    A gallows has serious racial overtones that will hurt us very badly.

    Nothing says lynching more than a noose

    Bad idea IMO
    I am long done with having a fear of being called a "racist"
    Hanging was the form of execution for hundreds of years,, especially for tyrants.
    If someone wants to make that "racist",, that is THEIR problem, not mine.

    "lynching" is being hung by a mob without judicial process,, a separate issue.
    (side note: many whites were lynched, by some counts as many as blacks)

    PP leadership needs to be more aware of group perception than one indidividual.

    A accusation of a organization being racist is a stink that is harder to wash off than a single accusation.

    We have to work at not being viewed as old fat white guys in flannel shirts without having the word racist tacked on to that

    So a bad idea still IMO.

    But as mentioned, it can be kept in our quiver

    YMMV

    Understood, The Group does not need/want attention not inline with their ideals/goals/way of doing things.

    I am probably more fed up with politicians than most,, and my G.A.F. got up and left when the last of the kids flew the nest.
    But what really changed me ?? A few years ago I took 2 days off work, waited ALL day to testify,, and when I finally get up to testify 1/2 the maggots got up or are playing on their phones.

    It becomes YOUR problem when the Crazy Cat Lady Red Flags you for being a "Domestic Terrorist" and you get unexpected visitors at 3 a.m. because you and your noose were on the NBC Nightly News. You can expect DC and Baltimore coverage. Maybe national, depending on the news cycle.

    My father gave me bad advice 30+ years ago when I started my business and started becoming politically active,, He told me to work hard and "fly under the radar"

    My days of living in fear are long behind me.
    So I shouldn't make a strong (or ANY) statement because I am afraid of a cat lady?
    Is there a law against a mock gallows?

    No law against a gallows depiction, though there's good arguments against; for example, the opinion of the group that you wish to support by your presence.

    Aside from that, it occurs to me that guillotine would be far more representative of a wish to rid oneself of an oppressive self-determined aristocracy.

    Only successful protesting ive seen is blm type.

    If it were about crime you could put this on one of your signs.

    View attachment 398067

    But we know it’s nothing to do with crime. Just as obamacare had nothing to do with providing more healthcare. And universal background checks has nothing to do with safety. Maybe safety for tyrants.
    In the JPR Balti.ore crime hearing they kept referring to "a certain demographic," not wanting to say the quiet part out loud.

    Oh I guarantee the piles of money I’ve sent to goa SAF MSI , and nra have done more than being laughed at by the election stealing politicians.
    Those of us that have put in the time, have done more than your money. Putting the time in has defeated more bills in the MGA, thus permitting MSI, SAF, etc. to use their limited funds on less lawsuit.

    Tell me again how we aren't as effective as your money?

    Any guesses on who this banned member was, would the skipperkey come to mind. Or it is a sockpuppet.
    Nah, not Skipperkey, he at least showed up in Annapolis and on the bricks a couple of times.
