Carry a gun and ICE will just murder you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] eletes@sh.itjust.works 24 points 11 months ago (1 child) Murdered on the street or murdered in a detention center, same outcome permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago* Most people will calculate that there's a chance of survival in detention but no chance of surviving a gun battle with multiple cops. Armed resistance needs to be organized and collective, because the individual calculus is always this. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago They don’t need to murder you. The criminal cases against ICE protesters in Texas hinge on the government’s assertion that carrying a weapon to a protest is evidence that you are planning a terrorist act (also, wearing black, using Faraday bags for your phone, and traveling to protests in groups are all now considered evidence that you are planning terrorism). So, carry a gun near ICE and they will call you a terrorist and disappear you. Murder is bad optics, but label someone a terrorist and America will cheer while they execute you. permalink fedilink source parent
