Throwing rocks at men in armor with guns hardly seems a fair fight. But it's the same thing as Gaza "they were threatening me with rocks, I had to kill them to protect myself"

Condemn them? I'm cheering for them.

Those who attack should know there will be entirely justifiable resistance at the same level.

As a woman, if an unidentified masked man tried to grab me, I would defend myself with what ever is available to use. And hopefully those good people around me will help.

Ask people who condemn the resistors if they would also condemn those who resisted the brown shirts in 1930s Germany.

I accept it JP. I've been writing and warning against it too. Now that it's here and expanding logarithmically every day, I've shared a post about the many ways folks participate in the resistance. I hope you don't mind if I share it here: https://open.substack.com/pub/sarahtowle/p/our-basic-rights-are-under-attack?r=464pd&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

‘You are participating in political crime. I raise no hand against you; but neither will I lift a finger to defend you when lawful order is re-established, and genuine police come for you. I will testify against you in court and demand your prosecution for crimes against the people.’

I won’t say I condone it.

But I won’t say it upsets me either. 😏
