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!
Has ice been in Indianapolis lately? They're not in every single city
I don’t give a fuck if it’s legal or not. Buy a gun.
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.
- 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?
- 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.
I can confirm you’re dropping this weird line of argument lol.
