Is ICE even there in the first place? This is an unconfirmed video.

  1. A problem doesn't have to exist in a place before people protest.
  2. ICE is everywhere. Do a simple internet search
  3. What do you mean when you say that the video is unconfirmed?

  • The protesting isn't the problem. The encouragement of having guns is.
  • Yeah, it does look like they're still in Indianapolis. I thought they pulled out. My bad.
  • That video looks weird to me. Watch in the middle, the people look disjointed. It could be a higher res than I'm used to too, so it looks weird. I would like others to confirm it.

I support the encouragement of people to exercise their constitutional rights. The same way that doctor Martin Luther King Jr did.

He was not allowed by the state to purchase a firearm himself, but he did hire armed men from the Deacons for Defense and Justice to help protect protests.

Absolutely fucking not. The encouragement of having guns is the solution.

I can confirm you’re dropping this weird line of argument lol.

Encouraging people to protest armed fascists unarmed. I wonder what kind of person (fascist) would recommend that?
