(14,923 posts)You say you would have "resisted." Please describe that, in terms of actual words and actions. Would you have tried to prevent ICE agents from siezing and detaining the residents?
How? What are the chances you would have succeeded, as opposed to becoming a victim yourself?
We're talking about neighbors awakened in the middle of the night. People who have jobs in the morning, rent to pay, families to feed.
And they didn't do nothing. We know many of the detals of what happened because neighbors talked to reporters.
Perhaps if hundreds more neighbors in the middle of the night flooded the streets and surrounded the ICE agents, they might have prevented the abductees from being taken away in vans.
Setting aside the extreme unliklihood of such a coordinated effort with no advance notice in the middle of the night, the heavily armed ill-trained young men in combat gear might have reacted with deadly violence.
Raise your hand if you want to be thusly martyred.
And also to spark more violence, which is what Trump wants.
