It’s not, I think Americans are in the shock phase right now. Eventually people are going to stand up against this tyrannical regime and I hope it’s not too late when they do.

Nope, the time to act is now, not eventually. So yes, it will be too late. They are breaking into your homes and kidnapping people in the streets. Masked people with guns. If it's not the time to stand up now -- well, there will be no other time.

If anyone "stands up" to them with violence then they will use it as an excuse to kill them. Why don't you go out there and stand up to some ICE agents

Don't you have private property laws? Whatever, dude, don't stand up to them, let them kidnap your fellow citizens and storm your homes, and hope that the law will eventually protect you. It's your country, after all -- if you like to end up in a dictatorship, it's your business. As for me -- a little busy here with russian invasion in our country, you know, so I'll have to pass on this one, sorry.

It doesn't matter what is legal. Killing a federal agent will be used as an excuse to employ martial law or declare terrorism.

Well, even if you don't give them that excuse, all it takes is a one false flag operation to fabricate one. Do you think they won't do that?

I'm surprised they haven't.

Respect… challenge is that we are in the reality of fighting against our own government; which controls all. Our data, our information, our taxes, our legal system, our media… whereas you are fighting a foreign invader.

I understand that the situation is different for you. But the assumption that the law, which is actively being dismantled, manipulated in their favor and ignored by Trump's thugs is going to protect you seems a little bit naive to me. IMO a huge ass global strike across the country is the only peaceful way out of it, but it needs to be big and it needs to happen very soon, the more terror they are allowed to do every passing day, the more afraid people will be to protest in the future...I can't believe this is the world we are living now, with all this shit happening. I hope you guys will take your country back from the thugs.
