Look At That Crowd That Has Assembled In Minneapolis......

[global1]

I'm almost surprised that none of them are carrying pitchforks and torches.

It's really a credit to them and those State and City leaders that told them that they need to protest peacefully.

1. Unfortunately, that protest will do nothing to stop ICE from murdering someone else tomorrow.

Look, I'm not saying I have an answer, there probably isn't one. There almost certainly isn't an answer which is both palatable and possible.

But peaceful protests don't do shit when you are dealing with psychos. Which we are.

[choie]

2. Totally agree.

Candlelight vigils are lovely, but do diddley.

[global1]

6. I'd Still Would Rather Call It A Candlelight Vigil Or A Memorial Service versus A Protest.......

I'm hoping that the woman that was murdered by ICE becomes the rallying around point person that will ultimately bring down Tr**p, ICE and his criminal minions.

11. PROTEST is what the Trump cabal is doing, right?

Protesting decency, equality, compassion, the rule of law, democracy... Every day, in every way they can.

==================

4. It shows that we are not alone

That we have not all gone crazy or silent in the face of fascism.

15. Proves you're not alone.

And you're not cowering thinking nothing can be done. Sorry, but I don't like defeatist attitudes. Only one's thing for certain with that attitude. You WILL be defeated.

17. the target is not the psychos

everybody knows the psychos could care less and are oblivious.

The protests are for other targets and reasons. Among them:

a) show other citizens in Minnesota and the nation that there are people of conscience who are saying this is not OK; that ICE egregiously crossed the boundary.

b) show other countries that Americans vehemently object to trump policies. For this, I, a citizen of NJ, am very grateful.

c) to express their Constitutional right to speech.

d) to express feelings of justifiable outrage.

e) gain the support of other citizens and get more people to join

These are just a few.

Your comment trivializes what these citizens have done.

Furthermore, your comment suggests that you think people should do nothing because protests don't affect psychos. What do you recommend people do?

If there are no protests, then what a bonanza for trump and ICE. Do you think that's right?

3. Another good photo.......

There is currently an enormous protest in the streets of Minneapolis in response to the murder there today by the American Gestapo, ICE. I take some comfort in this.

7. TY..... it's hard to tell from that pic but I

Appreciate the BlueSky post from Mrs. Betty Bowers.

I don't have a TY.. I was hoping for a photo.. I'm sure it will be coming.

8. That looks like a hell of a lot more than the 2000 ice agents dipshit sent.

WE THE PEOPLE.
Ya go ahead Donnie, PISS us off.

14. People should know that is a residential intersection, not a large area.

Which makes the crowd size all the more impressive.

9. K&R

[Takket]

10. FUCK ICE All the way to hell, and every single Nazi piece of shit that empowers them

I wish all of them nothing but misery for the rest of their pathetic lives, especially the murderer who i hope rots in prison.

[iemanja]

16. and the MAGATs who justify murder.

[Torchlight]

12. A sincere statement of belief and declaration of righteous intent

is something I'll never minimize or trivialize (or try to interpret literally).

[BradBo]

13. Trumps trying to cause unrest to stop the midterms.
