    I’m not condoning violence nor is this a call to action, god forbid(got banned from reddit for “violence” against AI by the modbot lmao), but it’d be a darn shame- a tragedy rather- if someone stood up to ICE with the same force they’ve been using.

    This is why the 2nd amendment exists. This right here. I bet most those plate carriers aren’t even stuffed with plates with all the new agents wearing them because there’d be a shortage. Either way, we outnumber all those agents, and all it takes is meeting force with force! I’m also pretty sure all video evidence would be quickly deleted by bystanders lol.

    Again, a real shame… But it’s coming sooner rather than later.

      I feel like the administration has been trying to provoke violent retaliation against ICE and keep being disappointed that the only deaths are from the other side.

      I hear people say that’s what ICE and Trump want to happen, so they can ramp up the violence even further.

      I think Americans should sabotage ICE. They’re apparently hiring anyone with a pulse, so why not apply and be an absolutely useless agent? Waste their fucking budget, guys. But I’m commenting from the safety of not-USA so grain of salt and all that.

      People who encourage others to use the 2nd Amendment as the first and only form of resistance -and it’s the only suggestion they offer are sus as hell. So far, solidarity in communication, monitoring, coordination, protests, ostracizing ICE agents from businesses and friends/family, general strike threats, etc have stopped several of their attempted kidnappings. That’s our true power: strength in numbers. An honest person would say 2nd Amendment rights are just one of the tools we have available…

        I never said first, nor only… Just pointing out that we outnumber them, we have the ability to meet force with force, and they’d quickly be discouraged from wanting to go back to work for fear of violence against them.

        They need to know we’re not weak, and that is why I think, that they think they can do what they want and get away with it. They’re the wasps and we’re the bees. They’re only going to get away if so much until we have no other choice!

          Nope. They’d go in harder and faster and likely shoot first.

          A flash-bang can really spruce up a room.
