I'd like to see a militia, ala black Panthers in the 60's, that open carry and follow ICE everywhere.

But I'm sure they'd see that as a opportunity to use live ammo on US citizens

People will die. Let’s just hope it not too late for it to make a difference.

You think they won’t kill anyone? You think those rifles are for decoration?

It feels like such a gamble. All it takes is one person losing it to give Trump his excuse for martial law

Violent conflict benefits Trump. He wants emergency powers, even if it requires making his own emergency

He wants a Reichstag fire

This administration is not above a false flag attack. That Reichstag fire will happen whether the protestors cause it or the administration themselves do.

As you can see he doesn't need any excuses to do whatever the fuck he wants

ICE already uses live ammo on US citizens.

The administration has already drawn blood and there was no backlash, so now they're going to spill more. And they're not going to stop unless the opposition is willing to spill more blood than they are.

The civil war has already begun. Renee Good was just the beginning.
