They would wet their pants if someone shot back
I w卐nder why D卐nald Trump w卐uld let this happen
Where is this and who are they aiming at?
usa
aiming at anyone that isn't behind them
I'm trying to figure that out myself.
Fascists are shooting rubber bullets at what seems to be peaceful protesters.
I would guess this is Portland Oregon.
It's Portland
I wonder why they aren’t doing this in stand your ground states like TX, AZ, or FL where it’s easy (or not even necessary) to get your concealed carry licenses, and if your attacked by a masked unmarked thug with a weapon you’re allowed to use lethal force to defend yourself? Anyone can wear a patch that says whatever they want. From that distance, how are you supposed to identify who they are or why they’re shooting at you? They are going to get waxed.
I heard a theory that the fascists are testing the waters in places with assault weapons bans.
I’d believe it. In my state the gun ranges have changed dramatically. It used to be 100% rednecks and I was the only minority that got weird stares. Now they are full of minorities with John Wick looking rigs, full silencers, and crazy accessories. ICE got pushed back into their own compound a few months ago and I haven’t heard much since.
Mine hasn't changed at all that I've noticed. A few weeks ago the range safety officer was telling me he has never played a video game and video games make children violent. I invited him out to play some pinball, he declined. Customs and Border Patrol has been shooting there for decades. This time of year it's a lot of old white guys zeroing their deer rifles.
Oregon is effectively “stand your ground” by way of not having a duty to retreat law.
Use of deadly force is permitted in response to a felony in progress.
Kidnapping is a felony.
It’s likely a matter of time, and the incident will probably be used to justify further aggression
In the interest of moving history along, I’d appreciate it if we can start calling this The American Civil War.
Schumer probably will still be making KFC jokes regardless.
Disgusting. What a country.
Intrusive thought: THROW A FIRECRACKER
I was thinking an egg...but that's too expensive.
Time to rewatch Civil War I guess
Fear driven fascists.
This is depressing in so many levels.
But I can't blame an illiterate empire tbbh.
Yeah the entire country would be very upset if they could read. Right now it's just a bit more than half of us that are upset.
Like, how do you all blue scare yourselves after you literally beat the nazis, with bombs, guns, and poison.
Surveillance is protest? The fuck is wrong with you Americans?
Fucking Molotov those lithium ion batteries at them.
Barricade them, clog their water, cut their electric, remote the gas line.
Absolutely aghast.
