Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

If there isn't at least some non-zero amount of tin-snips and turpentine, then the protest is a parade.
Coincidentally, Lowes is having a black friday on tin snips: https://www.lowes.com/pl/hand-tools/cutting-crimping-tools/tin-snips/on-sale/4294857583-2
Turpentine I can understand having for various reasons (lighting shit on fire, removing paint/ink/pepperspray), but what is the need for tin snips? cutting the zip-tie handcuffs used by riot police?
I think they're for performing the vasectomies as alluded to in the second panel. I assumed the turps is for make-shift antiseptic.
"vasectomies"
OP just made it sound like they are needed for any type of protest or demonstration, so I assumed they had use beyond just reproductive rights marches. Plus, turpentine can be used as an antiseptic, but there are lots of less conspicuous antiseptics available.
I like your answer, too, though.
Know how many times you’ll find yourself out and about and suddenly needing to perform an emergency, involuntary vasectomy and then discover you left your tin snips and turpentine at home?
Only once. You only make that mistake once. Keep it in your daily carry.
