    I’m amazed more people aren’t standing their ground (opening fire) when masked goons jump out of an unmarked car and try to kidnap someone. So much for all that second amendment peacocking eh

        Plus most people have no combat training. I can handle aggressive drivers no problem. If masked thugs rush me with drawn weapons, I will very effectively shit myself at best, run hard at worst

        When they raided Chicago ICE specifically stayed away from the really bad parts because they didn’t wanna get shot.

      People just don’t want to be involved, and I’m not going to judge them for that.

      As in, I have a wife and 2 young kids. My purpose in life is to care for and support them. If I’m at work or whatever and some goons show up to abduct someone I don’t know, I’m not going to start blasting and go down in a blaze of glory because of an ideological position.

        If you or your wife/kids were being abducted and sent to the camps, would you be happy knowing everyone else stood by not wanting to get involved?

        I get being scared, but inaction is destroying countless families. If everyone stands together, the risk factor goes down.

        An ideological position like democracy, freedom and liberty? This is why the US is where it is. Those things don’t come from nothing. They come from people willing to fight for them.
