Is the person in the rainbow mask a leftist? Has this turned into something like the Iranian revolution where the right wing was joined by some leftists?
Ah yes, the proud Patriots protecting you from... your Doordash delivery. Such bravery!
This makes my blood boil. While I appreciate the resistance the filmers showed, their response could have been better.
First and foremost, they should have dialed 9-1-1. “There is a group of masked and armed men assaulting and kindnapping a man off the street! They are trying to pull him into a black sedan with tinted windows! Send police now!”
After that, let them know in no uncertain terms that fascist pieces of shit are not welcome here. Call them out on their un-American actions
Hey USA. How's that 2nd Amendment working for you?
I'm glad you asked. We're seriously thinking about arming the children. Only semi auto for the kids though and teachers get full auto. Cops will just carry grenade launchers and rockets now, for their safety. That should finally take care of the school shooting problem. We tried arming the cops and putting them in schools, but that just created a soiled underpants problem and didnt save any kids at all.
I'm still waiting for the trial, where I've agents were gunned down for self defense.
and there will be a trial regarding the right to defend yourself from masked unidentified gangs kidnapping people.
if the decision goes against fascist ideals, then the Supreme court will intervene. and the 2A nuts will suck fash cock and celebrate that it's bad to raise against a tryranic government.
"🎶Land of the free, home of the brave🎵"
Feeling brave and free enough to stop a rapist, racist, paedo nazi from overtaking your country yet?
Or are you going to carry on waiting for someone else to do something?
I love these posts because they never say exactly how to fix the situation.
Dude, if you could give me a step by step way to actually do it, I'd do it. I think we all would. You wanna sound all big and bad, but if you were over here, you'd be just as useless as the rest of us.
Thats a fair point.
If I were in America I wouldn't be taking up arms.
I think i would be joining protests at work opportunity, to the point where it would have an impact on my employment and home life.
I acknowledge that loads of you are already doing that. Commenters like yourself probably are, but the vast majority of Americans are not.
Regardless, I sometimes make comments similar to the one you're replying to. I think some of it comes from decades of being told that America somehow has the best kind of freedom and personal liberty. Again, I acknowledge its the right usually making those claims.
“ICE is a terrorist organization,” Ramirez told me. “It needs to be defunded and needs to be abolished.”
It's agents also need to be arrested, and put on a trial.
These guys are total pussies. Either shoot them or unmask them. They are already on camera so swarm them and pull down a few masks. Once you ID a few of them publicly, the rest will drop like flies.
And lose your jobs, your homes, and your freedom in the process as you get prosecuted for assaulting federal agents where the authorities have an incentive to make an example out of you to deter future incidents.
I'm not expecting the world to change from holding hands and singing hymns, but insulting people (who already started confronting them instead of just pretending not to see) for not sacrificing more than I'd have to seems rather narrow-minded to me.
You’re going to lose all those things anyway.
If this continues unopposed, yes, but asking individuals in specific situations to sacrifice their own lives without an organized community does not sound reasonable to me.
No one wants to shoot anyone. We're not murderers. So here we are, needing to think of some other way, and no one has ideas.
Healthy people don’t WANT to murder people. But we are being backed into a corner. Are you willing to die for decorum or fight?
Bigotry and lack of decency ruined the country but it was already ruined it was built on blood repe and kidnapping and forced labor
This country is going to need a new level of cult deprogramming to get anywhere. I won't see it in my lifetime.
Maybe this time we hang all of the confederates and not let any live so this shit doesnt happen again?
Agreed. As seen with my nation and Germany, the Confederates and Nazis went on to raise Klanners and Stormfronters. ICE should be trialed and executed as a class, else they will escape the justice that they deserve. It isn't kind, but necessary.
They chose to embrace evil, and should die because of the sins they have earned.
Apparently, the Nuremberg trials executed less than 210 Nazis. Considering how many Jews and other peoples have been slaughtered, that is a bullshit result. Trial by individual isn't sufficient for institutionalized war crimes.
Deport them to an island not that high above sea level.
Juvenile. Pissed off that someone might hold them accountable. Not much these people hate more than oversight and someone getting in the way of their violence.
ICE is becoming a paramilitary organization, Trump's personal army. It isn't really fulfilling its supposed role for which it was created in the first place.
How dare liberals encourage education and renewable energy! And infrastructure and foreign trade! And civil liberties and reasonable prices!
