    bring allot of people with guns.

    Sounds like a great way to depress turnout. If I hear the protest is going to have a lot of people with guns, then I’m not going to that protest. You know the cops have guns, too, right?

      that is unfortunate, because otherwise a protest is easily ignored and pushed around, and is only useful in placating the people as a means to think they are making a difference without inconveniencing those who would harm the nation.

      especially when the media is adversarial to your cause.
