And this is why I'm strapped

[Aviation Pro]

A white guy was murdered by other white guys.

1. What good did it do him?

I ask seriously because unless you're in a Clint Eastwood movie, you're not stopping a gang of armed ICE thugs.

[Aviation Pro]

3. It's an option of last resort

These fuckers would have murdered him irrespective of whether he was armed or not.

2. Seems like they're going to use his legal right to carry as

their justification for murdering him...

6. Well THIS should open the eyes of the IDIOTS that are saying

Democrats want to take your guns away. (i've heard this many times) I've always said that when these fuckers accomplish what they intend to do, THEY will take all guns away from all of us.

[leftstreet]

7. Then they've just repealed the 2nd Amendment

Well, who knew the GOPers would be the ones to do that!

[MineralMan]

4. Strapped?

What kind of jargon is that? You mean you're armed all the time? Well, OK, then. Just say that. Saying you're "Strapped" doesn't really mean anything.

5. He was armed

Local police confirmed he is licensed to carry.
No weapon in his hand, cell phone in his right.
Reports say he had 9mm.
Probably informed nazi he was carrying, nazi over reacted.
Edit, local citizen interviewed at protest, saying he is carrying.

[MineralMan]

8. Yes, he was. Now he's dead.

Just being armed is useless. Dangerous, too.

[Ferryboat]

9. Not if your willing to die for your beliefs

The government has all the firepower.
If I decide to shoot back I fully expect to die in a hail of bullets.
Previous generations had there moment of truth when it came to defending this country. The time is coming when all of us will have to make the same decision to lay our life on the line.
History will judge our actions.

[MineralMan]

10. No. You only win if THEY die. Not you.

Think about the Revolutionary War. We won that because our men with firearms stood behind trees and shot the British soldiers.

You don't stand and fight. You hide and fight. The most basic of strategies.

[Ferryboat]

11. Very true

[Buckeyeblue]

13. That seems more like suicide than sacrifice

MN needs to protect its citizens with state and local police. And/or MN state guard. I would instruct these people to trail and swarm all ICE activity, help ICE targets get away, make sure ICE protesters are safe.

I think there is a lot they can do. And if ICE harms a police officer or someone from the guard, they are immediately arrested.

MN can put more boots on the ground than ICE can.
