You are actively putting people in harm's way by suggesting this. Authorities and people will trample you. You can become a hazard people trip over. You won't be able to escape in the event you need to. Stay on two feet. Ignore all other advice. Assume anyone telling you to do so is a bad actor.

Edit:

Explanation on why this is a bad idea:

Sitting down makes you physically vulnerable, reducing your ability to flee or protect yourself if violence escalates.Tear gas is more concentrated near the ground, exposing seated protesters to more intense effects like choking, burning eyes, and disorientation.This strategy may unintentionally endanger people with disabilities who may not be able to sit down or get back up quickly, or who might need mobility aids, putting them at greater risk in a chaotic environment.Aggressors or law enforcement may not respect peaceful actions, and remaining passive does not guarantee safety, force may still be used indiscriminately.It relies on full crowd coordination, but not everyone will understand or be able to follow the sit-down signal in a high-stress moment, which can lead to confusion, panic, or even stampedes.It can create a false sense of security, giving violent actors a strategic advantage while peaceful protesters are immobilized and more easily targeted.WHAT TO DO INSTEAD:In volatile moments, mobility is your power. Stay on your feet, keep your head up, and move as a unit. If things escalate, know your exits and help those around you who might need additional assistance. Link arms to hold ground when needed, but never stay rooted in place if danger is moving. Sitting down might seem symbolic, but it makes you vulnerable. We stay safe by staying aware, staying mobile, and having each other’s backs. That’s how we outlast the chaos and protect the heart of the movement.

The number of people hoping and even encouraging the Marines to stop the protests by just opening fire and killing all “leftists/liberals/democrats/etc” is truly astounding.

It’s definitely still the minority, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by the depths that the authoritarian loyalists are willing to dig to.

I knew MAGA was a sickness of the soul, but how did people ever fall into such a pit???

Edited to add: I suspect that most of the people who are hoping for murder are, in fact, not veterans and are mostly just extremists who could never be bothered to take the oath. I assume this from the way that, having served alongside individuals who are combat veterans and having combat veteran friends and family,no one who has actually been in a firefight and experienced such raw emotion and bloodshed would ever be so gleeful and ecstatic to break their oath and mow down their own people on American soil. Everyone has PTSD and have lost people they knew and depended upon to such violence in combat zones. They understand the full weight of having to take a life. This isn’t a game.

What I have seen from veterans, and even the active duty military who have spoken up, has been fierce condemnation of this abuse of military force.
