I wonder what ratio of protesters + guns is enough to deter ICE.
Like if there was only 1 person there with a semi automatic shotgun, how much more likely are they to attempt something illegal than if there was 20.
If that ratio could be figured out, then it'd be easier to coordinate and ensure enough armed people are everywhere.
