Fuck off with this shit. Normalizing political violence of any kind is not okay. It’s all fun and games until they start shooting at the people you support, and that’s a ratchet that tends to go only one way.

how about when elected politicians bend the knee to private interests, giving preference of basic resources like water or electricity to datacenters over their own cities? How are citizens supposed to react?

I’m sure we can find some middle ground between nothing and shoot-the-place-up.

Drag the offenders into the street to be tried by televised mob justice?
Seriously, until multiple people responsible get serious consequences the situation will continue to devolve.

I think 2A folks believe 2A was made for situations like this. When government doesn’t listen to voice of the people.

There’s a difference between 2A folk really. You have the right wing which view it as a tool of power and wield it with little to no responsibility. Then the left as a tool against oppression that one should take care with. There’s far fewer left leaning attacks like this than there is right leaning.

The fuck you talking about? They already are killing civilians under this ICE bullshit. Comply or get shot in the face.

They straight up executed Alex Pretti. He wasn’t resisting, they were beating the shit out of him, then the guy just draws his gun, walks up to him, and puts rounds into him.

“Comply” with 3 conflicting orders being screamed at you behind masks.
Get shot anyway.

I’m confused, how does one shoot guillotines at someone?

Group in power has ratcheted up political violence in multiple staggering ways, deliberately, they use it constantly to brutalize people.
What are you even talking about? There is no peaceful baseline that exists to be maintained. They have broken the social contract entirely. Where have you been?
