      If they wear masks and don’t identify themselves they are simply a criminal, and you can stand your ground.

        That’s why we haven’t seen these cowards in Oklahoma. We are allowed to open carry without a license and can stand our ground here. Just waiting for one of these fucks to try this shit here. They will need to bring body bags.

          The only problem with that sort of bravado is that the ICE agents are seldom alone, and it’s a fair bet there are even more waiting as backup in vehicles nearby. If somebody starts shooting at one of them it’s going to stir up a huge hornets nest that will likely result in a significant number of casualties.

          Edit: Oh, and ICE has indeed been operating in Oklahoma to some extent since at least April.

          They’ve been in Oklahoma. That being said 11 (?) people just straight attacked ICE in Texas, and I can’t imagine that won’t start catching on more.

          Same in Florida but without open carry. It’s on the table, but probably won’t fly. Who knows. I didn’t care until the Gestapo deployed to non-armed cities and states. Now I fucking want it.

        It’s kinda hard when they are packing more heat and military equipment. Also let’s be honest, if a single protestor shoots back, it will end up in a massacre.

      IIRC, ICE has been told to stay away from neighborhoods that are a bit rough. The American Gestapo are turning the projects into the safer neighborhoods for anyone with skin darker than a suntan.

      I think there’s a widespread feeling of anticipation among these groups and other organized factions. Once the first domino falls, it’s going to snowball quickly imo. We haven’t really had the first big incident, but with the almost $200B influx in funding and a seeming lack of willing and capable boots for recruitment, i suspect it will happen quite soon.
