They want marginalized immigrants to get strapped and 1v10 ICE agents in death by cop scenarios? Everybody is clamoring for action though, which is a good sign, but their idea of that is shouting into the internet void "DO SOMETHING" at everyone else and the victims.

Everyone is a toughguy on the internet, acting like they would totally fight ICE and kill them if they were being unfairly deported. It helps people cope, just like the "if I was there it wouldn't go down like that" fantasies about dogpiling onto mass shooters. Coming up with absurd fantasies to avoid having to do anything to affect systemic change.

the yankee is a politically unsophisticated creature but this event has broken down great barriers to political consciousness--whiteness, citizenship. many of them are probably serious, but it's hard to predict where that energy will go when productive directions are so heavily repressed

technically the second amendment includes mortars and shit.

the real problem is all the cameras everywhere. 20 years ago the kirk kid probably gets away with it.
