    I wonder what ratio of protesters + guns is enough to deter ICE.

    Like if there was only 1 person there with a semi automatic shotgun, how much more likely are they to attempt something illegal than if there was 20.

    If that ratio could be figured out, then it’d be easier to coordinate and ensure enough armed people are everywhere.

    Much love to my ML comrades in the BPP. Will be interesting to see if the YLO, AIM, or other groups from the Rainbow Coalition experience a similar revival or are simply reincarnated in spiritual successor groups. Either way, now’s the time.

    Black Americans are the only demographic that massively voted against the pedonald. They are responsible of almost everything americans takes pride in. In music, they invented blues, rock, jazz, techo, hip-hop and much more. In sports, they are the top athletes in many disciplines. In politics, you may not be a fan of Obama’s politics overall, but he was by far the least crazy president USA had over the past 40 years. All of this while being treated as sub-citizens.

    I know one thing that ICE doesn’t: never fuck with anyone from Philadelphia. I learned that lesson long ago. They do not fuck around.

        I imagine you heard about the MOVE bombing once and assumed most Philadelphia residents supported and still support it.

        Look up a racial demographic survey for Philadelphia sometime.

    When the Black Panthers started protecting citizens in California back in the 60s and 70s, the Republicans all of a sudden got really on-board with gun restrictions. Funny how that works.

        that is genuinely how gun control works here. our government makes sure white terrorists have as many guns as they want, but that the people they are terrorizing don’t have the means to protect themselves

    The normal speed version definitely a lot better than the sped up version in the post, thanks for including that link.

    They will come for their leadership just like they did in the 60’s. I hope they are prepared.

    RIP Chairman Hampton.

    This is how civil war starts and how fascism will be defeated.

      The way ICEtapo operates right now doesn’t leave them much room for escalation, they’re already cranked fascism up to eleven. They will come for everyone sooner or later unless stopped. There is still hope that it can be done legislatively, but I don’t have a lot of faith in Americans anymore.

    The Black Panther party for self defense. We’re the same panther party from back in the day. Just a little more aggressive

    Hell yeah brother
