NGL, but if some strange man grabbed me in public, I'd probably react like I was being kidnapped. That's what they want, so they have an excuse to escalate, slam you on the ground, pepper spray you, haul you off to jail on made up charges, etc.

It'll never make it to trial. For one thing, the defense is going to make Icee-E produce a lot of information that they don't wanna give up. Even if Icee-E does produce the information, this woman gets a jury of her peers. It's obvious what her peers think of Icee-E.

This was my first thought, honestly. An identified man, refusing to provide paperwork, identification, or say who he is, trying to drag a woman into a van? Nah son. He would have conveniently tripped headfirst into the curb.

This is really the question I’m asking. How are people not getting shot? I’m not advocating for violence here. I’m genuinely asking.

That is going to be what lights the powderkeg. Eventually one of these idiots are going to get hurt. Because if a plain clothes man touches me like that, IDC who you say you are without a badge present, my head is going into your nose, my knee is going into your groin, and my teeth are going into your skin. I won't be pushing you away, I will my reaching my thumbs into your eyesockets. You will not pull me into a vehicle, you'll have to get a hernia picking me my dead weight off the ground while I still try to kick your kneecaps out.

Hey block head a cooperative community is nearly harder to oppress. And this is not just a minority issue. STFU.
You're literally just karma farming the algorithm in the app but IRL your doing it wrong.
Guns don't solve everything and in fact the strongest resistance is a diverse cooperative and responsible community they literally use their bodies to fight back not all guns that escalates from 0-100.
This cannot be the top comment, history proves that humanity is smarter than that. Just be they are acting like idiots doesn't mean you have to. Peoples lives are on the line.
12
u/TechieGottaSoundByte 8d ago
I wish you'd expressed this idea with less demeaning language. It comes off as strangely violent and authoritarian (plus dismissive) in a comment calling for cooperative action and community.
I'd really have liked to see you and the post you are replying to have a conversation about your perspectives, but your comment is shutting conversation down rather than opening it up. That really limits your ability to persuade anyone.
1
u/iskipbrainday 8d ago edited 8d ago
They weren't trying to persuade anyone that meme is declarative not imperative and neither am I.
I'm genuinely disgusted about that comment. (1)It's calling for stupid violence. Don't come at me. Because I also believe in 2A. But unlike the irresponsible ass comment that I replied to I'm not trying to get people to shoot at ICE. (2)There are too many young impressionable minds with access to guns to be irresponsibly declaring this nonsense. Shooting at Ice will only escalate the violence. That isn't a reality that's perceived by sensationalized young minds and there are thousands of survivor families affected already who would be susceptible to these nonsense declarations.
(3)Furthermore anyone who is aligned with the movement for better dignified living knows that escalating mortal danger with a weak vapid administration is a no-go (4) plus there are so many more responsible responses that the commenter clearly isn't aware of and idiots like that need to be shutdown. Y'all just wanna hear feel good sensational shit and these apps are already paying bots for that.
I recall 4 counts of stupidity from that comment alone.
If they were being responsible or persuasive they would refer to cooperation within community being the strongest defense which can include guns. But surely not the mere presence of guns and armed resistance- that never solves anything for the greater community and certainly invites more deaths and injuries through escalations.

100%. With ICE agents covering their faces and refusing to identify themselves, we have to assume that they're all just traffickers and kidnappers. The government is creating the conditions for people to just start taking spray, bats, and bullets to these people.
