    PeeWee Himmler is a student of Nazi Germany, and expected that Americans would fold up like Germans still recovering from WW1. He thought that murdering a few people in the streets would intimidate the entire country into staying in their houses. He doesn’t understand that Americans grow up hearing fables of Revolutionaries whooping the most powerful army in the world.

    Americans don’t get intimidated, they get angrier, and eventually they get ferocious.

      Tbh a big portion is that we have nearly live coverage from a million different angles. Without that the newspapers would have said he was a domestic terrorist and we would have had no further information.

        Valid.

        It’s hard to convince us when we have footage from every angle, which is the reason for all these “auditors” with cameras, and also the reason that ICE Apes consider cameras almost as dangerous as guns.

        Minnesota is complaining that they can’t prosecute the killers without the evidence that DHS stole, but it seems to me that all the evidence they require is the many videos of each incident. Just play those for the jury, and they’ll convict.

      And then we take a song you wrote to mock us and sing it as a celebration of that time we kicked your ass.

      The club of those who beat us includes only three members, two of which were proxy wars we ultimately weren’t willing to commit to. Not exactly a record that screams “easy target”

      All they’re doing is pissing off the people who already have guns, while convincing their political rivals to start buying guns.
