    Got it, no reason to not be violent now.

    Since your life is forfeit either way.

      One of the guys shot one of the ICE agents and they gave him 100 years.

      Ultimately I agree with you, but still.

        The rest who didn’t shoot an ICE agent got 50 years minimum by that headline. Perverse incentives are now in force: it’s better to shoot them all in the hopes of there being no witnesses left behind than it is to be peaceful. Not a whole lot of difference between being stuck in the slammer for half a century vs. a whole century.

            ACW v2.0 has been brewing since at least the '90s. Probably much earlier, but the '90s was when I went Down South for a job interview and got the USA’s vibes and newped the fuck out.

        Don’t get caught, don’t act recklessly if your going to try pulling stuff like that.

      I hope we do not get pulled into any war, let it be the second US civil war or Trump’s extra middle east war. If either of those wars get worse I see a whole lot of trouble.
