They will come for their leadership just like they did in the 60's. I hope they are prepared.
RIP Chairman Hampton.
This is how civil war starts and how fascism will be defeated.
The way ICEtapo operates right now doesn't leave them much room for escalation, they're already cranked fascism up to eleven. They will come for everyone sooner or later unless stopped. There is still hope that it can be done legislatively, but I don't have a lot of faith in Americans anymore.
You can't actually believe that though? 11 would be ICE shooting protesters on sight. Not much room for escalation? What are you talking about?
They don't need to with those pussies not even putting up a fight.
Embarrassing
They already kind of doing almost that. The step above would be actual drive by shooting, and the final step is full on dystopia with torment nexus and all. There is room for escalation, sure, but once your government backed paramilitary group starts disregarding laws, there is not a lot of that room left
Guy never heard of tanks and APC and thinks LRAD is something from computer games.
This is fascism at an 8. You wanna see fascism at 11, ask anyone from South Africa what that really looks like. Do you know what a hippo is?
Once paramilitary organisation is given full permission to do whatever they want regardless of the law, that's kind of it, really. Do they throw people into hippo dens, throw them out of helicopters, put them into gas chambers, or just shoot in the face, are gruesome details for future historians and hopefuly-not-so-future-judges to study.
Faith in US sheep?
All they do is bleat.
