Terrorism perpetrated by the state. They brought what looks like 20+ jackbooted thugs to arrest one man. This is meant to terrorize supporters of the anti-ICE movement. I don’t want to get banned for promoting violence against the “federal agents”, specifically assassinations, so I won’t suggest such things here. Not calling for that.

You are not promoting violence, You are upholding the law of the land.

If an unannounced person enters your home, I encourage you to use any and all powers available to end their life to protect yours. Anyone that doesn't want to dodge bullets can knock first. It's really a pretty straightforward principle.

Easy to say. The thing about violence is that there's a monopoly and its biggest buyer is the State..

Sometimes you have to pick the gun up to put the Gun down.

This community is on midwest.social so you’re fine. The Nazi sympathizers that declare any anti-Nazi action “promoting violence” are on lemmy.world.
