      The frog suits were about making it hard for fox news types to show a load of black bloc guys shouting and looking scary to justify greater police violence. It’s much more difficult to get even incredibly stupid people to look at an inflatable unicorn and think scary monster than a masked man in all black.

        So wear khaki chinos and navy polos, white sneakers. Cops will be confused af and wonder if they’re counters.

          Then they might look like the tiki torch guys, though. That scares a different set of people. Inflatables are mostly too ridiculous to scare anyone.

      Wait a second. My point was only the TS` points were wrong at least for the “protests in Russia” simply because the photo are 9th May pride and the state backed action. You can check it by yourself by finding original pictures and checking the background story.

        I was living in Russia this time and I recognized the photo. And because I as a local have a context, I left a comment that the second photo in a row is misleading.
