@ingelramdecoucy@AbdulElSayed I just checked his account and I have to say- you and @SirajAHashmi could possibly spend your entire online life dealing with his insanity
@ingelramdecoucy@ChrisHelali@IlanBlock Of course I immediately hit the like without checking… then I looked and OMG. Someone needs their phone taken away for a bit.
@BDHerzinger@redsteeze Don’t forget to add that China doesn’t allow dual citizenship- so if she is representing China as an Olympic athlete, she has renounced her US citizenship to follow their rules.
Every concealed carry course teaches you that when you are carrying, any conflict you become involved in is a conflict that has a gun in it, and that isn’t a fact that always makes you safer.
Because anybody who knows you have it and has a good reason to think you’re about to use it is allowed to use theirs first. Especially cops. Having a gun never makes you safer in an interaction with a cop, and if you find yourself in a situation where you are interacting with a cop while legally carrying, you want that gun to cease to be an element of the encounter.
Concealed carry courses teach you how to interact with cops when you are carrying. You display your empty hands — you put them on your steering wheel or in the air, you inform the cop that you are a permit holder, you tell him where the gun is, and then you wait for instructions on what to do next. If the cop feels that he is not safe, you are not safe.
Because if he gets the idea you’re reaching for that weapon, he may kill you and your permit or your right to carry has absolutely no bearing on his justification to do so.
If a cop reasonably thinks you pose a danger to him, he can justifiably shoot you. If you have a gun and you can get hold of it, then you reasonably pose a danger to the cop. The Second Amendment, your concealed carry permit or open carry laws in your state are not part of this analysis. They do not matter in any way.
Taking your weapon to a violent demonstration where you will be among protesters who are clashing with cops is a wildly irresponsible thing to do, because the presence of a gun changes the way the cops are going to deal with you and everyone you are with.
The Second Amendment and concealed carry permits and open carry laws in no way lessen the criminal implications of having a gun while committing a crime. The presence of the gun escalates the seriousness of the crime dramatically over what it would have been if you had committed the crime without a weapon, and it makes no difference whether you have a permit or whether you got the gun from a guy in an alley.
Direct action — impeding federal law enforcement officers in the course of their duty, helping migrants to escape from law enforcement, assaulting an officer — these are all crimes, and every one of these crimes becomes much more severe if you’re armed while you’re doing it.
Having a permit doesn’t mean it was legal for him to be carrying at the demonstration, because it is never legal to be armed while doing a crime.
As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.
What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.
Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.
This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.
The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.
I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.
Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.
We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.
Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.
It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.
@ingelramdecoucy@VICE lol
I open X and the first thing I see is the frog replying to @VICE - seriously, no hesitation, “like” get hit immediately .
It’s too easy against these mentally deficient dorks
