That phase makes sense if you are the one to originally say something, which is imagine long-living vampires would have to deal with more than usual. Still there are RL examples like that one person who got a rejection for their paper by reviewer two who said they needed to account for the work of [insert name of the researcher who submitted the paper].

Also, if the garbage truck is hit by another normal car, its heavy enough to barely budge, so doing the same off a car going the same speed would still be more dangerous.

Being an adult sounds like it sucks.

Was this burning while a single person was driving and being pulled over at gunpoint?

Takes a lot longer and you risk burning your car down when you get yanked out and they don’t care.

And if they resist (being alive counts as resistance) and are armed (or were armed at some point in the recent past), ICE has suggested a method for handling those “arrests.”

What actions of a lifetime are you (Bill, not OP) suggesting to stop ICE?

That’s like claiming using the n-word to refer to someone of recent African decent isn’t a slur because you are using the word “correctly” and that it would only be a slur if used for people who aren’t black.

And media and people have celebrated such bombing, even when they killed children and burned down entire blocks of people uninvolved.

How can you watch your friends, family, and neighbours being executed in the streets only to buy a whistle and yell at them a bit. I get that you’re afraid; but at this point your desire to survive should overcome that fear… Yes, there’s the threat of Marshal law, but it’s being imposed on you whether they officially announce it or not. There are federal agents patrolling your streets arresting EVERYONE that’s not visibly white AND carrying papers, including 3yo children, and shipping them out of state faster than the courts can issue injunctions (even when moving as fast as possible with emergency hearings).

I’ve never seen a single ICE agent in my life (despite being in one of the top 3 states in terms of “undocumented” immigrants). So I’d imagine a lot of it is simply an “out-of-sight, out-of-mind” for a lot of people. It may be the case that Alex was the only person armed with a gun at that scene (other than ICE, if you consider those people).

You’re being kidnapped and summarily executed. This will not end until you fight it off.

Agreed. I know when things escalate, I’m certainly in the group who’ve they’ve been building lists for as someone they consider an undesirable. I consider trying to flee, but I think partly there’s still a side of me that wants to believe it won’t get to that point so I can just get through living day to day.

I use cli just for making virtual mics and audio sinks and for .jar, so things people who are afraid of cli probably wouldn’t even consider doing. Currently using bazzite. The immutable nature make it annoying when you want to do some things via cli that don’t work like they would in vanilla fedora, but that doesn’t seem like it would be a problem for someone who doesn’t want to use cli. Bazzite includes bazaar for accessing flatpaks and works fine usually.

^ this person second amendments!

0. You can see them take his gun and ran away with it before any shots are fired. They waited until he was disarmed to murder.

Perhaps wants ineffective violence. He doesn’t want violence at a scale that’s a legitimate threat to him.

What is it then? 100k+ people should exist 24/7 around the entire nation on each block?

Tyranny is when people have pronouns or vaccines.

What are you fucking doing, America?

We’re being murdered?

There was. And then they left ICE intact, which then found a spot the next morning with maybe a dozen or people and did a murder.

Pretty sure they did have 100k+ people yesterday at least. Maybe not yet this early, but 100k people does not mean much when the organized violent thugs just wait until they can find people away from the large crowds and murder them on the street.

Curious how many people have done something like that before sound machines and fans. Granted, there’s plenty of natural outdoor noise in many places, so probably unnecessary.
