Oh, Everett, if only more would use their imposing nature for good.

    There's a group of guys near me who all look like bikers, body builders, ex-cons (pretty much just imagine "large and imposing"), some with more ink than a printing press, several with huge beards, and a couple clearly do piercings as part of their job... So basically, about 3/4 look like a stereotypical 80s gang. Not all are large, not all are muscley, not all are men. But they're all intimidating, for sure.

    When called, they gear up in pads, vests and plate carriers, arm themselves (gotta say, I never thought I'd see a Trans flag on an AR-9 but it looked rad AF) , and they escort women to nearby clinics and stand guard outside if anyone if protesting that day.

    Oddly, the MAGAts are a lot quieter when they show up and never get in anyone's faces...

    And everyone stood and applauded.

    Nah, it's a thing. Can't recall the name of the organization, but it's out there

    Are violence and intimidation of others in real life ok with you, if it's people you disagree with?

    No, that's why it's okay to st and up and be a human barrier between the people using violence and intimidation against women trying to receive healthcare.

    You get that's what the point is here, right?

    The people going along as guardians aren't doing the intimidation (and I've never seen any reports of them using violence, only standing up and being present. If there are cases where it has come to co-operative violence, please correct me), it's the people harassing women trying to obtain healthcare that are doing the intimidation. The guardians are providing a service so that intimidation is less successful.
