    If you have a right to vote, and some ICE thugs try to stop you, kill them. They are committing a crime worthy of death.

      “The tree of liberty must be watered regularly with the blood of tyrants and patriots.” - Thomas Jefferson

      I hope one day we can form a society that will prove Mr. Jefferson to be incorrect…

        My correction: “watered with the blood of patriots, and fertilized by the flesh of tyrants.”

        We should kill the bastards, and live out our best lives long after.

        Fucking inhuman monster like the rest of the blood thirsty founding fathers. Garbage oligarchy from the start.

        Unfortunately, most of the polling places in my state (and probably many others) are conveniently located at schools, libraries, or other government buildings which have long since been declared Gun Free Zones.

        You’d get arrested just for showing up. Otherwise you’d all have to mill around outside the property line which in most cases would be quite some distance away, where you can be safely ignored and/or not be able to see anything that may be going down inside anyway. And the “gun free zones” around schools specifically here extend for quite some distance away from the school property itself, IIRC several hundred yards.

          Great point. Maybe the legal observer and whistle approach, coupled with a de-arresting strategy would work? Im just throwing ideas out there. We need to be thinking and acting now to be ready come Nov.

            I’m wondering what people think this “de-arresting strategy” is supposed to look like, exactly.

            If you think you’re going to get anyone who’s just been kidnapped out of the back of the black SUV, you’re going to need to turn up with more guys than they’ve got at minimum, and very quickly.

          I think a fair number of folks would be alright with local parents bringing their guns to their kid’s school, if it keeps children from being snatched by masked men in vans.

          Armed checkpoints might also work against ICE traffickers getting to the voting stations. Masked, wrong plates, or not part of the security force? Citizen’s arrest.
