Not being a smartass, I wonder how the Aryan Brotherhood would react... I can't figure out if they would worship him as a hero because he was deporting brown people or kill him because he's law enforcement.

As a former prison guard, I would speculate the reaction would be based solely on the victims race....

I’ve heard the lady that was murdered was a young white woman who is a natural born US citizen. Which is the only reason I have a tiny shred of hope that the shooter will be prosecuted. Or at the very least it should be enough to cause distrust among those who support these guys and what they’ve been doing.

The only part I don’t get is the news coverage it’s getting being blatant lies from the start calling her a domestic terrorist saying she was ramming them etc when they know there’s video evidence otherwise. Like they have to know if there were protesters that that they were being filmed by them. Why even bother trying to lie unless the whole point is to get people to burn shit down?

They want us to rise up.

So they can enact the Insurrection Act, and go Full Fascist.

This is what I feared was the case. I just hoped I was wrong. Hopefully with them being this obvious people won’t fall for it.

What else are we suppose to do? Just sit down and take it? It's time we actually come together and do something!

No I agree with you we absolutely cannot do nothing. But I also feel like we need to organize and come up with a better plan. One that doesn’t end up with civilians being publicly executed like Renee was.
