Comment on This whistle fights fascists | How thousands of 3D-printed whistles are derailing ICE.

Of course alarms/monitoring and response (de-escalation) are very important. But stopping it before it starts should get attention as well.

Not everyone can afford big guns and heavy armor; nor have the training/licensing required to cary/display them.
3D printed whistles are a cheap and easy aid. Every bit of resistance helps.

Exactly.
Recommending that random untrained people go around armed is a recipe for disaster (see: ICE’s random untrained people going around armed). It’s irresponsible, at best.
I read these people as if they’re calling for violence but trying to skirt the line in a way that doesn’t get them banned.
