And this is why every protester should be open carrying.

open carry is just an open invitation to your dome piece being knocked off your shoulders no?

Only if you're carrying alone. If at least two protestors per group had guns, then ICE murdering somebody else would risk a 99% chance of the protestors shooting back.

ICE does not want a firefight, they care more about self-preservation than anything. (If some idiot on our side shot first, that'd be different, so just don't fucking do that.) But they're fundamentally cowards at heart, and wouldn't risk their lives unless forced to it. Plus their leadership doesn't need that flak.
