I can't wait for the trial about it gunning them down is self defense,
if it is a trump appointed judge, then it will clearly be considered illegal, which mean the whole point of 2nd amendment (defend against a tryranic government is BS)
or reasonable judge, which will determine it is self defence, then let the fun begin.
Buy some guns and do it to them then.
It's America
We should respond to these people as what they are, domestic terrorists.
Oh so they can breathe through those masks. Isn't it strange how it was difficult for them 4 years ago but now they're totally fine with it.
Tbf, the mask is a bigger inconvenience when you're picking up veggies from the food isle than when chasing down migrants while hoping over a couple of fences. Don't your see? The aerodynamic design of the mask will...
Why aren't masked and armed individuals with weapons and no badges, that make attempts to abduct people, being shot?
Because the whole second amendment thing was about carrying a gun in the hope that you get to shoot a black person, a school kid or a teacher.
My Army training would kick in, and I would shoot the terrorists.

Time to grab a certain white South African and deport him
I imagine South Africa would complain. They don't want him back.
Isn't it the job of the opposition party at this point to propose legislation that outlaws this practice? To run candidates on a platform of reigning in these abuses? To run ads with scary music saying how the government is infringing on liberties etc?
Rural Republicans already fear three letter federal agencies: BLM, ATF, etc. Play to their fears, this very low hanging fruit, Democrats.
California "No Secret Police Act" introduced, would ban police from covering their faces - CBS San Francisco https://share.google/yBJZoO8cseW6R5mc9
If this was germany, people showing up like this would spark an instant large-scale police operation. just saying. Germany. you know?
Where's the well regulated militia you Americans scream about so loudly when someone suggests not letting a mentally ill child own an assault rifle?
Isn't this exactly the government tyranny that argument is used to defend against?
I think they’re the same people that are locking up random immigrants
Where's the well regulated militia you Americans scream about
So, one could argue that the well regulated militia in question is constituted by the National Guard, as they nominally are the armed forces of individual States, and can be nationalized under certain circumstances.
Except for the fact that Trump just nationalized the California National Guard when he's nominally not supposed to....
One should argue that. Even though the national guard acts as a branch of the military, technically they are whats considered a "organized milita" and are actually under the control of the state government
The way the legal system in the US works is just incredible. There are things that are very much illegal, but if the president does them apparently everyone is just fine with it.
The majority of citizens are not "fine" with it, we are watching the results of the capture of every branch of government.
The template for this actually played out in Texas. Texas has a very weak governors office in terms of formal powers. Under George W Bush the Republican party systematically took control of each state office and coordinated their efforts to effect the agenda of Bush, Perry, and now Abbott.
They are doing the same thing at the federal level with project 2025 under Trump, they took the supreme court, and now they have removed the career civil servants that would refuse illegal orders from Trump.
If history of other dictatorships is any guide the powers of ICE will be expanded steadily and the other law enforcement agencies and military will be continually overshadowed by ICE and eventually subordinated to them, like the Republican guard of Iran or the SS in Nazi Germany.
They're too busy gargling republican boot to bother rising up against the tyranny they've cried about for decades.
To a unnerving amount of people's surprise, they only cared about the power of the state when they thought it was being used improperly (having a tolerant democracy), and are more than happy to see it used the way they want (hurting brown people)
It'll come for them at the finish. These brown shirts should pick up a history book. The people who helped the Nazis rise to power did not live to get to enjoy it.
This is quite a terse way of putting it.
10/10. No notes.
Hey dumbass, it turns out that:
Each state has its own laws about this. Where I live the same state constitution that ALSO specifically grants us the right to own firearms for self defense explicitly forbids belonging to any private militia.
My part (Democrats) is so overwhelmingly anti gun that 99% of aren’t armed to begin with. So precious militia you’re smugly pretending to ask about? Yeah you’re looking at them in the post to begin with. They’re all boot licking fascists.
Nice try though, pretending disarming Americans is the answer to anything other than more deportations, more oppression, and so on.
I’ll give you this: literally neither side gives a shit about the actual underlying problem: mental health. Over half of ALL gun deaths in the USA each year are from suicide. You don’t need an AR15 for that. Banning and removing all guns successfully won’t stop all those people wanting to be dead, but my fellow Democrats don’t care and the fascists sure don’t.
LOL. My point was, when you have come down of your high horse, that the opponents of gun control hide behind the Second Amendment and the need to protect themselves from government overreach, but those are the exact same people who jump up to volunteer to do that exact bit of overreach.
Plus I get to have a little dig at your country's ridiculous gun laws at the same time.
opponents of gun control hide behind the second amendment
What? That doesn't even make any sense. Anti-Gun folks continually make laws against the second amendment (Imo, I know this is gonna get a lot of flack here but that's not the point.
The second amendment protects the rights of civilians owning guns. And folks who are pro-gun tend to overwhelmingly lean right after years of bastardization from the left.
Maybe actually read the second amendment, and the arguments made by both parties before you "take a little dig"
Those 2a chuds will never rise up against a tyrannical government.
They'd rather kneel down for a tyrannical government.
Dox all these fuckers. Attack and take their masks. Spread photos everywhere you can. Make their lives terrible. They're not law enforcement they're gestapo.
Perhaps the only valid use for glitter
Should try that die they use when you steal shit. That stuff lasts forever. How does one bulk buy that. Nothing a squirty water bottle, water gun or balloon couldn't handle either.
Super soaker!
Let's do it!
I’ve wanted to suggest things like this, only frustration I can think of is, could you risk glittering an innocent bystander and having people accuse them of being ICE later.
Democrats need to thoroughly clear out everyone in ICE as soon as they get the chance.
You're still pushing that "my government is here for me" bullshit? You haven't noticed but you're gonna have to do that yourself boss.
Worse.
Gestapo did not wear masks and they had their legal documentation/warrants ready and available. They were not hiding.
I mean.. In some ways maybe that is not worse. Perhaps there is some shame associated with working for ICE.
It's not shame they feel, it's about self-preservation. They know that if everyone knew who they were they would be reprisals.
If anybody knew who any of these guys were, and worked out where they lived, I wouldn't give them 24 hours. Eventually they'll deport the wrong person and someone with a gun will decide that the ends justify the means, and that'll be that. It will probably spark a massive military escalation on trump's part, but it won't matter to them.
If camera phones and the internet were available then they absolutely would have hidden their face, in the beginning at least
ICE folks should raid banks. Gotta be people hiding in the safe right? And cops won't stop them to ask questions, so win win!
Unlawful intimidation at the very least, good grounds to take out your own weapon.
Nazis
Q-anon wouldve been crazy in these times.
