Bring guns next time
That whole neighborhood should have brought out guns at that moment.
I mean, yes, I guess we're going that direction, but the fact we've gotten to this point is horrible.
I'm more for neutralizing the threat before defensive measures are needed. Like, where is the actual authority to stop these killers? ACAB and all that, but people are above the cops, and someone at some point needs to do the job they're paid to do in protecting the public. It may get to the public fending for itself, but it shouldn't.
The authority to stop this was an uncorrupted government that cared to stop it, which we haven't had in a while. Hell, we've gone so far past it that they're actively encouraging it now. While this symptom is relatively new, the disease has been progressing for decades. Once the government stopped keeping the police in line, and the people stopped caring to fix the government to get that back on track, it was inevitable that we'd need to revolt to bring things back. Now the question is whether or not that will be enough. I hope it is.
That would've ended with a lot more of the neighbors dead.
So are you showing up to protests like this armed? If so, does it work?
Of course it works. Armed protests have always been a pretty successful strategy in the US.

I agree, it's better to just lie down and let them shoot you instead of defending yourself. /s
ICE is happy to kill for a paycheck, i suspect they aren't being paid enough to die for one.

The Black Panthers bore arms and escorted people. The establishment became much more respectful of the innocent, when they didn't have a monopoly on violence.
Power to the people ✊

I want violence to be the last thing we try. But letting them think we won't use violence is not working
Nah, remember all the times the right protested while armed? Remember all the times the law came down hard? Me neither.
That's because the right and law enforcement are the same thing.

We found a cool laser mod for our Minecraft server, thermal expansion compatible.
What's that ole saying?
"Armed minorities are harder to oppress"
The trees can’t be harmed
If the Lorax is armed
I am terribly sorry for what happened to Renee Good. I have watched the videos over and over and I really don't understand how anyone could come to a conclusion different than "power tripping ICE agent murders woman in cold blood because he felt slighted by her declaring she was ignoring his order."
That said, the narrative of fear the administration is pushing requires someone armed and dangerous. Renee Good died unarmed, but she is dismantling a whole story line in her innocence. They tried to portray her as a monster, because the reality is they are.
I remember seeing a report that accused her of using her "enormous SUV" to attack people. She drove a Honda Pilot. It's really hard to find a car smaller than that in America, these days.
I remember seeing a report that accused her of using her "enormous SUV" to attack people
Ironically, said by the people who drive lifted trucks as their dailies
The Pilot isn't an enormous SUV (that would be something like the Cadillac Escalade), but Honda alone makes the CRV and HRV which are smaller SUVs. Plus sedans like the Civic. It's not hard to find smaller cars, but when you have three school age kids the Pilot makes sense.
The Honda pilot is enormous
The Honda pilot is an SUV (in the marketing crossover sense and common terms)
however yes it is not an enormous SUV, it is just both of those things independently
I don't follow your logic for three school-age kids and the pilot making sense.

The only cars I know that are smaller are about 20 years old at minimum or are imported Kei trucks. The fact that it is only mildly bigger than my 4 cylinder 2001 Toyota Tacoma without its shell tells ya how small it is.
Well get guns, then. Whistles don't shoot.
This is 100% why the Left likes to repeat the Karl Marx quote:
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”

Black ICE got a whole new meaning
As in completely enshrouded in black clothing
We need more self-defense (or rather community defense organizing) classes now more than ever. For Renee Nicole Good.

Turn up the heat. Melt the ice.
We need guns to protect ourselves from other gun owners. Not even joking those are just the facts of our nightmare. Guns will never go away.
I'm very sorry for what happened to Renee Nicole Good. The government (through ICE) is really all up in our shit. Get the damn government outta here. Seriously!
