I honestly don’t understand how these masked fucks are not getting shot

    Would you shoot one? Probably not. I don't mean it as a diss towards you it's just not a thing one just does. You are either a psycho or very desperate if you can shoot someone and even though we all hate these people it's not sth one just does.

    I understand your point, but you and I probably also wouldn’t steel steal cars, embezzle money, or beat up people for drugs, yet these things are happening daily.

    I bet plenty of people with an anger problem walk/drive around with (legal or illegal) guns, and some portion of them probably matches the skin colors that these thugs are targeting. How come not once has somebody got jumpy, when masked people attacked them or their friends? They look exactly like how fake police look like in movies, when they try to rob a rival drug gang.

    I’m just surprised nobody shot one of them yet.

    I'd argue that's what they're looking for to justify even more military presence and push to lock down things. See the reaction to Charlie Kirk.

    However, maybe "they" (ICE leaders) would escalate things even if it were just tires being slashed, not throats. In which case, there's nothing to lose.
