Do not fight back if attacked! Show the dems you are better than that! You definitely need to show restraint so the dems will change their minds about you!Some advice for Monday, take it or leave it.
Protect yourself! Wear eye protection, crisis actors will be in your face,chanting and screaming at you. Make sure your eye protection can protect you from liquids as they will have bottles of urine, and even battery acid and maybe worse now.
Protect your arms as some of them will have sticks, baseball bats, hammers and screwdrivers. Kids shin guards work well for this. May require some duct tape also. I have seen make shift flamethrowers used.
There will be barricades to funnel you to where they want you to go. The local police will put these in place ahead of time. The state police will be there and the local police will not. You will be arrested if you try to cross over a barricade or move it to avoid conflict. There will be several busses of crisis actors brought in for the party. This is all planned to work against you. They won't afraid to block your path or cut you off from the rest of your friends.
The state police will stage out of sight and will have full riot gear. Juggernaut style, and weaponed to the hilt. One stupid move and the snowball will start.
They have you in a catch 22, if you don't show, you lose, if you do show they will see to it that you do. This is all planned.
Don't take your phone or at least have location turned off, you will be geo mapped as being there.
