At least one journalist was hospitalized after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were seen cursing out, grabbing and shoving reporters on a public elevator.According to amNewYork, ICE agents were apprehending a suspected immigrant inside the elevator at 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan o…
Here’s the thing, if it got to that point, it is 100% game over for America. No coming back. Guns are a tool to delete life. That is their purpose. Randomly shooting random people to prove some kind of one-off point doesn’t solve the problem, it justifies Stephen Miller’s warped reality of furiously masturbating to the suffering of others by actively sending shoot-to-kill military into every city. They have many more resources at their disposal than civilians. Same reason every other targeted shooting has been absolutely pointless thus far, and if nothing else emboldened Evil, capital E.
What you can do if you are even in America, is get to a range, (find a good one, there are garbage ranges, and they should be avoided) rent a firearm, and train. Take classes. Do your due diligence in safe firearms handling. You should have already started this in November, but no time like the present to catch up. If you have the resources, acquire firearms once you’re trained, they don’t have to be fancy or new, they just have to work. Stock up on ammo. The classes will be sobering as if they are good, they get into the nitty gritty of displacing the most amount of fluids and all sorts of things that will likely unsettle if not gross out most civilized human beings. You’re also meeting fellow firearm owners, which is a community all its own, the more citizens armed, the less the Nazis can take out, the more we can all reinforce to each other that we’re in this together and it’s just a bunch of rich angry soulless sycophants trying to destroy America. There’s a reason the Swiss issue firearms to every home.
You also should have been stocking up on supplies, food, medication (medications can be time-consuming to stock up on due to silly insurance, we’ll fix that later) since last November. Not crazy prepper level storage, but enough to get by through supply chain gaps. The pandemic taught everyone how to do that already. Most of all, after all of that, you should be spending as little as you can into the US economy and prepare for a 0 spend. If we can get any consistent messaging and language out there, a general strike should come sooner than later. We’re past the hot shit summer and have some time before winter. Should minimize life loss due to such a thing. There are 340some million people in America. Not everyone will (or be able to) join in, but it just takes a few key choke points to shut the whole thing down. How about tomorrow when the Federal government shuts down? (But realistically, probably some time in the near future.)
Johnny Larper all by himself with an AR-15 is going to be no match for the loosely-trained ICE dolts due to sheer numbers, and especially not a Predator drone they won’t even see or hear coming if it actually got real. (Although, hopefully our military has more respect for America than the current administration, and point their weapons in the correct direction.)
Edit: I chuckle at the uninformed (and/or troll bots) that are downvoting reality. Life, unfortunately, is not binary. Keep downvoting, but at least go out and read (well, hard for the bots) some documents on history, civilization, community, defense, medicine, care. There is a lot (especially in America) that school does not teach. Bonus points: Read the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and amendments, the Gettysburg Address even. Actually read the words. Figure out what you think your nation actually means to you. Not talking “patriotism” which is stupid blind faith - just the dirt you live on and your community and what you find acceptable behavior.
Even more important than that is ORGANIZE WITH YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUPS. We can not survive fascism with 300 million individuals, we must ally and work together.
And I don’t even mean like form a militia, I mean any group, whether that’s mutual aid, a soup kitchen, a book club. Get to know your neighbors.
Yes, thanks for that, I forgot to mention that very important point. We need our communities more than ever. When stocking up, try and stock a little extra so you can help your family, friends, neighbors if they’re short on anything. Especially the medications and medical supplies, double-especially for the old and infirm. Kindness and generosity is the real strength.
All the bags of beans and bullets in the world do nothing if there isn’t a community working together. Any and all community.
Wait for the military to do that when they get the order of no return
