I've been peaceful protesting and voting for a quarter century and this is where we are, feels like this shit doesn't work.

These days I legally conceal and carry nearly everywhere, so I probably won't be attending. Putting myself unarmed in that environment doesn't seem like a great idea. I do not want to be the guy who shoots an innocent person.
