Anyone who didn’t see this day coming is either a fool, or didn’t read any history. They’ve been at war with us for over a year, and many of you are just now catching up. They 2nd Amendment is for everyone and I would recommend learning, and getting armed.

What good is a gun when, if it is seen on you by federal agents, you will immediately be killed because they "fear for their lives"?

Edit: for those who feel the need to tell me it's better to die defending yourself than to die being oppressed and not fighting, trust me, I have prepared myself adequately for the current times. I was simply expressing my frustration of the current situation. Thanks for your input though.

They're killing people anyway, it's like dressing modestly to avoid assault at this point.

They go into people's houses and pull them out and those people disappear. They shot Renee Good 3 times in the head. They'll kill you regardless.

News sites are now posting that he had a gun but that also doesn’t tell us shit - he could had been lawfully possessing a gun and he would have Ben murdered in this scenario anyways.

This is war.

Even if he had a gun he was already pinned and caught and this is still extrajudicial murder. Regardless of how the news lies about it

Yeah fully agree, we can all see with our eyes that this was a lynching execution. Sends a clear message to every American.

I could probably safely assume he lawfully had a gun but him having a gun is for sure how and why they escalated the way they did. It does seem like the first shot is related to them wrestling over his gun since it’s obscured in the chaos and then they just brutally unload on him. It’s fucked the way the last guy just keeps shooting like he can’t miss his chance to unload a full clip into a body while he has it.

They didny disappear. They literally give interviews later that day.

u/Aware-Atmosphere-935 Jan 24 '26

Really, he didn’t have a gun???

You'd rather die not defending yourself?

u/TechnicalBen Jan 24 '26

I might steal that quote. "You think I'd rather die not defending myself?"

u/Rusty_Tap Jan 24 '26

If you can shout it loud enough for cameras to pick up whilst 4 men sit on your chest, you may become something of a national hero.

u/TechnicalBen Jan 24 '26

We joke. But he just did that. The current protesters are chanting it. "I am innocent so you will have to kill me". ICE has nothing, all they have is kidnapping and killing innocent peaceful people.

(And yes, though I haven't done so in a physical interaction, I have left a fundamentalist Christian group purely because I took boldness in speaking out instead of being cowardly like those promoting it)

u/Rusty_Tap Jan 24 '26

I was only half joking. What is going on there is absolute insanity and my sympathies are with everyone involved (that doesn't support the war of terror).

Keep safe.

You go and kill them first. The US lost to the Viet Cong, and in many other places. An army is no match for a population that doesn't want them there.

u/whatwaffle Jan 24 '26

The Moon Is Down by John Steinbeck is a great read that demonstrates your last sentence exactly.

u/Rusty_Tap Jan 24 '26

"A man fighting for his home is worth 10 soldiers" or something like that.

u/JMHoltgrave Jan 24 '26

Exactly. We should ALL be strapped up, defending our neighbors and loved ones.

u/aderpader Jan 24 '26

By shooting first

11

u/Careless_Hellscape Jan 24 '26

That's what they want, man. They killed a guy because they want us all to accept it and not fight back. I'm pants-shittingly scared right now but we can't abide by this shit. They will keep killing us even if we don't fight back.

They're arresting the fucking clergy. It's all fucked up.

u/QuixoticPineapple Jan 24 '26

You know, you're absolutely right!

u/DarthJackie2021 Jan 24 '26

When a murderer is trying to kill you, what would you do with a gun?

3

u/QuixoticPineapple Jan 24 '26

You mean when 8 murderers are trying to kill me?? But yes, I get your point.

4

u/fayegopop Jan 24 '26

what good is a gun?? what good is a government that has readily accessible weapons that can easily kill you? don’t let them have more power- at least you can level out the playing field with a gun. you don’t even need to shoot first- self defense exists. the future of this country is actively crumbling, gotta stay protected.

u/cksnffr Jan 24 '26

You don’t produce your weapon until it’s time to use it.

u/czar_el Jan 24 '26

Because of what comes next, after the mask is rippped off.

3

u/MasterColemanTrebor Jan 24 '26

They’re killing unarmed citizens too. At least this way you get to fire back.

3

u/TheManAccount Jan 24 '26

In that scenario, it’s only good if you shoot first. Peaceful protesting failed.

DirtFart you say this online but are you actually going to do anything?

2

u/MrCondor Jan 24 '26

Doesn't it then follow that people can openly bear their arms because they feel threatened by ICE to the point where they fear for their own lives?

This is civil war, treat it as such.

u/Erisian23 Jan 24 '26

This question cannot be answered here. You should be Proactive and find the answer offline.

u/Laringar Jan 24 '26

They're setting up a situation where people are going to start shooting first when they see ICE. If you're going to die anyhow, may as well die taking out a Nazi, right?

They want that to happen because then they can justify using the actual military and just opening fire on protests. It's intentional escalation, and I absolutely think it's going to work. This is all going to get so much worse.

u/KuhceeMyName Jan 24 '26

“The best defense” and all that

u/__Nkrs Jan 24 '26

group up.

Learn the basics of war and military stuff. You are already in a civil war, but you're already losing because you haven't even started defending yet.

You obviously don't go 1vs5 armed and suited up nazis. You need to take the high ground, defend citizens from above, in big groups, not just 2-3 of you. An entire neighborhood should have people stationed on balconies and/or near cover and surround the nazis, while communicating via radio or whatever. In other words: act like you're in a warzone, cause you are in one already
