    I hope the drummer has every document and ethnicity read to not be detained and deported to a prison on the spot.

    They kill peoppe, so you slightly annoy them and make them more tired/prone to outbursts. Winning strategy.

      You also make it costly to the hotels as the non-ICE patrons find somewhere to sleep that isn’t hosting ICE agents and having noise demos as a result.

      Make their jobs hell and fewer people will want to do it, duh.

      Wtf is this bullshit, like should we show up with a fresh cup of coffee and donuts for the ICE agents so they don’t “make a mistake?” We want them to be stressed out, tired, prone to mistakes and outbursts. They kill us when they’re calm and well-rested too.

      Banging your drums all night outside an enemy encampment has been a tried and true strategy for thousands of years.

        Cymbals were originally designed as a weapon of war. Imagine hearing an army coming, but the drums are pierced by the sound of a 30 inch crash being absolutely hammered

      Sleep deprivation is serious business. This guy is easily doing more direct action than 99% of the protestors (no hate on them).

      What alternative strategies are you suggesting? Picking up a gun and forming a militia? Or waiting for the mid-terms vote ICE agents out of office?

      I canceled my Hilton Honors account.

      Fuck they were SO GOOD for pet friendly travel.

      But wherever there was a Hilton Garden Inn there’s USUALLY a Hyatt Place too, and they are also pretty reliably pet friendly. Not owned by the same people either, I checked.

      Until I discover what they’ve done wrong as I’m sure its something.

      Honestly that’s not a bad idea, but take it a bit further. Publicly list ANY business that is found to provide services to ice. They stay at Hilton, add Hilton to the list, they eat at Denny’s, add Denny’s to the list, ect.

      As much as it is about raising ice agents’ blood pressure, it’s also about disrupting business for the hotels that quarter them. They can do that from any side of the building.

        Make every other guest complain, check out, commit to never staying in a Hilton again, etc. Make Hilton pay a price for supporting MAGA.

        And if I work there, I’m spitting in their drinks, pissing in their soup, using ground beef that was left out all night, leaving a hot dog under the bed to spoil, not changing their towels, etc. Whatever I can think of to make their stay unsatisfying.

      This is a better answer, or even just so you can make a getaway.
      I dont think most regular people would realise how much drum gear is but cymbals are worth like (USD)$350-550 each, and cymbal stands, thrones and other brackets/hardware can be $50+ each, kick pedals can easily be in the thousands and not to mention the drums themselves.
      A dick with a raging hard-on for violence and low emotional IQ (aka the target audeince for this performance) could easily come ruin your day.

        You’re describing top-of-the-line gear. I’m a guitarist, and I’m not showing up with my best axe. I’m going to use that old beater that I don’t mind using as a weapon if necessary. We aren’t look for a nuanced, insightful performance here, just loud and obnoxious, and you can easily do that with a shitty instrument.

    I truly hope they could not pay the drums well. I want fucking amateur hour on the drums. That shit will make anyone go insane.

      Impromptu concerts are a classic form of protest. It doesn’t even need to be bad music. It’s about showing support.

        for anyone interested in picking a lane:

        • rap: here, specifically, is how america is fucked
        • punk: I’M MAD AS HELL AND I’M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
        • funk: they want to see us sad, but i refuse to be
        • bluegrass:

        in 1872 my pappy was born on the coal fields of eastern kentucky. his mother loved him even though he didn’t look a thing like his daddy. his daddy loved him too. he looked just like the mine boss. you see back then the only way to make ends meet was for the woman of the family to supplement the income of her husband with sex work. but they loved him for being their son regardless of what he looked like. but i swear to fucking god, if i ever meet that sumbitch James Donald Bowman i’m going to break this goddamn banjo over his fucking head for reperpetuating my suffering by pretending to speak for me. because i love jesus, and that’s what jesus would have done. he whipped bankers, afterall

      Most drummers are single. They aren’t great conversationalists on account of being deaf, and kind of dumb, too.

      Just kidding, drummers are cool. I wanted to be a drummer, but the parents were a hard NO.

    Put the biggest subwoofer you can find in the sewer. Find where it resonates for that house.
