    I’m just incredulous that anyone here believes they have a chance against a militarized police and immigration force. Feels very much like when the right pretended they could defend themselves against the government “taking their guns.” 99% of civilians, gun owners or not, have no chance.

      If you’re talking about organized resistance, the police can be greatly outnumbered. Mostly unarmed people took over a precinct during BLM protests.

      If talking about defending yourself in your home, I’d rather die quickly at home than at a prison that tortures people. Hell, I’d rather die than spend 20+ years in a regular US prison.

      The goal is not to take out the entirety of ICE yourself. The goal is if they come for you to go down fighting and hope to take at least one. The only other option is to go peacefully and be shipped to an El Salvadorian gulag. Where you’ll probably die anyway.

      Better to die trying imo

        If you really thought this you wouldn’t wait. You would ambush them so that you can take more out. Y’all are just larping.

      What’s the alternative? At a certain point it’s fight back or lay down and die. These are literally Nazis. We’re in a bad situation

      The point isn’t to take out all of ICE. The point is that if they come for you, you are already dead. Your body just hasn’t stopped moving yet. Cops have shit aiming skills. If you open your door with a Molotov Cocktail and a shotgun, you are taking the quick death, and giving the ones you don’t kill and maim a real and present danger for every single time they follow illegal orders. If you just go peacefully, you’re the only one that is gonna die, and you are going to die as a slave in an El Salvadorian prison.
