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.

    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.

      They’re mostly out-of-shape larpers that just want to be able to buy their overpriced toys with no actual patriotism or balls. Very similar to the current administration and the unelected muskrat that are taking their rights and freedoms away, really.

    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.

      First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

      Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist

      Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist

      Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew

      Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

    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. And tell em to say hi to their mothers, wives, and daughters for 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.

          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.

              Edit: Irrelevant to any of this, but I’m not a R*ddit refugee since I’ve been permabanned there more than a decade ago. I’m a /pol/ refugee. They banned me there as well, though nothing a DNS change couldn’t fix. Just as well, 4Chan is even more of a fed honeypot than Plebbit.

                Okay, fair. But we need to be allies in this. I don’t know where to start either but I want us to pull out 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.

                  No apology needed, I’m a dick. Just wish more people would be seething with rage about all of this as I am. Feels like the left is too placid, too timid, too laissez-faire with the great gift hard won with blood and iron by their forefathers.

            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.
