JakenVeina comments on Chicago fighting ICE

Simple enough, people are scared, and rightfully so. These fucks will not respond to being attacked by retreating or attacking back, they'll start shooting to kill, both the attacker, and anyone they think might be even tangentially related.

Everyone in the video did really well - hinder them but don't touch them, it's assault to touch them, but if they slam into your body because they weren't paying attention, well that's on them. If you form a moving wall around them, they feel threatened. Honk and shout and video and they feel seen. This is how we fight back.

Yea, I was as frustrated as hell just watching it. The self control those on the ground had was unbelievable. And, that also shows others how to win. The thugs abducting people don't have that control. They are scared little people given a power they cannot control.

It's also a prime example of why I stay the fuck away from situations like this and protests, don't know if I could control my more violent instincts. Seeing folks distressed and being dragged around like that would probably trigger me a bit too much, then you have violent sociopathic Vaultdweller who care about nothing more than inflicting sadistic pain on his foes. Frankly speaking these folks are better than I ever will be.
