Feds Say They Won’t Comply
Then arrest them, Newsom.
Exactly.
Go on Newsom, get the LAPD and CHIPS to actually protect and serve.
This is why you’re allowed to deputize large amounts of people…
Very well then.
@JohnnyFlapHoleSeed@lemmy.world I hereby deputize you to go knock heads of any alleged Federal agent in violation of their oath to the constitution.
They can ignore it at their peril. Just because you’re a “Federal officer”, doesn’t mean you can break state law.
I cannot wait to see the video from a 3 AM no-knock raid on a hotel full of ICE fascists.
That would be wonderful, but I’m not holding my breath.
That would be justice through meaningful action, and considering it’s America, definitely do not hold your breath in anticipation.
That’s why you deputize large groups of coordinated citizens. They see a masked man who could be impersonating a federal agent, and that person refuses to provide ID? Several dozen shots fired by a dozen or more deputies.
Doesn’t sound like a crime was committed, does it?
A lot of well trained park rangers are needing something to do after Trump fired them…
^ Someone fucking gets it.
OK. Not Californian, but if I were, and saw someone getting kidnapped by masked men on the street, I am opening fire. Cops can’t legally be masked? Fine. Those masked men are criminals engaged in kidnapping. “How was I to know judge?”
Yes, I am well aware that the outcome would likely be my personal extinction, or life in a concrete and steel box. Not allowing the latter option. And all the authorities have demonstrated is, “Fight to the death or we’ll kill you.” Aight. I chose to die with my boots on.
I’m no warrior, a coward in many ways. But I’m well armed and practiced, shoot a few days a week with a variety of firearms. Have, let me count, uh, 4 guns within reach ATM. All guns I’ve worked with extensively, all with ammo attached or chambered. All reliable and most set for fighting in the dark, and I practice in the dark. (I have loads of guns just for fun, most are.)
I have a brown, legal, immigrant wife and I’ll not see her screaming and crying as masked fascists drag her away. I’d be shaking in my fucking boots, but at some point, someone has to say, “This will not stand.” Someone has to say, “I’ll die first.”
I think this means a lot in court if you are putting them under citizen’s arrest or calling the cops on them.
It’s easier to argue you thought it was cartels kidnapping someone if they aren’t even allowed to cover their face.
Love it. Lock the fascists up.
Fun times in the “land of the free” are about to get more fun.
I’d really love to know the punishment they’d face but I do love the idea of these SS cosplay assholes squirming while they try to decide if they’ll follow the ban or follow their dear leader.
That is one thing we have going for us over Germany in the 1930s. We have states that can fight back.
