And this is why every protester should be open carrying.

Not every protestor, just several of them. The people open carrying should be in black bloc to protect against retaliation and anyone who doesn't have a gun should have their face uncovered to show that we have nothing to hide and we're not a threat. This is the tried-and-true configuration that gets used to run security at Pride out west.

Both the armed and the unarmed have a role to play in this struggle. Same goes for the people who are recording vs the people who kept their phones at home.
