    You can imagine being freed from a concentration camp but can’t imagine successful community defense.

    Cops don’t want to die in a hail of bullets either. There are more of us than them.

      It’s purely a numbers thing. You shoot at a cop and you die. You go in a concentration camp and you might die. Even if it’s very likely, just personally speaking, I’d take that over certain death.

        The important part is to not be the only person with the gun around. Personal defence won’t do much but community defense might.

        But seriously. Nobody is coming back from El Salvador. If ICE comes for you you might as well take one with you.

        It’s OK to not want to harm another person. Another thing that may be more important is to prepare yourself to handle some intense questioning along with threats of winding up in a place like that (if you think your chances are better in there). I’m not judging you but don’t be a rat

        Some things are worse than death and can be sustained without any form of honesty or due process right here in the United States
