“I’m saying it right now,” Homan said. “There’s still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted.”

DHS has acknowledged that neither of the men who have been shot in recent weeks was the target of the ICE operations that led to their deaths.

A witness reported that Guerrero shouted, “I tried to stop” after being shot by an agent while his vehicle moved forward slowly.

    The difference is, our police are armed more heavily than some nations military. And our military is more heavily armed than nearly every other nation combined… And that’s forgetting that we’ve allowed technocrats to install nationwide government surveillance, tracking and recording. Both online and in public places.

    It’s not so easy as just “revolt”.

      B-but … when MAGAts occasionally threaten ‘Antifa Communist Marxist Fascists’ on Twitter that they ‘won’t take their bullshit’ much longer, they inevitably pull ‘we have 220 milllion guns’ out of their arse.

        That’s because they own like 40 guns themselves. At a certain point they stop being useful when you still only have two hands.

          Well, with that amount of guns no one can really say you can’t share or teach (ie.: start an anti-fascism shooting school). I mean, th’all invented that Second Amendment for something, right?

      Um… Our people are also heavily armed and have built personas around fighting for our freedom. The real truth is people don’t want to give up their comforts.

      It is absolutely easy to revolt.

          Lol you think I’m presenting myself as above the rest of you? Your emotionally driven, predictable response is, well, predictable.

              Lol hardly. I know who I am and what I’m about. Some butthurt people on a niche social media platform downvoting and insulting me is as meaningful as holding up a sign at a scheduled protest.

        Our people are heavily armed… compared to people in other countries. They are not heavily armed compared to even the police, let alone the military. Any violent revolt would be put down in days.
