    Killing just 1 healthcare CEO sent waves through that class of people. Maybe 1 instance of violence on ICE would not fix things but if Americans make ICE fear guerilla hit & run tactics, you could have ICE as scared as the guys clearing tunnels in Vietnam

        The IRA brought one of the most powerful governments to the negotiating table and they weren’t nearly as armed as the American people.

        No I’m Canadian and many of us fear we will have to rely on the same tactics if your country follows through on their threats to annex us.

          Your country is already doing the same tactics. Why aren’t you out there doing what you think needs to be done there? Your right wing is building up to be the US.

          We don’t discuss our tactics. They make geneva conventions once they know them.

          We’re burning the place for Sure this time, though, if we can get all the way to Florida.

      My assessment is that it would not. If you feel otherwise then feel free to act.

      I don’t think Luigi achieved much with what he did. He’s now in jail and UnitedHealth just hires someone else to do the same job. It’s also different because his act was not perceived as more personal than political. And it’s a lot harder for ordinary Americans to empathize with a rich ceo than working class ICE agents. A lot of Americans are waking up to the fact that ICE is the enemy but it’s still a minority. The reality is a lot of Americans personally identify with law enforcement and will feel attacked when they are attacked. This creates more reaction, violence and division when we really need people to be united.

      Propaganda of the deed tried and failed 100 years ago and I don’t think things are too different today.
