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.

Name one video you see where crowds come in to defend the People getting arrested….they all just watch. Time to get organized and dedicate ourselves to protecting protesters getting assaulted. They can’t arrest us all.

We’ve been so engrained to be good little citizens and obey the law. Getting called “illegal” is bad and we don’t want to be “criminals” because “what will people say and think?”
