- There will be bad actors in the crowds.
Do not assume everyone you see is a patriot, sure as shit, there will be undercover cops, fed, and antifa there looking to cause trouble
- Do not give your name out to random people.
Modern police work is all about snitches. Someone will get shot/stabbed/beat to shit and you do not want anyone to know your name so they can throw the cops a bone when they start rounding up suspects.
- MASKS UP, ALL THE TIME
Covid is whatever, but the cameras are no joke, there are cameras EVERYWHERE, depending on your plans for the rally, keep your mask up. A plain black mask would be best, leave the fancy designs for the goofs. Do not expect to be faceless in a giant crowd, these are very good cameras and there might be satellites in operation as well.
- The Cops are not your friends.
Do not expect the military, police, feds, or any one other than patriots to come to your aid for any reason. Tear gas is extremely harsh for those who have never experienced it. Carry bottled water with baking soda mixed in to help neutralize it.
- Have an emergency meeting place with your travel companions.
If shit goes sideways, make sure you and your people have an agreed upon place to meet back up, that way, you can always know if one of your folks is in trouble somehow.
- Standard travel rules apply
Be mindful of Drunks, pick pockets and people just wanting to cause trouble instead of being focused on the task at hand.
I work with LE and know their undercover/intel tactics. Look out for friendly athletic younger guys often in hats and athletic gear. They will be asking questions like “Where are you from? Where are you staying?” Stuff like that.
