If everybody at ICE protests showed up with masks and a gun would there be more or less violence? (lemmy.world)

Would protestors be safer? Thousands of masked people with guns. Chaos?

I can’t help but think that the only solution to ICE is a “well regulated militia” in combination with political reform, with both being necessary.

I know that juggalo and dazzle paint is an antiquated ai countermeasure. I would be surprised if drag makeup still works but with the extreme contouring it might. Lots of facial rec is run through IR now though, so it basically negates that.
