John Richardson of No Lawyers – Only Guns and Money has a post about:
a peaceful demonstration in Raleigh on Saturday starting at 10am outside the Wake County Department of Public Safety.
I won’t be attending but if you live in the area please consider contributing your time.
Update: From the comments…
It’s been cancelled because of civil unrest coupled with the NC law against being armed at a protest. We can’t defend ourselves against the mob if they show up on the first Saturday after the Breonna Taylor grand jury report.

Thanks Sean.
Are there plans to bring a Federal civil rights infringement lawsuit against that law requiring peaceful protesters to be disarmed victims?
Seems to me that denying the right to bear arms at a rally places a “chilling effect” on the First Amendment right to peacefully assemble and express your opinion. Particularly when it’s known that Antifa and BLM will be disruptive and potentially threatening to those gathering.
Yup.
Particularly when it is a heckler’s veto stopping the demonstration and the police appear to have been ordered to avoid contact with the hecklers. .
I wonder if southerners during military reconstruction were caught in a similar catch-22.
Probably, but they ignored it. One of the key strategic decisions of the first KKK was to avoid taking on the army and focus on terrorizing freedmen and carpetbaggers.
