Y'know, just the fact that the federal government has positioned actual fucking snipers on the rooftops of surrounding buildings (presumably without consulting local authorities first, because lol "fuck you Governor") should be a signal to the average protester that things are getting too hot to go play.
It's one thing to have armed cops around (not too impressive to the average libtard), or even a full group of well-equipped federal agents loaded up for a fight. It's an entirely different deal for there to be highly-trained, heavily armed snipers on the rooftops actively monitoring everyone's activities. That goes from "playful larp with a moderate risk of pellet balls to the nuts or an uncomfortable arrest" to "hoping they get that nifty chest sucker bandage slapped on fast enough to save you when you eat one on center-of-mass."
This is ripe for another Rittenhouse incident. I still have the sense that just one death will probably take the wind out of the liberals' sails if it's an obviously clean shoot.
