If a masked or non-uniformed man points a gun at me, I'm playing it cool for 3-seconds while I prepare to shoot back. I no longer leave the house unarmed, and that makes me fucking sick.

You're going to give them a whole three seconds?

It's going to take 3 seconds to get my weapon unsafed and into play. If I see it coming, different story.

These guys are brandishing, intending to intimidate, not opening fire. So yeah, I got 3 seconds to spare.

Claim you're plain clothed ice and that buys you a good 20 extra seconds.

I believe you, but that sounds like an eternity.

Right? Like, 3 seconds is enough time for them to shoot you

I fully expect the people they're sending to El Salvador will die even worse deaths.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I am well aware of the consequences.

The moment they approach you, you are dead man already

On the count of three....draw!
