    If you are non-white in the US, you should be carrying around a replica grenade when you leave the house, and if they gestapo try to grab you can try to bluff your way back to safety.

    I’m only joking a little.

      Hell, at this point if you’re non-white or an any-race non-Trump supporter. You’re the enemy and a criminal if you’ve ever spoken out against the administration, Israel, or for equal rights, etc.

        To that I say: come at me assholes

        I’m a standard-issue white dude, I know my voice will be heard, so I speak out against this bullshit whenever and wherever I can.

          This. White people need to be as loud as possible right now. The more pushback the more we can help protect the most vulnerable.

      I’m pretty sure people have a theoretical right to protect themselves from illegal kidnappings regardless of who’s doing the illegal kidnapping. Either way, I don’t think a stance on protecting one’s self from kidnapping is that edgy or controversial of a stance as your comment seems to imply it is.

          Even during the fucking war the Union would let men off scot free if they’d pinky swear to go home and stay home. (And often they didn’t!)
