Why should protesters and ICE agents be subject to different rules?

They shouldn’t. Just like if the only size firearm magazine I can buy holds a paltry substandard ten rounds by law, then that’s all Law Enforcement and even the military should be allowed.

Which we know will never happen.

My point being that this shit isn’t new, and remains wrong.

Americans cannot afford to do these jobs.

That job won’t pay my mortgage, my bills, support my family, or provide health insurance for us.

And even if it did, jobs like that are seasonal so if by some miracle it did provide all I need, it wouldn’t do it year round and golly, would you look at that, my bills don’t take the growing season off.

At one point I knew someone from a small town in Northern California where most people in the town worked for an industry like this - picking, driving, processing the stuff that was grown (I don’t remember what the crop was). The only people who weren’t directly involved provided services to those who were, working government or retail jobs in the town.

When it wasn’t picking season, most of the town was on welfare.

Thugs who cover their faces at asylum hearings which cannot be considered a tactical situation in any way need to be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Chickenshit motherfuckers.

In fact that goes for any sort of legal proceeding.

Gen-X here.

I grew up on my boomer parents stories of what polio was like when they were kids, knowing people in iron lungs, and then what it was like when the vaccine was developed and made available.

I adore vaccines and think that anyone who doesn’t is unworthy to continue breathing. I do not and will not apologize for that, because I’m right.

Hey dumbass, it turns out that:

1. Each state has its own laws about this. Where I live the same state constitution that ALSO specifically grants us the right to own firearms for self defense explicitly forbids belonging to any private militia.

2. My part (Democrats) is so overwhelmingly anti gun that 99% of aren’t armed to begin with. So precious militia you’re smugly pretending to ask about? Yeah you’re looking at them in the post to begin with. They’re all boot licking fascists.

Nice try though, pretending disarming Americans is the answer to anything other than more deportations, more oppression, and so on.

I’ll give you this: literally neither side gives a shit about the actual underlying problem: mental health. Over half of ALL gun deaths in the USA each year are from suicide. You don’t need an AR15 for that. Banning and removing all guns successfully won’t stop all those people wanting to be dead, but my fellow Democrats don’t care and the fascists sure don’t.

They look like criminals with zero indication as to any authority. Not uniforms, no badges.

This nation needs to make it physically unsafe to be in such a state.

If those were medical masks it would be different: my buddy’s wife is immune compromised so he wears a mask when out and about as do I when we’re together. That ain’t this.

Jokes on them I’ve basically stopped buying video games.

I used to love spacex- no longer. You all know why.

I’d go with racism, sexism, not being a cult leader like figure unlike her opponent, and a bunch of people who’ve bought way too far into putting Palestine first over their own nation being convinced it to vote for her.

And, possibly (there’s a lawsuit) an actually rigged election.

I voted for her.

We didn’t attack Iran so it doesn’t matter what we think. Presumably Israel thought they were.

This is (was?) known as asymmetric warfare - their IEDs, our drones.
