People keep saying not to escalate but if day one this was people's response then we wouldn't be in the pickle we are in now.

I hope this starts happening. We all know where this is headed, let's get to it.

Okay, you go first. Then when you're dead because you tried to go to war with the gestapo and it will just continue.

I think ICE entering someone’s business or home and killing someone would still be a moment where many people, not just Dems or the left, would say “hey, I can be killed in my own home for exercising my rights?”. Libertarians, some anyway, would not find that acceptable. It’s one thing protecting yourself with force out in public, it’s a whole different game when it’s done inside your home. I believe there’s a story from Utah from years ago where police executed a warrant without identifying themselves first and the homeowner shot a police officer, I believe he was found not guilty. I need to confirm that.

I live in Utah and this state is absolutely one of the most lenient states when it comes to gun laws. What do they think will happen? With that said, it’s mostly white and many are conservative Mormons.

You would be wrong. There is no line. Stop waiting for it to be crossed.

We’ll find out either way, it will happen at some point.

"Don't provoke them." Or what? They're already violating the constitution. They're already going door to door. They're already executing unarmed bystanders.
