(2,066 posts)You have these large groups of mostly poorly trained wannna be tough guys, heavily armed with full auto weapons, facing off with large crowds of very vocal protesters. It doesn't matter how it starts. Someone on either side fires off a round. Or just a large fire cracker pops. Then one of the ICE toughs pulls the trigger. And then it's what my old man use to call buck fever sets in. They all start firing until they run out of ammunition. We've all seen it with police shootings. Everyone of those weapons has a 30 round magazine. I will just let you imagine what the carnage will look like. And it will all be videoed and broadcast to the world live in real time.
There will be no way the MAGAts can spin that. I'm not sure what the reaction will be. People will certainly be horrified. It might trigger further violence. Trump could blame the protesters and declare martial law. Or those that have the power to stop all this might find sufficient courage to rise up in righteous anger to disband ICE and the rest of these paramilitaries and prosecute all of the guilty parties. I would hope for the latter.
I'm with MCE. I don't want to see anything like this happen. But right now I feel like it's close to inevitable.
