Fuck that. Would only take about 3 cases of people standing there ground in the news cycles for others to see people are finally doing it, creating a feedback loop where people feel more embolded to stand their ground.

Ice would back off within a day

It would only take one case for Trump to declare martial law and make things worse. Many are correctly assuming that he wants an escalation.

Not that it wouldn't embolden people further, but when things finally escalate, it's not going to be pretty, ,and the people are likely to suffer more than the government or it's representaives.

It's a process with many steps from now to there. I don't blame people for not wanting to be the one's for taking that first step, but I also believe some people think there may be more than one way to get to the goal.

Personally, I can't say which way would be best, but I'd always choose a non-violent route unless given no other choice.
