@CorvidCrone @HeavenlyPossum I did not know that. We don't get full coverage in the UK, just selected info. It's terrible to see though and genuinely worrying that this is a symptom of a worldwide trend.

@HeavenlyPossum @adamgreenfield well yes, I am pretty sure (whilst living safely in the UK) that anyone mounting an armed defence in the face of ICE would be eliminated in a very short space of time. It appears to an outsider that the powers that be in the US are using weapons against peaceful protest. The land of the free? I think not.

@HeavenlyPossum @adamgreenfield and infuriating!

@HeavenlyPossum @adamgreenfield exactly. How effective can 1 man with 1 gun be, when facing hundreds, ergo what's the point in carrying? It's a very sad situation.

@HeavenlyPossum @adamgreenfield I believe that one of the arguments for gun ownership in the US is defence against enemies foreign and domestic. It now seems moot, as if that were genuinely the case there would be armed gangs roaming the streets acting against ICE. However the military backing of ICE prevents any uprising, thus rendering the argument pointless.
