    ICE agents “don’t deserve to be hunted online by activists using AI,” said Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.)

    WRONG. They should be hunted and doxxed at every opportunity. Though I grant AI can make mistakes, innocents get caught up in conflict and that’s not a valid reason to avoid all conflict.

    “These misinformed activists and others like them are the very reason the brave men and women of ICE choose to wear masks in the first place, and why they, and their families, are increasingly being targeted and assaulted,” Roman said.

    I would ask this, “Why is this the first time in American history that law enforcement, of any stripe, has worn masks?”

      Said many times on here, about daily, they’re not raiding states where gun culture is strong and laws are not strict. See this happening in the South? This shit isn’t happening in Florida where I’m at, not a peep from ICE. And you better fucking believe I’m watching closely. Having a brown, immigrant wife means I have a dog in this fight. Masked men show up on my porch or molest us in public? I am opening fire, instantly. This is fucking personal.

      How about Texas? My god, there are so many Hispanics over there it blew my mind visiting near Austin. LOL, never seen so many people with black hair. And that was my impression having directly moved from Chicago! Want to round up immigrants? Texas should be ground zero.

      And speaking of Chicago, why do you think they’re next on the list? Very restrictive gun laws. For example, Illinois has no conceal-carry reciprocity with any other American state. In other words, my Florida permit means jack in Illinois. That’s very unusual as most states have some form of reciprocity.

      You can’t have an AR-15 in Illinois, the most effective fighting rifle ever designed. Hell, they tried to ban all semi-automatic weapons. Even though a court has struck the law, it’s still in litigation. Think the fascists are sending troops in where civilians have equivalent firepower? LOL. No. They will eventually, but ATM they’re consolidating power by starting with soft targets.

      Good job Chicago. You painted a fucking target on yourselves.
