I'm surprised that there hasn't been any violent response to those individuals. I'm not advocating for violence, but if I were to encounter unidentified vehicles with unknown people attempting to abduct others in broad daylight, which clearly resembles kidnapping, I could foresee a potential escalation in the situation. Did that happen anywhere?

I'm betting that this administration is trying to get it to happen so they can use it as their Reichstag fire

It's why they sent the troops into LA. They want escalations to justify further removing our rights.

I suspect this is also the reasoning behind bombing Iran. Do they get extra powers during a war?
