If you listen, you hear her quite understandably surprised reaction with a scream, and then she asks to call the police, only to be told “we’re the police.” None of them are in uniforms. Most of them are masked.

Frightening.

    If Americans were just 1% as tough as they pretend to be on the internet, Trump would have been overthrown by now.

    Alas.

      There’s no useful discussion to be had from you. You’re just looking for a fight.

      I’m tired of reddit refugees coming here and bringing that attitude.

      I’m an American who has never had that bravado, has always voted against this bullshit, and even online we get spat upon when we are the ones who will somehow have to overcome the largest military on the planet.

      Fucking hell, try being, I dunno, useful or supportive. If we fail here, you’ll face the consequences. That’s the sad reality.

        I’m not shouting in from the outside. I’m in the US myself. The student who got grabbed off the street? She didn’t write half the shit I did. How’s that for having a stake?

        If I made you mad I’ve already been helpful. You will not face the largest military on the planet on account of that military comprised by your own countrymen. Other nations such as Canadians or Europeans will not be as lucky. I would also love to be “more supportive” for direct action, if you know where to start let me know because I don’t.

          Okay, fair. But we need to be allies in this. I don’t know where to start either but I want us to pull put of it somehow.

          Help build us up, please, and not tear us down. I apologize for discounting you. We can only move forward if we unify, and the left is goddamned bad at that.

      Seriously. Americans spent the last 50 years pretending to be the toughest most tyranny proof people in the world, and look at them. Exactly as pathetic as expected. Ffs.
