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.

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.

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.
