How can you watch your friends, family, and neighbours being executed in the streets only to buy a whistle and yell at them a bit. I get that you’re afraid; but at this point your desire to survive should overcome that fear… Yes, there’s the threat of Marshal law, but it’s being imposed on you whether they officially announce it or not. There are federal agents patrolling your streets arresting EVERYONE that’s not visibly white AND carrying papers, including 3yo children, and shipping them out of state faster than the courts can issue injunctions (even when moving as fast as possible with emergency hearings).
I’ve never seen a single ICE agent in my life (despite being in one of the top 3 states in terms of “undocumented” immigrants). So I’d imagine a lot of it is simply an “out-of-sight, out-of-mind” for a lot of people. It may be the case that Alex was the only person armed with a gun at that scene (other than ICE, if you consider those people).
You’re being kidnapped and summarily executed. This will not end until you fight it off.
Agreed. I know when things escalate, I’m certainly in the group who’ve they’ve been building lists for as someone they consider an undesirable. I consider trying to flee, but I think partly there’s still a side of me that wants to believe it won’t get to that point so I can just get through living day to day.
