Yeah, a judge will fortunately stop them with due process.
Oh wait. We don't have due process anymore.
Oh wait. They're arresting the judges.
Oh wait...
D’oH!!!
Please do I could use the target practice.
Well, they won’t learn until they fear consequences of their unconstitutional actions.
Melt the ice.
America you got a nazi problem
I've been thinking for years "at what point is America gonna make a vigilante movement to keep their police in check"... at this point, I suppose they may just not.
I mean, there was that dude in Dallas who shot a bunch of cops during a festival. He ended up barricaded in an office that overlooked the festival. Cops sent in an improvised suicide robot to blow him up.
Or hell, just a few months ago, cops woke up the entire state of Texas at 5 in the fucking morning, via the emergency broadcast system. Why? Because some dude in Amarillo had shot at a cop and was on the run. The cop wasn’t even dead; he had just been grazed. But the dude was on the run, so the cops sent an emergency alert to the entire fucking state. For reference on how insane that is, I got the alert a few minutes after the shooting… And I live like 8 hours away from where it happened. There are people on the gulf coast who are an entire 12 hour drive away, who got woken up because some cop got shot.
All that to say, if you’re going to be a vigilante, it can’t be just one person. The only thing cops hate more than melanin is a cop killer.
This is the crux of the situation. It’s a suicide mission unless we have overwhelming numbers (and really an organized force) on our side. Unless and until that happens, cops are just gonna find the occasional person who feels they have less to lose shooting at them than not.
My biggest issue is I'm not a fan of 'collateral' damage.
If I actually witness something, then I can act.
But just attacking blindly doesn't really serve any purpose besides stroking ones ego.
Second amendment might make them think twice about fourth amendment violations
This sounds like a quick way to end up dead, enable Fox News to portray ICE as the victim and for ICE to use as an excuse to implement a policy of shooting first and asking questions later
If you wish to pursue this route be sure to look into what the Black Panthers did; namely not pointing guns at law enforcement or violating any laws; merely arriving in numbers with guns
The numbers is important. One person with a gun won't be able to tell their side of the story if they are killed by an officer
Compliance doesn’t equate to safety. El Salvador is going to become a death sentence without trial soon enough
This sounds like you're making excuses. These people are claiming your basic rights as their playthings.
That's a line you just don't cross. Time to update my front door shotgun to a front door AK.
AKs are fucking beast, I love mine for home protection
If you come through my door. Federal officer, Local Cop, or Criminal. And you do not have a written warrant to enter my property. I will see you in hell after taking a few of you with me. Know what I mean?
We all know what you mean, but it’s not going to fix for anyone (your dead body included).
All the things you fear are already happening. Might as well resist.
...i'd love to see how her reasonable belief plays against castle doctrine in court...
Did they repeal the 4th amendment when I wasn’t looking?
Were you looking in 2001?
I was very much looking then. Lost many friends speaking against the PATRIOT Act and protesting against the invasion of Iraq.
Gestapo.
What happened to her face?
It’s just some issues with the injection molding. This is probably a factory second.
Twisted by evil
No they can’t. But I would just keep a shotgun rifle at my door just in case someone wants to try. Buck shot the whole way.
Is that a rifle that shoots shotguns? Do they use sabots to take advantage of the rifling?
Nah. Just a semi-auto self-feeding canister shotgun. It’s Italian.
They did this on a Friday hoping to use it through the weekend before the courts challenge it on Monday. This is going to be a terrible weekend for a lot of people.
If you’re a citizen, look out for your neighbors. Be ready to record video if you see ICE in your neighborhood.
I wish the second amendment could actually be used to protect us from tyranny as opposed to being a bunch of hogwash that's exclusively used to prop up white supremacy.
Magats being the only armed people has been changing a lot over the last few months
Last few months?! Blacks, women and LGBT have been the largest gun buying demographic since 2020 or so. Some appeared to have gotten the memo.
While this is true, I still can't see it as being a viable form of resistance to tyranny in a case like that mentioned in the post. The government won't accept an appeal to one's second amendment rights as a valid defense when it's their own agents committing the offense.
It only works when used against a minority or desperate poor person.
The irony of them using the alien act, which tarnished Adams’ legacy. If they had any shame they’d be feeling it
Shall I offer them milk?
Leaded milk
Some Hans Landa shit…
