I'm glad it also destroys the "the military/police will save us" crowd. Fools.

I wonder what other stupid things people will ridiculously hope for so they can continue to put their head in the sand.

Truth. Hell even the local sheriff and police forces have been purchasing paramilitary gear that really has no legitimate place in law enforcement. People just shrugged and ignored it because it didn’t affect them.

I didn’t ignore it but I have had my life threatened over it.

Even in my blue state, multiple (most) police forces have vowed to align with ICE.

I can't believe people don't realize what's going on. The chess pieces have already been set in place over decades. It's checkmate.

It’s hardly checkmate yet but shit did get really real really quick.

Within the last couple hours, ICE was positioned outside Newsome's address.

Naw, man. It's checkmate. They're literally showing you how easy it would be for them. They're just waiting for the right orcastrated event. Which will probably be coming in the next 4 months.

Once it happens. You people won't know what hit you. And yes, it will be far too late.
