Minnesota handled it extremely well. I don't think you can give me examples where the populace used guns and it worked. I can give you tons of examples where it worked to get people to safety and help their community in LA and Minnesota.

saying this on a post directly referencing the black panthers doing exactly this -- using guns to resist an oppressive state -- is already very funny, but I suppose you also think the French resistance used, what, kind words to kill Nazis in WWII?

During the ICE occupation since trump took office, but you knew that. Times are little different than 60 years ago. I know you're trolling, last comment.

actually no, I can't read minds, but I'm flattered you think I can. For the future, you may want to try using your words instead of assuming people are psychic.

Nobody at present has yet bothered to even try, save for this article on the "Black Lion Party for International Solidarity" in Philadelphia. When they actually come into confrontation with the fascists and return fire, I'll be sure to give you an update.

I know you’re trolling, last comment.

that's fine, I accept your concession. better luck next time

Minnesota hasn’t handled it well at all, ICE are still out there abducting people off the streets.

“As far as Homan’s announcement of a drawdown, there’s no difference,” said Alex Falconer, a Democratic state representative for Minnetonka and Eden Prairie. “In fact, it’s become a little worse.”
