If this administration doesn’t succeed in overthrowing democracy, and we ever get legitimate leaders again, I wonder if we could get some kind of official recognition or honor given to the people who have been wounded or killed while standing up for their rights and the rights of everyone in the U.S.?
We couldn’t even get a plaque put up commentatoring the police who died on January 6th. Wishful thinking.
I guess I just feel like if you’re not at least dreaming about a better future, even if it’s a distant one you won’t live to experience, you’ve already surrendered.
I hope so, and I hope these people and families get the reparations they deserve.
Time to start firing back with some more lethal rounds
Our government seems to have forgotten, them holding people accountable on our behalf is their end of the social contract. Our end of the social contract is to pay taxes, abide by the law, and allow the legal system to resolve our conflicts instead of vigilante justice.
If they won’t hold people to account on our behalf, the only patriotic option remaining is to hold them accountable on our own behalf.
The reality is if you protest armed thugs, you really must wear PE. Protect your eyes, ears, elbows, knees. Ideally gas masks too.
DEATH TO ICE
Wear. Eye. Protection. Ballisitic goggles.
as bad as the blinding sounds, the shrapnel worries me more. i’m familiar with a kickass surgeon in phoenix who might be able to help, but i don’t know how to contact the injured.

Thanks. My SIL had an awful carotid injury and the folk at ucsf did amazing things to save her life before a clinic in Phoenix did too. Dad had a great brain surgeon at ucsf too. They may be able to get some of that shrapnel out safely.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?.. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation… We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

While I agree with the spirit, I have to stop you here
But had understood they had nothing left to lose
You should be asking yourself why does he keep threatening this? Why doesn’t he just do it? Why would he need this to escalate? What is he waiting on?
Clearly, he’s antagonizing because he wants the U.S. military (and all of its weapons and drones) to carry out what his small illiterate army of Nazis is already doing in American cities. What you have to lose now is that you would be handing him exactly what he wants.
It may be inevitable, but what do you accomplish by making it any easier on him?
Make him keep begging for it. Make him keep showing the whole world what a pathetic greasy little orange shit stain he and his storm troopers are.
Let history remember how pathetic and disgustingly passive aggressive the most “powerful” man in the world and his army really were in their war against America.
He’ll generate what he wants regardless, that’s the point. We should be peaceful yes, but we should match any escalation against peaceful protest, because doing otherwise shows there is no consequences for escalation. In other words let them make the first move, but be ready for it.
but we should match any escalation against peaceful protest
It depends on what you mean by match it. Your goal should be to humiliate them, and make them look like the feeble minded simpletons that they are, not to provide them with a victim narrative.
Friendly reminder, they are trying to get protestors to fire on federal officers by antagonizing protestors with their (probably bullet proof patrol cars), most likely to justify the defense argument currently being used by the officer who murdered Renee good.
These are some pathetic and passive aggressive little bitches on a power trip. It would be easy to make them the victims. Don’t do it.
Go to the local construction store and buy safety glasses.
Make sure they’re ANSI impact rated. Even better, get a full-face shield that attaches to a hard hat so you wear swimming goggles and a respirator underneath to protect against tear gas.
A motocross chest protector will take a lot of the sting away from those rubber bullets. If you’re a man, WEAR A CUP. Police aim for the groin when they can see the face is protected.

The article was mistaken, they refer to it as non-lethal rounds. Even DHS itself refers to them as less lethal. There is a difference between less lethal and non-lethal.
Hi I just wanted to pointed out that the girl in the green hair and the guy that was being dragged in Santa Ana were egging people on to take the building. I was there to protest until I realize that 2 factions were budding heads while one was peaceful the ones you see wanted this to happen. I feel bad for the people that were protesting peacefully with their families and children, but that small group was really asking for blood and they got it. No I don’t support any violence against the populist I did not serve my country for this to happen and fuck ICE and DHS.
OCDSA was not happy about that group trying to instigate fights and egging folks to attack the building. That girl in the green/blue hair has done this multiple times from the times I’ve gone to protest in Santa Ana.
Edit: lol I’m being downvoted as an actual witness of the protest.
