AMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND

This comment thread was about whether local law enforcement should be arresting ICE. But if you want to move the goal-posts, I'll bite.

How many protestors in Minneapolis do you think have a permit to legally carry a firearm? And out of those, how many do you think are willing to bring a rifle to a protest? Do you think it will be enough to prevent ICE from shooting them on sight, and likely massacring all the unarmed protestors behind them?

Armed resistance takes planning, organization, and coordination. And until you start seeing that happening in numbers above 3000, the resistance is outnumbered.

If you wanna put your neck on the line, do it like the OG revolutionaries. Hang out in the back room of a pub, get a list of names of people willing to put their asses on the line with you, make them swear oaths of loyalty to a cause (good luck, oaths mean nothing in a secular society), and have them swear to secrecy before letting them go.

Keep your list of names secret, cause if the feds find it then you just fucked over everyone who swore to follow you. And you'd better hope to the gods you don't believe in that nobody will betray you to the feds.

Once you get at least 3000 loyal comrades, train them in the use and maintenance of firearms as well as combat tactics and maneuver warfare, and have them all fully equipped, then you'll have yourself a militia large enough to liberate Minneapolis. Assuming the feds don't call in back-up. Or call in the military.

Nevermind the fact that they have a bigger budget than you, and hardware that you don't have access to. After all, who doesn't love cheering for an underdog, right?
