I have no idea how not a single ICE agent has been killed yet?
Apparently the good guy with a gun is a myth.
Because they don't try this shit with people who look like they can hit back, most of those have real arrest warrants on them so they can leave that for local and state cops to deal with and just focus on ambushing students and day laborers and people with small children

I am low key shocked that some group of vigilantes hasn’t straight up ambushed a pack of ICEheads yet.
Suspects in Texas ICE shooting tied to trans, anti-fascist activism
Damn... I hope there are more people like this, and that there's a good reason why we never hear about them.
Link to get around paywall.
That didn't work for me. Still cuts off after one paragraph.
Here's an article I found from a local affiliate: https://www.fox4news.com/news/texas-ice-detention-center-attack-alvarado
It always has been.
Sadly, I don't think that will happen on any scale as long at the main targets are brown.
And undocumented, which makes it not feasible to own a gun if they wanted to.
Because they are well armed. Attacking them would be a suicide mission and people are not suicidal.

Most people*
It's possible they have, and those incidents get suppressed for fear of encouraging imitators - similar to Luigi Mangione.
News sites want you scared, but not angry.
That's a poor strategy and most people understand that on some level. Either because of the civil rights movement and understanding the value of the moral high ground or because people understand they want violence to declare martial law. That just isn't the play.
Also Luigi isn't a myth.
I won't comment on whether political violence is the right thing to do, but if you think the civil rights movement was peaceful you've been taught some disgustingly whitewashed history. Ever heard of the Black Panthers? They got in firefights with the police all the time, even though many would later pretend that MLK was the only and unanimous voice for all of America's oppressed.
Also the whole Civil Rights movement can be traced to the Civil War, instigated in part by people like John Brown whose whole thing was massacring slavers in the name of God.
This rewriting of history of America as a nation of peaceful citizens who got their Rights by Asking Nicely fucking pisses me off.
And MLK himself is extremely whitewashed. His focus on economic justice and anti-imperialism are typically left out of the stories told about him in media. As well as the fact that he was broadly unpopular with Americans in his time.
Also the fact that he credited the Black Panthers with allowing him to be able to do what he was doing by protecting the protesters from retribution, and saying that the only reason that they weren't doing anything more was because what they were doing already was illegal and anything more would risk actual jail time.
There's also the armed nonviolent wing that gets left out, like the Deacons and the various unaffiliated armed people who literally did have to be ready to kill in order to defend some of the nonviolent protestors - one SNCC person in an interview mentioned they and a few friends were staying at an old black woman's home after a march in Alabama, and she had half of the local black community entrenched, quite literally, with their guns in her front yard all night, because the police had shown up with what amounted to a lynch mob for the protestors.
I also think a lot of people confuse moral nonviolence with strategic nonviolence or pacifism. You can be nonviolent and still be absolutely armed, trained, and ready to do violence if needed.
There's a fantastic book, This Nonviolent Stuff Will Get You Killed, that really hits the lost portions of the civil rights movement, including the armed wing of the movement.
The reason for gun control was Regan was afraid of the balck panthers owning guns.
Full stop
Thank you boondocks for showing me Malcolm X. Yeah I know but this game is a bit different. Gotta be smarter this go around, money, it's all money. Your color never really mattered it was just convenient.
If it's all money... How do you propose the fascists will go away? Good words and peaceful protests don't mean shit when the oligarchs own the quasi-totality of the media landscape.
As a totally unrelated thought, Luigi's alleged cheap 3D printer did more for access to healthcare in the US than every government from the past decade-and-a-half and that's a straight fact.
Pay half the fascist to deal with the other half! Lucky for us all they're selfish whores to their very core.
I tell you what the real myth is. Thinking they need violence to declare martial law. They clearly don't. So that's an argument people need to stop making.
Real martial law. And they need footage for the news they just are not getting right now. Not to say the current state of things is sustainable.
