(150,716 posts)I'm sure you're right that many of those guys are misogynists. Incels, too. What happened to Renee Good also had to do with her attitude. Big tough guy didn't like her off-handed "I'm not mad at you, dude." So he killed her. What he said after that gives it all away.
Here's the thing: Those ICE thugs are ALL bullies. Some are meaner bullies than most people ever encounter. They're armed with deadly weapons. If you want to participate in protests where they might show up, keep your personal safety in mind at all times. Do not taunt them at close range. If you can, stay inside a crowd, rather than being at the front of the crowd. Don't challenge them as individuals. They have been shown that they can be brutal or even deadly with impunity.
I've been around for a very long time, and have a good deal of experience with street protests. This situation right now is beyond dangerous, and is not getting better. It's the nastiest bunch of "authority figures" I've ever seen. Never forget that the situation can become deadly in a split second. Don't provoke bullies with guns. It's never a good idea.
I'll stop right there. Take very, very good care!
