Got to love American's ingenuity when combined with having enough wealth to have lawn gear they can use to shut down Trump's goons from gassing our citizens peacefully protesting.
I love these people. They are working on urban protest tactics and you can be sure that what they learn spreads to other cities. A leaf blower is mad creative.
Some of the other tactics:
Use high school newspapers to communicate what's happening. Twitter feeds especially
Umbrellas to shield from pepper spray
Aluminum foil on cardboard disks to shine spotlights back at the goons
Milkshaking -- vegan milkshakes poured onto cops and proud boys. They hate it. They even created a fake news story saying it was quick setting concrete lulz.
I've attended counter demonstrations every year but I can't go this year. The virus is too dangerous to my mother and mother in law. I just can't take the risk of getting it. My wife and I are primary care givers. I do what I can remotely though.
