And this is how the presence of guns at the protest was largely framed in these meetings and chats.

It does not look good in writing in a court case, though.

Yeah, and this is what the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club had done, like sweep defenses and stuff where they'd shown up armed.

That incident was brought up.

Yeah, that was specifically referenced.

It had, in fact, worked that way, more or less.

I mean, there's a number of things to drill into here, but one of the issues is just, while that's a thing people have used firearms for and have done so in a way that worked in the past, obviously, which is what they were referencing, the problem is that you can't ever lose sight of the fact that a

A gun is a gun, and if you're bringing a gun into a situation... There's potential for that gun to be used.

There's potential for that gun to be used.

And if you're bringing that gun into a situation around a police station, the odds that you will use that gun in a way that is not going to cause a life-ruining legal nightmare for you and everyone else are a lot lower.

Also at this gear check on the 3rd, Song proposed to free detainees using quote-unquote suppressive fire.

Oh my god.

This idea was shut down by other attendees, according to Susan Kent, who testified after entering a guilty plea.

Kent testified that after looking over photos of the facility, Song said, quote, this is as easy as it's going to get.

We can take the place and free the people inside, unquote, using quote-unquote suppressive fire.

This idea was met with quote-unquote general disagreement, according to Kent.

Yeah, of course.

Also saying that it was not seriously planned for or discussed.

The support committee writes that Kent also testified that the group, quote, discussed stealing U-Hauls to move free detainees, but this did not have popular support.
