“whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
-Preamble to the Declaration of Independence (of the United States of America)
And doing nothing when someone is violently assailing you seems like it would carry consequences of its own. I’m not advocating that we meet violence with murderous retribution, but when diplomacy fails and someone intends to cause you harm no matter what you do, defending yourself is the only reasonable course of action.
Violence begets more violence. This isn’t the way.
Just passively get into the van please.
Says person whose rights have all been secured via violence.

Empty platitudes. Pacifism doesn’t work on Nazis. Mandalorianism though…
So they’ll just get to kill us without consequence. Fucking awesome
And us killing them comes without consequences?

If you view ICE as zombies that can think, it gets a lot easier.
They think?? You might be giving them to much credit
I most heartily agree it’s simply senseless and cruel to brutalize other humans, cut their throats wide better to put them down like rabid dogs.
