Everyone spread the message, if you see anything going violent or wrong, sit down. Sit down fast, because Trump is going to have his thugs there starting fires, or breaking windows - something to justify the armed forces!

If everyone actually there expressing their right to peacefully protest just sits down when someone does wrong, it will be quite clear who the evildoers are. Just sit and film them. Riots will never be the answer. Put the blame on only those committing crimes! Odds are good they’ll be the great minority and extremists if one side or the other. Make it clear, and be safe. Sit.

Be careful filming with phones, though. I saw a protester at another location say he heard one of the masked "agents" tell another one to arrest the ones with phones, then they arrested his nonviolent girlfriend, just for being there recording on her phone. These masked "agents" are nothing short of the Gestapo on the loose.

If you film, try to livestream. Then if they do take your phone, you’ve already shared what’s going on. Harder to hide the evidence.

Do you think they could be Oath Keepers? Or Proud Boys, pardoned by Trump?

“Giving” back to their country? Why are they masked if not? Rumored by Trump to be wonderful Patriots? Gestapo, YES!

Of course they are the oath keepers and the proud boys. Why else would they hide their faces?

Absolutely! I'd bet on it; if not the pardoned J6ers, they're all most likely criminals.

Maybe, but are you going to that because of the uniforms, because police agencies all wear tactical gear for crowds.

I'd go one better... everyone stay off the streets and close your businesses - especially restarants, so these thugs can go hungry. Make LA and the surrounding area a ghost town.

Part of the resistance needs to be economical. I thought from early on that all workers, especially migrants, should not go to work. Understanding that somehow they should be compensated.

Sitting mostly makes it easier for someone (or a horse) to kick you in the head.
