The Coming Troubles

Kristi Noem appearing behind a podium sign “One of ours All of yours” is an open threat to kill protestors. That statement is associated with the Nazi policy of murdering an entire village if one person committed an act of violent, active resistance.

If an ICE agent is injured or killed I don’t expect the Feds to murder the entire population of Minneapolis. What I do expect them to do is open fire on protestors, something along the lines of Bloody Sunday in Northern Ireland, or worse, the Tlatelolco massacre in Mexico in 1968 in which hundreds of protestors were machine gunned down, estimates ranging from 300 to 500 dead.

This will not bring the compliance they are looking for. This will bring a low-intensity civil war along the lines of the Irish Troubles. MAGAts who don’t read history but believe they are history don’t get that. Yet.
