    So why do you film it? How about you just shoot at them? Or wrestle them? You outnumber them easily. Bunch of scared chicken letting fascists treat you like shit. That’s why shit like that would never work in Europe. We’d beat the shit out of those fascists.

      They can’t shoot back in Illinois because it’s incredibly difficult to obtain a firearm and carry license there. They voted themselves into being a largely disarmed populace and left themselves defenseless

        A FOID card is stupid easy to get. I haven’t tried to get a CCL because Chicago doesn’t allow them on public transit and quite frankly, I don’t want to be a target if something were to happen.

        No one is shooting back. Because no one wants to be the martyr, no one wants to be the first, most people really want to try and avoid bloodshed. You have a fascist paramilitary force that sees violence as a means to achieve their goals and the majority of the population who is trying to fight to keep people safe because their morals and ethics abhor violence. People are really trying to avoid kicking off martial law and the insurrection act. Because while most people wouldnt consider it insurrection, this administration is willing to twist anything as much as they can.
