A Florida sheriff issued a stark message to protesters planning to demonstrate this weekend against increasing ICE arrests nationwide.

Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey warned in a press conference Thursday that if any protesters “throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun,” they will be killed.

Protests against the Trump administration’s ongoing immigration crackdown have been popping up across the nation after they first erupted in Los Angeles on Friday.

They are expected to continue through the weekend, in alignment with the president’s birthday parade.

    Tangentially, I hope that that’s the point where the national guard switches sides and starts shooting at ICE.

    I feel like this is what it’s really going to come down to. If the military sides with Trump and turns on the citizenry, it’s going to be a massacre. If the military sides with the constitution and turns on the executive branch, they’ll be quickly overthrown.

      If the military lines up behind the fascists, they’ll be facing an insurgency the likes of which the world has never seen. You think Ukraine is being sneaky with their (granted, very impressive) covert ops in Russia? You ain’t seen nothing yet.
