Can everyone show up to the protest with either toy or cardboard samurai swords? It would send a very powerful message. Plus, we can donate the swords to Toys for Tots after the protest.
Re: December Protest Idea That would be very tasteless. A man is dead and another's life is changed forever. There will be a time to remind the world what happened to Mario Majorski and the security guard. Now, is not the time and what you suggest is NOT the way. Personally, I smell a troll.
Re: December Protest Idea THAT'S SO DUMB I CAN'T EVEN YOU WILL HAVE EVEN LESS CHANCE THAN MARIO CUZ EVEN HIS SWORDS WHERE REAL!
Re: December Protest Idea yeah, I dislike the swords idea... sorry However I am showing up to our next event in a FlakVest(kinda body armor) with a sign saying "If they kill their own members, what will they do to me?"
Re: December Protest Idea I get the humor, however as odd as we act at protests... last thing I want is to give the scilons a semi(delusionally)-valid concern for their safety. After all they have been telling their culties that we are terrorists for how long now? With the amount of time we have PEACEFULLY been outside their building the scilon overlord mantra of "terrorists" is becoming counter productive and is showing their true colors. So with sprinkles on top, lay off the fake weapons.
Re: December Protest Idea how about having a Santa in a g/f mask ring a bell im doing it here in austin hohoho
Re: December Protest Idea a bunch of you nannygoats told me i shouldn't bring neon-fuckin-colored squirtguns to a raid because they would be mistaken for weapons and we'd all get v&. i brought 'em. it was fine. the cops are smarter than y'all apparently. i swear to god we need to have another DC just so i can line up all you 'oh noes that's so tasteless' fags and slap the bejesus out of you.
Re: December Protest Idea I have two swords but they are both too heavy for single handed wielding, how about just two hatchets and some throwing knives?
Re: December Protest Idea when i remember sea arrrgh i mostly remember the pages-long debate about whether the cops would shoot and v& people with swords...
Re: December Protest Idea Then why did I get into a sword fight with a cop on a segway during seaarrggg? Trust me people, brandish and wave the things around the cops, they are pirate and ninja fans as much as we are.
Re: December Protest Idea Isn't it some form of double standard? - Wrong to show up at the scene. - Right to bring swords at the next protest. Those who support the second case seem to be the same people who complained about the first one...
Re: December Protest Idea Because there's no point in turning up and getting in the way/distracting the police when they're investigating a shooting. If the people that went had any information for them, it would have made sense. As it was, they knew NOTHING.
Re: December Protest Idea if you want to talk about double standards, it helps to compare two things that are somewhat similar :helpful:
Re: December Protest Idea I didn't think about the Searrrgh protest until ya mentioned it... Fair rebuttal imho. /still going clad in body armor with before mentioned sign.
Re: December Protest Idea Are you sure they were "getting in the way/distracting the police"? They are somewhat similar.
Re: December Protest Idea If they're out there protesting near a murder scene, people are going to have to keep an eye on them, clearly.
Re: December Protest Idea let's see... going to a crime scene while the cops are still gathering evidence and hollering about scientology... fail bringing cardboard samurai swords to protests weeks after the incident... lulz yup clearly ann does indeed fail at determining the presence of double standards ann, report to the dome at your leisure for corrective discipline
Re: December Protest Idea So, you finally managed to compare the two situations. This is a good starting point.
Re: December Protest Idea if you can defend your pointless point, feel free. no one's going to do it for you.
Re: December Protest Idea I already made it. I find it funny that the people who seemed so offended a few days ago are the first ones to jump on the new idea. By the way, I do not say it is a bad idea. But we could just take the time to think about it before using it.
Re: December Protest Idea your mistake is in thinking that everyone's objection to the former situation was a matter of offense. =)
Re: December Protest Idea Offended? I didn't see many, if any, people taking offence at the idea of people going to protest. It was more a case of everyone thinking that it was a stupid idea. Oh, and this "new idea" was originally suggested at pretty much the same time.

Re: December Protest Idea FFS going to a crime scene =/= bringing TOY swords to the next protest anyone who can't understand the difference is too stupid to live
Re: December Protest Idea Anyone who can't understand the difference between comparable and equal is stupid.
Re: December Protest Idea oh good point, because one was pirates and the other is ninjas and they're like mortal enemies and whatnot
