    Not disagreeing, but there’s a good chance somebody will snipe an ice agent and it will set the civil war in motion.

    I don’t want it, but it’s starting to seem like that’s the path we’ve taken.

      Someone probably already has but the media won’t show it, lest ICE be seen as fragile.

      Yeah, that’s certainly a possibility. My feeling is that you’re not going to get a nice crisp revolution / civil war.

      I think for that to happen you need to have a lot more people desperate enough to lay down their lives to win some kind of future for the people they care about.

      It seems more likely you’ll end up with an armed resistance movement.

        You keep saying “you,” where are you from?
