Then I guess you should take a quick strike break when an ICE agent comes walking in cause he broke his hand on a detainees face, or got chlamydia from raping someone in return for letting them talk to their child.

If a writer was writing a novel and they wanted to hamfist some symbolism that showed how evil one side was they would be like "we'll have them kill a few characters whose names represent virtues... Like Pretty... And Good."
It's the twilight zone here.

RIP to a brave man who stood in to protect a woman who was being abused, because he didn't want to see another Renรฉe be murdered.

They can literally block people with guns and state authority from accessing a crime scene to do their jobs. What do you think they're going to do during elections? Wake up America.

Don't forget that the democrats keep voting to fund ICE and many refuse to agree with abolishing ICE.

If you're American and you read a comment telling you all to wake up and do something, and the only thing you can think of is "what do you want us to do?" then just don't comment. You've chosen to be craven. Hide in your hole and stop participating. Let others with conviction talk to each other.

I thought you guys were peacefully protesting so that they he wouldn't do this? I thought you weren't defending yourselves and doing community walks around the block because anything more would be escalation?
He doesn't need your responses to escalate, so you might as well fight for your lives.

It's funny watching all the pacificists talking about how you shouldn't escalate vis-ร -vis defending yourself because that's what ICE and Trump want. Soon the act of protesting peacefully will be seen as instigating, and they'll tell you to stay home so martial law isn't declared. They're losers.

Not even remotely the same situation. You'd rather just bleat and hope only some of the flock gets killed instead of all of you. Bullies only respond to strength, and you're just advocating to be a victim.

The fact you guys are twiddling your thumbs and talking about court cases instead of lynching that mfer tells me that I need to prepare for WW3. Because the Nazis have won and they won without even a fight. Pathetic.

Same. I would really like everyone to understand what theyโre doing to our children. These are some of the videos kids were sending to each other recording thugs pounding on children as they got out of Roosevelt High School in south Minneapolis yesterday.

Hey. You're losing. You just have to accept that. The American people have been too complacent. They don't know how to achieve anything through peaceful means, which means this whole thing is going to go straight to violence. There's nothing you can do to stop it, so wake up and prepare for it.

That's a cute little weekend picnic. Remind me what it did again? Oh yeah. Nothing. Couldn't even stop the economy for half a day, instead you got permission from the repressive state apparatus before you could go and do some drum circles.

Little American fascist going off. And Venezuelans have died in their attempts for freedom, Americans just sit around and whinge that they have to go to work. Zero sacrifice, yet somehow bloated with a sense of moral superiority.
