He never said they aren't going to kill anyone.
He said they aren't going to kill many.
Which is true, up until a bunch of people pull guns, and then they'll kill everyone.
What’s the acceptable number of dead people before also showing you’re armed is acceptable? Is it 5? 10? Maybe 1000?
If you pull up with guns they may kill you, but you have a better fighting chance than not. Plus if you were already going to die, since you’re so kind to sacrifice some people, wouldn’t you rather take some of them with you?
You’re playing by a made up set of rules where you think you being more moral than them makes you superior but it makes you dead and a loser.
There is no acceptable amount of civilian murders. The Fascists know this, and so they want an excuse to justify it. Bringing guns to protests gives them an excuse. It also makes the armed protestors the first targets of the thug forces, and triggers the cops’ shitty ingrained fear of everyone trying to kill them—that the fucking “training” they get—fills them with.
