And y'all think violence isnt the answer? That is literally all their monkey brains can comprehend
It's quite unreal to watch from the outside what's happening down there. Violence is the only answer.
it always was, but the right through various propaganda, said only protest without violence was the answer.
And what do you expect us to achieve other than getting ourselves killed?
General strike is the only answer.
Then start talking to your neighbours.
"Hey neighbour, it looks like we are in danger, what do you need from me? What are we gonna do when these fucks comes for us, our family and our friends?"
Like stop pretending this can't happen to anyone at this point. Because it's not going to get any better anytime soon
Yes, this exactly.
So you know an appropriate answer yet here we are seeing nothing.
You have no idea what I'm doing. Get off your high horse.
If we can take any of them down with us, then it's still a success.
Casualties are part of war.
If you make martyrs you aren't advancing the cause.
To these cunts a lack of retaliation is seen as assent.
This would make Trump really happy.
This, and Epstein is why he's doing this shit: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-approval-rating-hits-record-low-for-second-term-10815700
Yeah? Well I say we make him cream his diaper. It's way past time to fight fire with fire. Give them what they seem to crave. The current response is not sufficient.
Yeah, funny how after the dust is settled, the winners try to convince the losers that the time for violence has passed.
If even a quarter of those doors had someone returning buck shot this would probably be the last ice raid like that.
they are also targeting on blue areas, and not red ones.
Maybe. They would likely call in heavier reinforcement if that became common. Solo fighters stand little chance of making a dent in them even when properly trained and armed. Sadly, that is a situation too many face given so many are so vehemently against violence of any kind. Maybe my ideas are colored by the media and there are more willing to go visceral than the media wants us to believe
A single child with a gun held dozens of cops at bay for hours after the "heavier reinforcements" showed up.
These people are cowards and are only acting this way because they know they won't face any resistance.
These cops are functionallly bullies, it they realized there was real danger it would stop them. They've been avoiding anything actually dangerous for a reason. They might be able to call in a swat team for assistance, but it would destroy their ability to do widespread raids if there was legitimate fear for their own safety.
You're 100% right.
They're targeting Democratic cities with large numbers of democratic gun owners because they're hoping for a confrontation.
It might be inevitable, but I guarantee you they will not back down once you give them what they have been trying to incite.
There's a reason Miller, Hegseth, and Bondi made an appearance, got all those armed people pumped full of adrenaline, and then literally slipped out the back door yesterday before flying far, far away. They don't plan on being present on the battlefield for the war they're creating.
They need people to fight and die while they give orders and watch comfortably from afar like it's some kind of UFC ultimate match.
Bullshit. If they wanted an armed standoff they'd go to places that have high gun ownership and Stand Your Ground laws.
One of the reasons they are busting into Chicago city apartments id precisely because they know they're least likely to be armed and anyone defending their property doesn't have the law on their side.
