In an alert sent by one of the groups leading the “lobbying day” effort, supporters were advised to look the other way should counterprotesters challenge them.
“If someone tries to provoke you, smile and walk away. There is probably someone secretly recording the interaction, with the intent of capturing some kind of inappropriate reaction on your part. Don't take the bait. It's not worth the bad press,” said the alert from the Virginia Citizens Defense League, which has conducted annual lobby day events peacefully since 2002.We have to be on our best beavior, folks, we don't want to give the tyrants any excuses. We're using the 1st Amendment on Monday.
I see that the governor has declared a state of emergency. How very prescient for his tyrannical plans.
If you're going to the protest, be on your best behavior. Don't give them any reason to over-react.
