And ICE left them alone.

Because the kind of people who join ICE are cowards who want to power trip on and abuse defenseless people.

Just remember -- if you're going to do this, bring friends!

One armed protester, the pigs will readily shoot as a 'valid target'. But if there are multiple armed protesters, the pigs know they can't shoot them all without any risk of return fire.

If you're going to open carry at a protest, bring at least 2 friends with you!

I don’t give a fuck if it’s legal or not. Buy a gun.

Buy and train with your guns. Armed minorities are harder to oppress. Armed resistance is necessary to protect our society.

Yes! Even if you can't own a gun for legal/moral/mental health reasons, you can still do training like this! If you're not going to be armed, you can at least make a field medic of yourself. And then, even without a gun, you could be immensely valuable to the cause.

Every one is showing their faces, not like those cowardly ICE Apes.

Explicitly not true, on multiple levels.

Alex Pretti would like a word. Oh wait, he can't tell you what he knows.

I think there's a big difference between 1 person conceal carrying a handgun and a group of people open carring long guns

Is ICE even there in the first place? This is an unconfirmed video.

  1. A problem doesn't have to exist in a place before people protest.
  2. ICE is everywhere. Do a simple internet search
  3. What do you mean when you say that the video is unconfirmed?
