I found this PDF at Big Whack Attack and felt it needed to be spread around...
Protecting Pride Events from Armed Extremist Activity
It's not a long read and has many links and references. Here are some excerpts...
Private paramilitary groups have no authority to detain, attack, or attempt to police drag performers or gender-nonconforming persons at Pride events.
What types of activities by armed extremists are considered unlawful?
State and federal laws prohibit violence against Pride participants. But state laws also prohibit private paramilitary activity, even where it does not involve physical violence against a targeted person or persons. All 50 states prohibit private, unauthorized militias from engaging in activities reserved for the official state militia (for example, the National Guard), including law enforcement activities. Nearly every state constitution prohibits groups functioning as military units from operating outside the authority of the state government. Dozens of state statutes prohibit groups of people from organizing as private military units without governmental authorization; dozens of state statutes criminalize paramilitary activity; and many states prohibit the false assumption of law enforcement duties and/or the wearing of uniforms confusingly similar to military uniforms.10 State-specific fact sheets from ICAP are available here for further reference.
This means that armed groups that self-deploy to Pride events and stake out tactical positions, operate in military-style formations, or purport to engage in law enforcement functions like policing, patrolling crowds, or protecting property, are likely in violation of state law. Armed extremists who attempt to intimidate others or perform law enforcement functions may also be violating state laws.

If you are an organizer or a participant, these are good things to know! STAY SAFE!

Mama Dog Who Escaped House Fire Has Sweetest Reaction To Seeing Her Babies Again
Recently, a house in Southern California caught fire. The homeowners fled immediately, leaving a mama dog named Bailey, her new litter of puppies and a male dog behind.
Neighbors rushed in as the house filled with smoke to rescue the tiny family, but Bailey’s nerves and survival instincts caused her to bolt. The scared pup ran as quickly and as far away as she could from everyone she loved.
The neighbors then split their efforts between finding Bailey and rescuing her babies. Luckily, they were able to remove the puppies and their dad safely from the house, but Bailey was nowhere to be found.
Why is it that neighbors had time to go in and save the dogs, but the owners were chicken-shits and just left the dogs behind??
Notice how the pup behind mom in the top image looks like dad in the lower image.
