      Would you consider ICE losing being -1 officers and you in prison or dead? Like I said, I don’t disagree with the sentiment, I’m just being realistic.

      Let me put it this way: If people start killing ICE officers, they will be rolling up with every resource they have to kidnap whoever they are looking for.

      Is that a better situation?

      Killing officers is not the end, it’s the beginning.

        Then the people need to organize and be ready to fight back and defend themselves against state oppression. We know it is going to happen if we stand up for ourselves, so we might as well be prepared instead of letting it deter us from doing what is right.

        You act like they aren’t already rolling in and kidnapping whoever they desire. So the threat of them doing it “harder” is moot.

          I mentioned people organizing and fighting back in my earlier comment. I absolutely support it. But the main point is the organization.

          And I really don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest that, while sure they are doing whatever the fuck they want now, they have far more gross tools they can use. I think what we’re seeing right now is Trump trying to normalize the military protecting ICE.

        The more officers they have to send to a kidnapping, the fewer kidnappings they can perform.

        I’m more inclined to think that unidentified ICE officers kidnapping random folk without any warrant or due process is the beginning, citizens defending themselves from the gestapo is the only appropriate response. To be realistic, they’re already rolling up with every resource they have to kidnap whoever they are looking for, it’s already reached that point. Who do you think would back down first? Who do you think should back down first?
