Presumably, the courthouse is filled with cops and others with arrest authority, so why did they allow two men in plainclothes without badges or warrants leave with two people?
If the DOGE pirates had been gunned down in the first lobby the invaded, it would have ended there, or at least gone down a different path.
We should not be normalizing this behavior, and setting precedents. Without a badge, you will not be listened to, and you will leave the building immediately. Without a warrant, you will not be putting your hands on any person. If you attempt to bypass either requirement, you will be arrested. And if you attempt to do enforce your demands by force, you will be shot.
I wish they did have the guts to shoot the DOGE team. Especially since the DOGE goons have literally dragged people out and probably physically assaulted others.
On the plus side, if anybody reading this ever has reason to think that they might need to go into a police station and remove someone being held there, apparently if you and a friend or two look sufficiently the part, you can just walk in, in plainclothes, and claim to be Homeland Security, and just... take a dude and leave.
I mean, isn't this the exact scenario they wrote in the Second Amendment for? Can't say this reaction is surprising given it's at the roots of the country and extensively defended by the Founding Fathers
Yeah, to some things they are
No, they haven’t helped either.
When they are disappearing people with no due process, the only logical response is violence. Gtfo of here with that dumb shit.
I think I'm going to have to seriously think about packing heat on regular basis for the exact scenario the 2nd amendment was written to cover.
Not a bad idea, at this point. Just keep it at home, and only have it to defend yourself or others. It is always morally correct to stop a Gestapo agent through any means necessary.
I've been seeing "Americans are pussies for not rising up" and "you won't vote yourselves out of this situation" on here for months… Which is it? Make up your fucking mind, internet.
It's just the normal anti-American sentiment from fringe idiots around the globe. Anything that has to do with America or the people from there are bad, evil, and needs to be shunned and mocked. Don't give this guy any weight as a popular opinion from the internet.
If you didn't notice, I'm of the same opinion on this point! Learn to read, please.
It's pretty clear, you just have no functioning ability to reason.
Ladies and gents. Someone with no critical thinking skills. Dumbass.
It has nothing to do with "chosen" and everything to do with common sense. Wtf would YOU do if a couple of dudes came up to you neighbor, grabbed them and walked off with no explanation or identification? Just shrug, and go about your day? Because that's what you're insinuating with this idiotic line of reasoning you're going down.
And you ignore the question. Further proving how dumb you are.
Cowardly response.
perhaps you should actually read what he said there instead of jumping to insane conclusions
If you actually read the second amendment, its whole purpose is to keep the government in check.
Yeah, funny how the boot lickers forget their whole wet dream of being the ones that rise up, means they need to rebel against the tyrant Trump and his dumbshit sycophants.
That's what we are fighting against, idiot.
When you're acting like an uneducated troglodyte, you will be treated as such. That's not a uniquely American trait, but you're welcome to continue wasting air trying to make that statement.
Shut up.
Only if you promise to behave.
I knew you lack critical thinking skills, but I didn't realize you were also suffering from short-term memory loss! I'm so sorry for your condition. Is it difficult living after the lobotomy?
Imagine trusting the government this much
