    And you think people do feel safer now? That pea shooter in your belt gonna save you against fully armed and armored police and/or national guard who are being ordered to abuse citizens?

    The illusion of safety can be pleasant, but dangerous.

      Not worried about the cops or national guard or even ICE.

      Worried about the Gravy Seals who would shit themselves if they faced armed opposition.

        Gravy Seals

        I have no idea how prevalent or dangerous these people are and think they are not the biggest threat - why are you afraid of people who shit themselves?

          In Portland they were a HUGE problem, repeatedly, mostly because a) the cops were doing nothing about them and b) the cops were actively working with them.

          This year has been remarkably calm for some reason.
