Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I'm so tired of this bullshit response. It's like watching sports and saying what you'd do in that situation when you have no idea what you are talking about. What the fuck are they supposed to do? Anything they do besides protest will put their lives immediately in danger and they could potentially die. Believe it or not, most people don't want to die. That's kinda the whole point of these protests. None of us want to die or get kidnapped.
I get it, we are all angry and this is all bullshit. But I'm so tired of people saying "yeah but I'd fight back and you should too" while most never even go to protests. Stop shaming people for not doing what you want to see them do with the buffer of your phone screen. You are basically saying "yeah but why didn't you die for them?" While you sit on the fucking toilet.
Sure thing keyboard warrior. I bet you feel like such a touch guy as you do jack shit about it. At least these people are protesting while you sit behind a screen and explain why other people need to make sacrifices for you like you are the main character.
Don't feed the trolls. It's a brand new account
You do it, tough guy. Some people are risking a bit just to protest to make these scumbags know they aren’t welcome. They aren’t all ready yet to throw their lives away starting a war with the Stasi.
But the war is already here. Ice got chased out of a restaurant be hecklers…. So heckle them out of an abduction.
I agree generally. The question, though, of when to act has a different answer for each person’s context.
The protestors getting violent is the end goal for the current regime.
All it would take is one ICE agent seriously injured or dead by the hands of the protestors, and marshall law would be called.
Elections would be cancelled, as "America is under attack, and needs a strong leader".
Also ICE currently seems to lack any accountability, I would not want to be detained by an organization like that.
They don’t need us to get violent. They’re planning martial law anyway. The idea that they won’t do anything unless we act bad is hilarious
Protestors remaining docile and submissive, especially thru social media posts like this one, are the end goal of the regime. Martial law would be a shitshow and hurt the regime more than the resistance.
ICE travels in packs for that reason. They also avoid dense areas to keep the numbers on their side. I generally agree with you, but there's a lot of nuance like who is actually present at these confrontations. A lot of times is the suburbs and there's really not enough people around to have an effective people defense.
Easy block candidate right here, folks.
Will you?
you are such a pussy
Why is that?
