When you go to a Van Jones “event”, you must remember to wear either a hammer and sickle armband or an SEIU T-shirt. It’s the only protection you’ll have.
I can think of and own several other forms of “protection” which I would definitely bring along to such an event. Dogs have teeth, cats have claws, and eagles have talons. None of them are much into relying on camouflage, and neither am I.
