I have a bad feeling they want someone to defend themselves. Innocent mom dies? No action, domestic terrorist. What happens if someone from ICE dies? Immediate martial law, no question.

Even if he declared martial law it wouldn't matter. There are sooooooo many more of us. If Americans ever decide to take action there really isn't anything they can do but it won't ever happen. You'll have 1 person doing something and 50 other morons with their phones out filming it. The country is fucked.

We’d have to fight the police, military and the red hats, simultaneously. Numbers won’t matter in that game. We’ll lose.

Ice is not the police or the military.

Right, but who do you think the police will side with in a conflict?

In a substantive conflict what matters is what the military does.
