Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

And who decides 'reasonable threat'? The people who are joking along with you on preddit or the people locking you in the Epstein cell temporarily until your tria-- ohhh, nevermind.
Note to Canadians: armed American federal cops have come to major Canadian cities to arrest Canadians for something illegal in America but not illegal here - like selling hemp seeds were - and taken them to America for processing. It's fucked up.
Legitimately, do you have a source/example?
Marc Emery jumps to mind first, but admittedly that was selling seeds with some evidence of cross-border sales, and IIRC he was arrested by the RCMP and Halifax Police Department, though acting on a warrant from the Western District of Washington. If there was another mid- to high-profile case like that, especially if American enforcement made the arrest on Canadian soil [edit: or if this is about Emery and I'm missing some key details] I 100% want to learn more.
I'm not saying these people don't deserve it, but what good does it do? Wouldn't it be better to, IDK, kidnap them in order to exchange them for actual human rights? Like, giving away your freedom and potentially your life in exchange for a bill for a public health system?
You're actually correct, civil resistance is actually the most potent force:

The original suggestion certainly seems like a way for a single person to have more impact.
My understanding is there are marginal cases where violence is the answer, but I suspect this isn't one of them because of succession.
It’s important to set achievable goals! There are plenty of republicans in your local area.
I'm guessing the black SUVs are en route.
For anti-DEI purposes, they don't send black SUVs anymore.
