The protests should dress like and arm themselves like ICE agents. Confuse them. LeftInTX Jul 2025 #7

The opposite also applies. Only a matter of time before a jack-booted thug gets shot. I’m an old disabled liberal and I’m considering arming up. If I were an able bodied testosterone overflowing young man I would already be learning to use a sniper rifle. Oh and maybe I would get a silencer once the new budget bill kicks in and save $200 on the excise tax. Just got to find me a good perch.

Rip 'em off first thing.
While hands are full, from the side, the back, anywhere it can be reached.

The Admin is provoking LA & SF deliberately. Most of these protestors are trying to block the vehicles, I know.

The attack on the ICE facility is being blamed on Antifa.

This is the Alvarado TX "ambush" incident on July 4. A cop got shot.

Who they are, what their motive was, I can't find that info yet. Most "are from North Texas", meaning Dallas/Ft Worth. The mugshot I saw is a gangly white kid.

The Right Wing is spiking the ball blaming Antifa.
