I know people who could help you & the community. They're not cops & will do a lot better job at protecting your event. The key here is that the people I know are actually in the queer community or are allies willing to defend these events with their life. Cops are not that.
Mostly out of state from reports. Also reported they were made fun of and laughed at until they ran back to their vehicles. Then cried when people followed.
VIDEO THREAD: In what appears to be their biggest showing of force in three years, Proud Boys gathered today outside the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus for a rally commemorating Ashli Babbitt and January 6 prisoners on the anniversary of the riot at the US Capitol.
The right is scared of leftists, LGBTQIA+, and marginalized communities being armed. They want to live out their power fantasies against victims who can't defend themselves.
Well, Central Ohio SRA does not do armed actions, so.....
But we would love to help train the community in self-defense and community defense.
Not liking guns is fine, but people should be armed against fascist threats.
There's a Socialist Rifle Association -- Central Ohio Chapter. We hate guns, period. Leave your guns at home locked safely away. Don't turn Columbus into a reverse Kent State!
We have so many incredibly talented comrades in Central Ohio SRA. Here is some art from one of our members.

The Open Collective for East Palestine received a large donation! Helping us continue to support East Palestine & provide them with much need water, cleaning & testing supplies, & anything else they may need. We will continue to be there for Ohioans and the working class.
@IwriteOK
They were out numbered from reports and cried when they left after 45 mins of just being made fun of. Also they cried when people started following them to their cars.
Free Speech ❌, anti-genocide❌, freedom for the people of Palestine❌, outlawing speech that is critical of Israel ✅.
Anyone convinced this is a good thing is not to be trusted.
Get armed and get organized always. We protect us! What happened at UCLA last night will happen again. Zionist only know violence. But they sure as hell will be less likely to commit violence against you or your community if you are armed and organized.
I'm on my acceleration acceptance arc. It's not what I personally want, but I strongly suspect it's what I'm going to get regardless.
If you can, you should make sure you're armed for self-defense and you should train to ensure practical skills.

Logo update:
As our chapter grows, it has dawned on us that we needed to put our own special Central Ohio twist on the default SRA logo and adopt our own. 🧵
Today was a very good unofficial Central Ohio SRA range day. Around 20 comrades came out, and everyone improved their skills. It's great having a group that is not judgemental of skill level. We're all there to get better and help each other. We Keep Us Safe.
monetary and material donations for affected residents. Monetary donations can be made via our Open Collective at . Material donations of bottled water, home water filters, masks and more will be collected at designated drop-off locations across the state
It sucks defending groups you respect when far right assholes claim those groups want to disarm people, then seeing that those groups want to disarm people. We've seen the results when gun rights are reserved for one group of people and we're just not cool with that.
around East Palestine, Ohio.
Politicians are not caring for their constituents, and they're not being truthful. Instead, they're beholden to the corporations that finance their campaigns and the lies that protect them. They caused this.
Beginning today, we are collecting
This is just telegraphing where the right wants to go. They say they are against gun control until marginalized groups get armed. To all in the queer community, we are here to help. We can help train, provide community, and defend your rights to self-defense/community defense.

Funny, because we accomplished what we wanted, and all you managed to do was create enemies and stupid with your little feminine soylant grin.
Following recent events, our Executive Board has unanimously voted to bar a student from attending. The student in question is not a dues-paying nor active member. The actions exhibited and associations fostered by this student were unbeknownst to organizational leadership. (1/2)
The amount of males at Ohio State wearing earrings, dying their hair, and dressing like women are frightening. The feminization of men in our society will lead to our downfall. A society can’t survive with earring wearing beta males. Testosterone levels are at all time lows. We
Under capitalism encampments are seen as violence because under capitalism property is more valuable than human life or humanity. If you cannot feed the machine with your labor you are deemed worthless. They give you scapes and wait for you to die. 1/?
We’ve witnessed an Orwellian effort to describe peaceful encampments as somehow inherently violent. Now we see actual violence and it’s committed by fascist/Zionist thugs against those same peaceful anti-genocide protesters. Where are the officials condemnations?
Donation drop-offs this week! There are 4 opportunities to donate supplies to the people of East Palestine. Starting Thursday and going through the weekend. Please be sure to check the graphics to get the correct information for each drop-off location.
Days after OSU campus protest arrests, President Ted Carter releases a statement justifying the police action as necessary to enforce space rules. “I have stated since the first day I was announced as president that safety will not be compromised.”
@nbc4i
“When the police, your government, and your campus is actively funneling resources into perpetuating a genocide, and stands to profit from its continuance, it’s very important that you follow all the rules and protest exactly as they want you to in order to stop it”
Honestly, just block people like this. They are wasting your time. They are just a waste and have nothing to truly offer. We are on here to help our community not talk to the Markus Vanblunt's of Twitter.
@7DeadlyFetishes
I agree with you. There are talks being had. Us in COSRA are not very happy at the moment as well. Along with every other chapter. We are only affiliated through SRA nationally. I don't know a single person over there.
Confirms the university lied they had the rifles already up there. Even more concerning is deploying the rifles on roof tops after sun down and arrest began. That is not a safety measure for students it is a direct threat to the student body.

Question: What happens when people who protest to put an end to genocide are labeled outlaws because of their speech, threaten with the highest level of judicial punishment, and left with no means to stop what is happening?
In response to a Fox News question about campus protests, the White House spokeswomen said the Department of Justice, Homeland Security and the Department of Education will be involved. This means the Biden administration may be pursuing federal charges against student protestors
It's not surprising at all. If y'all could get your heads out of the 2 party system's ass you would know these protesters and the left have never liked the dems or genocide Joe. There are more political options than the terrible ones we have in the US.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s January 6th comments at last night’s New York Young Republican Club Gala:
“I got to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, it would’ve been armed.”
I can tell you the people defending the LGBTQ+ community from fascist are not LARPers. Those guns are very real and those people have definitely trained with them. It is called community defense.
The only time Democrats “support” the 2A is when armed Antifa larpers want to defend perverts at drag queen story time or when leftist Hollywood celebs and politicians are protected by armed bodyguards.

Fun fact: kids baseball helmet guy was made fun of so much he shut the hell up for the rest of the 30 minutes they were there. He had nothing to say, just holding back tears.
2) Counter-protesters, some carrying rifles, opposed the Proud Boys who yelled "fuck Antifa!" at them.
Proud Boys and their allies also carried handguns and pepper spray.
Police stood between the two sides, ultimately preventing physical conflict as they yelled back and forth.
Oh no think of the building, the furniture, the glass. 😱
Fuck off, people are being murdered in mass and you care more about inanimate objects.
People like this are so unserious about everything. Capitalism has eroded any empathy they might have had.

For peaceful protests, no. For seizing a campus building and damaging furniture and glass, yes. It's seems like a hollow act of civil disobedience if there is no consequence.
If you take issue with something this page post, please tell us and be honest. We're grown adults.
Also, if you think all this organization does is tweets, then maybe you should join and see. We have plenty of work to be done in central Ohio. We could use some more hands.

She has made it very clear that she does not want our help. I'm simply letting her know that there are people in the community that provide what the cops can't. All she would need to do is DM us and we could start working together. We are on social media for a reason.
A 🧵 about the death of Frank E. Tyson in Canton, Ohio.
He died after prone restraint applied by arresting officers on April 18.
We’ve spent years investigating this.
I’d like to highlight a few key moments.

Online purity testers will challenge you to prove you’re a real activist. This is bait for fedposting. Do not discuss what you do outside in order to appease random clowns on the internet.
Biden and Trump are a threat. The system has given zero choice in the matter. Don't want genocide too fucking bad I guess. Voting for Biden is not magically going to fix this because, guess what? He is already in office! The system cannot be reformed.
It's probably best not to engage with dead-enders who'd rather watch society burn than be adults & vote for Biden, or at least try to persuade rather than scold. But it's so damn frustrating they haven't already figured out at this late date that Trump is an existential threat.
But people have the right to genocide others and steal their land? Get fucked bozo. This shit is getting very old. Y'all have no morals, you evil fucks.
He locked his keys in his own car. He was trying to get it unlocked with a coathanger.
Police ignored everyone on the scene and went straight to escilation.

Are you kidding me.

@Juicewag
submitted a records request earlier today to shed more light on how this debacle came to pass.
I will be sure to own as many weapons as possible. I will train as many leftists, LGBTQIA+, and marginalized communities as I possibly can just because you said this.
Opinions are my own and only one of the many here in the COSRA.
Root beer (the best pop flavor), mint chocolate chip ice cream (the best ice cream flavor), and bananas are great on the range and at home snacks.
When times get rough we put aside our petty squabbles about root beer, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and bananas and we UNITE. Long live anarchist twitter!

This organization trains and provides a safe place for leftist gun owners. We don't go to actions as Central Ohio SRA because that is not what SRA does, but I know lots of groups that do go to actions and provide security for these events. That is what I'm message her for.
