Note that the violence, as usual, is almost entirely on the part of the cops

ICE rolled in hard and fast with violence first.
How so?

Marines aren’t allowed to wear their cammies off base while doing errands between work and off base housing. They can stop under limited circumstances, like filling up gas if absolutely necessary, and drive thru stuff is fine. The reasoning for this is because cammies are the Corps war-fighting uniform, and the Marine Corps doesn’t wage war on US soil. This is instilled in boot camp, through SOI, and especially when you hit the fleet.
It’ll be interesting to see what comes of this.
In the past a guy with a clipboard would walk into a restaurant to talk to the owner about how many fines they would be getting. That should be all it takes. If you want to actually catch people, you set up at the exits before Mr clipboard goes in.
Rolling in swat style is looking to pick a fight.
They’ve won.

He has been looking for an excuse to do this for a long time.
We should fight back
That’s why we’re here. ICE hit and run a protestor, protestors began throwing cinder blocks and M80s, ICE deployed tear gas, now the National Guard is dispatched.
Hegseth has the Marines standing by, and the Insurrection Act will be next. This is what happens when we get violent before we have the numbers to fight. We’re fucked because people are acting on emotion and completely unaware that this is Trump’s Reichstag Fire.
Edit: Please share this.
Fascism will escalate regardless, in the absence of real resistance they will simply lie to justify doing what they were always planning to do anyway, passively accepting their actions will do nothing to help, resistance is the only correct answer and it will absolutely have to be violent
The VAST majority is peaceful. Many are throwing rocks. A few are taking even further.
I get that they’re pissed, but this isn’t the solution. Refusing to walk into a trap isn’t cowardice, it’s strategy.
You watched and learned nothing, resistance isn’t a trap and your passivity won’t save you
I never said resistance was a trap. I said violent resistance was. Violence will hand Trump his Reichstag Fire on a silver platter.
Nonviolent “resistance” is worthless, idk what part of “they will make shit up anyway” you’re not understanding
Trump is itching to enact the Insurrection Act. That will make growing our numbers far more difficult. Meanwhile, you’re advocating losing resisters to incarceration, scaring people back into their homes due to unsafe protest conditions, while giving Trump the justification he needs to strip our rights.
Do you always think with your feelings? You should try your brain. Logic and strategy know no cowardice. They only know how to outthink the opposition.
I keep seeing this, but I don’t know how much I’d trust another US government entity.
The GI Rights Hotline isn’t a government entity, it’s not like the Fraud Waste and Abuse hotline or anything. It’s a private coalition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GI_Rights_Network
Nice! I’m all for it then.
Split up, overwhelm the resources
Gorilla Protest Tactics.
You probably meant guerrilla protest tactics, but gorilla protest tactics invoke a hilarious mental image and if that’s the direction we want to go, I’m behind it.
Yeah I want to go ape shit!
Will LA be our Kent State? Will it matter?
I stand with LA.
What would happen if someone with a drone flew over and dumped a few gallons of gasoline on the group of ice? I bet they would leave. Pretty fast. Doesn’t even have to get lit, once you’re drenched in gas, you probably want to go change.
You underestimate how incredibly flammable gasoline is
I think you misunderstand. I just don’t actually care.
That’s understandable.
Just gotta take a cigarette first.
And it begins.
We should probably start doing a Lenin and wait on the Canadian border, and make our way in to direct the revolution when shit hits the fan
Remember, three 100-person protests are better than one 300-person protest.
Why wouldn’t he?
Americans will continue to put up a token resistance (at best) and then accept it as normal after a couple weeks.
