    This event would have faired a lot better if it had any sort of actual organization and a core team of organizers to answer questions and provide solid information. All of my friends who would have been interested in an event like this decided to avoid it because there just wasn’t enough information for it to not seem “sketchy,” and something so poorly organized was likely to only draw small groups of supporters, thus reducing the “safety in numbers” that protesters would greatly benefit from against a crowd of fascist police and anti-protesters.

      Which upcoming protests would your friends recommend going to instead?

      What might happen to someone who attended a “sketchy” protest, that wouldn’t happen to someone who attended a normal one?
