First-person accounts of the attack and ISIS-style drive-through-a-crowd attack that ICE carried out can be found here:

      Except as soon as one person pops off, every cop with the state-funded military gear will indiscriminately return fire because they really really want to use all of their bullets at once then go home and beat their spouses on paid leave.

      This is California, the state with the strictest gun laws in the country on the books. You’re asking civilians with compliant arms to go up against literal military surplus equipment (provided through the 1033 program)?

      Also, nice bot username. Let’s see if you reply to any of the comments.

      These people are going in with armored vehicles, SWAT gear, and military equipment. A single vigilante isn’t going to do shit other than get murdered and probably get everybody around them shot as well. We have to be smart about this. We have to be organized.

      I’m not sure if you’re familiar with US politics, but the Venn diagram intersection of people who have advocated for civilian firearm ownership AND resisting stricter immigration laws is vanishingly small.

      Mostly Democrats are upset about the current ICE push, but they also spent the last several generations trying to eradicate civilian firearm ownership, particularly in California.

      I’m on the side of of both more guns AND due process, but it wasn’t until recently that I’ve noticed traditional lefties waking up to why the second amendment is important.

      My hope is that the left remembers this feeling the next time they’re in power.
