Armed protestors take to the streets and legally exercise their rights (Indianapolis, IN

And ICE left them alone.

Because the kind of people who join ICE are cowards who want to power trip on and abuse defenseless people.

Just remember -- if you're going to do this, bring friends!

One armed protester, the pigs will readily shoot as a 'valid target'. But if there are multiple armed protesters, the pigs know they can't shoot them all without any risk of return fire.

If you're going to open carry at a protest, bring at least 2 friends with you!

Buy and train with your guns. Armed minorities are harder to oppress. Armed resistance is necessary to protect our society.

Yes! Even if you can't own a gun for legal/moral/mental health reasons, you can still do training like this! If you're not going to be armed, you can at least make a field medic of yourself. And then, even without a gun, you could be immensely valuable to the cause.

Alex Pretti would like a word. Oh wait, he can't tell you what he knows.

I think there's a big difference between 1 person conceal carrying a handgun and a group of people open carring long guns

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

[-] CubitOom@infosec.pub 11 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] BigDiction@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

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?
