The only disappointing part of the article is that the 2 brown shirts continued to live.

I still think about this scene a lot because I've been there sheen relatively normal people casually talked about going to cities and shooting "democrats“ while also talking about the guns they were currently buying. I should have turned them in.

I should have turned them in.

And put yourself on the list to be visited by "ICE."

I have too many family members who are Leo, plus other reasons why they shouldn't do that. Plus it would be homeland security or FBI for various other reasons. But it could be ICE because I know a lot of immigrants. It would be a clusterfuck.

I wonder if the director told that actor "have, just, the worst trigger discipline. Make it look like you have no business handling a firearm."

[–] duhbasser@lemm.ee 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

In the movie this is right after he executes 2 Chinese journalist, so lack of trigger discipline kinda makes sense. Oh and he’s about to try to execute a bunch more people in the up coming moments

[–] miraclerandy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Agreed. Dude was unhinged and didn’t give a fuck about any of that in this scene. Which obviously made it more tense

[–] The_Caretaker@lemm.ee 11 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

They could be ICE, they could also be the KKK.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 12 minutes ago

Indeed, my thoughts exactly.

So how long until real criminals start following suit and impersonating undercover ICE agents? Not like there's much distinction between either "career" now, is there?

And then how long until ICE agents start showing up with holes on the ground because property owners "thought" they were real street thugs trying to rob them? Is there even a way to tell the difference? ~wink wink~

Should happen more often, this aversion to civil violence is a bit like a game of "I drop my weapon, you drop yours" between governments and people, except governments never fulfill their part.

Like Russian opposition trying to do "everything by the law" until realizing the other side never was, it was just silent enough in killing and randomly vanishing people and pretending its just dumb thieves. The same is happening in the EU right now, they just don't know it yet.

He didn't ever say that, actually. It was likely first said by an activist in New Zealand https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jefferson-injustice-resistance-quote/
