I ask about harassment of Juniper. They deny it, which tracks with the story I was told (they came when called but did not participate) They ask about my nationality, I tell them, then he gets to do a gotcha: he's also from the middle east. Look at how racist they aren'tpic.twitter.com/Fp6hz4qEIA

This is an old trick. When you respond to the dog whistle, they get to prove you wrong It's disorienting. A better response would be, why do you ask? "Why do you assume I think you're racist?" would have been a better response to the "I have non-white friends" bit

A brief moment of competency in which I point out the dichotomy between the way he's acting today and the way he acted last weekend "Things got a little heated" he admits Which makes it fine, obviously. Totally okpic.twitter.com/rKkPN7iUbS

I also get heated and it results in a tactical error: I advance on one of them to demonstrate how Mr. "Fucking cunt" over there advanced on me They, of course, take this as proof that I'm not intimidated We'll talk about that in a second, but it is a bad tactical choicepic.twitter.com/kWnRQnoZBn

A better choice, at this point, would have been to either go silent or leave. I got decent footage and I could feel myself getting angry If you go silent, they fill the space with words and sometimes those words are incredible If you leave, the party's over I did neither thing

I did at least ask about he magazine in the gentleman's weapon. He refused to give me a straight answer, unsurprisingly I should bring my own AR to a protest sometime with a magazine in and see if the police are as cavalier about it as they are with this guypic.twitter.com/wFJeNkw68g

I'm going to spare you the rest of the clip. It's mostly a woman telling me I'm not intimidated by men with guns That I'm lying, since I don't act intimidated This gets under my skin, we have words. Maybe it's dishonest not to show you, but it's not newsworthy either

Gonna conclude with a link to another thread about how yeah, actually, I feel feelings like fear when talking to people who hate me while they're holding weapons that could kill mehttps://twitter.com/1misanthrophile/status/1318012131195768832?s=19 …

Laura Jedeed (Misanthrophile) @1misanthrophileI'm about to break the first rule of covering the far right. I'm gonna admit I'm upset about something For a week now, people have laughed and told me I'm clearly not intimidated by men with guns threatening me because I don't "act intimidated" There's some baggage there for meShow this thread2 replies 6 retweets 91 likesShow this thread -
