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.
Gestapo.
Jesus christ. Unidentifiable people just kidnap you for expressing an opinion. This was a legal resident, so we’re watching the rule of law disappear.
I hoped I was being dramatic when I made a comment a few months ago how Hitler took full control in only three months after being appointed. I thought we’d have a few years at least.
But here we are, two months in, and right on track.
Read Takeover: Hitler’s Final Rise to Power for some scary shit about the last six months before he gained office and how he didn’t have a majority when it happened. It’s exactly this. We’re fucked.
This is what the 2A folks are preparing for and now that it’s happening, we can probably expect crickets from them.
Carry a firearm to make surprise arrests spicy. At this point there isn’t much left for a common person to do except become dangerous.
That or do some research and start a list of names of the DHS and ICE employees. We need to fight back with the soft power of doxxing.
I low key have.
Hey Boston, I expect better from you.
You see this shit, you give em the old Comm Ave Kisser, maybe a little Boylston Bop and a Haymarket Haymaker followed by a little Dropkick down at Fenway, know what I mean, guy? Tell em fuckin Sam Adams sent ya.
re-reads… Yep. Clean as a whistle.
Edit: someone steal this and post it on Reddit and see if you get banned.
Oh yeah tough guy, you would have totally attacked those men and saved the damsel. Then everyone would have clapped and the mayor given you a medal.
My goodness you’re dumb.
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.
My goodness, it keeps going!!
Call the police
We ARE the police!
Yup. Everyone has power fantasies about standing up to the “patriarchy” and “fascism” from the safety and comfort of their home. Until shit suddenly gets real. There is no help to call. If you’re lucky you get a kangaroo-court date where they will sentence you into oblivion. If not, you just disappear. Like she has.
How many hours have you been in the gym this week? How many guns do you own? If the answer is “not too many”, then you are not peaceful, you are harmless.
