When our "Non Violent" Protests start we need to be more prepared then the idiots running around now.
A few simple everyday items will make your legal protests more enjoyable.
Gather a backpack with these items together before you head out.
# A helmet. You don't want a hit to your head with rubber bullets and rock flying everywhere. Any skate or bike helmet will do fine, you don't need or want to look all military. just blend in.
# A real gas mask. old military ones with working Nato NBC filters can be found at local Army navy stores or online for under 50 bucks. Respirators found at home depot won't filter out the Gas the cops use.
# Goggles. Protect your eyes, One military tactic is the use of high pressure water to control crowds. ski or work goggles are fine.
# Gloves. protect your hands, lots of glass around. they are also needed to throw the Gas Cans back they are shooting at you.
# Wear non identifiable clothing. blue Jeans and blank dark t-shirt. It's easier to get lost back in the crowd if you get the cops attention.
# boots or running sneakers. It's not the time for fucking Crocks when you gotta get away from the tank. Steel toes if you got them are better.
# First Aid supplies. If the shit goes bad, Help your fellow anons out. A Combat Compression Dressing, or Quikclot will stop most bleeding.
# Water/snacks. your going to get thirsty running around all day.
Things not to bring!
LEAVE YOUR FUCKING CELL PHONE AT HOME! you don't need a tracking device with an open mic at the protests. If you really want video to show your friends bring a gopro with a selfie stick to get epic shots of the the crowds.
Good luck everyone and stay safe!
