I would be shocked if we make it a week before ICE agents start getting shot and killed. Maybe 2/3s of the people in Minnesota subreddits are talking about getting guns and castle doctrine, combined with threats that would get removed from here for fedposting, as in literally discussing tactics on how to kill people wearing body armor. I think Minnesota related subreddits were probably better than the median subreddit before this, but seeing the average redditor turn into a r/trueanon poster in the span of a week has been wild.

Yeah I was thinking it would take nothing for someone to roll up on them and REDACTED
fingers crossed
I will never forget seeing someone taking out their pistol and firing at speeding pigmobiles on Day 3 of the George Floyd uprising on woke.net. This was how close people were towards merking pigs before Democrats completely destroyed that righteous energy. But unlike the George Floyd uprising, the Democrats aren't there to peddle their counterinsurgent protest police^TM^ bullshit. There's no "vote to get rid of Drumpf" distraction this time. This is just the beginning of Year 2 in Trump's second term with 2 more years to go. But just like how we are stuck with Trump, Trump is stuck with us.

And a lot of Americans think that he won't leave office at the end of that either, and will continue to stay in power unless he is stopped by force.
The administration would be ecstatic. It’s what they want. They want to go on tv and say radical leftists are killing federal officers.
They are incapable of solving problems. They can only create them and claim to be the victim.
Edit: chill everyone. I’m just pointing out a fact. I’m not telling anyone what to do. In fact, I strongly encourage resistance.
2nd edit: y’all should stop making assumptions. But if you must make assumptions, probably don’t be a dick about it.

they will do that anyway, regardless of if it happens or not. we're firmly in "might as well" territory. they are going to attempt to arrest or murder you no matter what you do, and then lie about the circumstances to the hogs afterwards, so you "might as well", as it were.
you're absolutely right, under no circumstances should we give them a pretense to do what they're already doing.
You, facing the wall with a rifle to your back: 
"If you pull that trigger you're SO fired!"
"We must not give them pretext for what they are already doing."
It doesn't matter what they say anymore. Now it's kill or be killed
60-70% of people would side with the person who did redacted activity
would definitely disrupt their operations though if their agents started getting regularly smoked
ICE guys are fucking cowards. That's why they're only going after people who are obviously just family people, and not anyone actually dangerous. If they found a cartel enforcer or someone, they would immediately call for the FBI or some other organization.
Like a few days ago I might be on your side since I was even like 2 days ago arguing that they do seem to be looking for some sort of pretext or justification and just edging themselves with the violence, but at this point that’s gone out the door. They’ve gotten the pretext they wanted even if it’s not very convincing to anyone who not a dyed in the wool fascist, I think they also just have bloodlust towards Minneapolis since they’ve never gotten over 2020. Not doing anything is just gonna get you kidnapped or worse.
I never stated "my side."
Sorry I just meant agree with you
They'll manufacture that anyway by taking a Fort Bragg veteran to pull off a hit on an underachieving or uncompliant ICE agent, and spinning up a story about it being a "radical leftist".
Good-faith does not exist in America today, it was abandoned so long ago.
You're right what we really need is 5 more decades of liberals like you milling around like sheep in the Protest Zone (tm) Brought to you By Arbys
They'll be less ecstatic when ICE cowards stop showing up and stop joining because the whole deal was supposed to be that they're safe while they terrorize people.
And do what? Really, what more could they do then? Develop a bullet that sends anyone who gets shot by it to Hell?
We already know your fact though.
They are really amping up the violence. I was giving this country 12 more months, I was being conservative it seems.
I played my cards wrong and took too long to be able to make it to China. Another year or two and I might have been able to make it out, oh well.
anyone also has the impression this is going way too quick?
they are not even getting people used to it, just straight up to the gestapo snatching bystanders off the streets.
they were snatching people back during the George Floyd protests
I think many Amerikkkans just won't care, they've made that calculation and have determined the same thing.
Latest yougov polls I read had ~40℅ approval of ICE. This was pre-Renee though.
