Protestors need to start arming themselves.

That is by definition not a protest.

You might want to invest in a dictionary in case you decide to open your mouth and shit out something this stupid in the future.

a strong complaint expressing disagreement, disapproval, or opposition:

Instigating an armed conflict is a protest as much as surgery is a dialogue. That said, I think some armed resistance to the ICE would be warranted, but let's not pretend words can mean whatever you want them to.

Yeah, your being ridiculously pedantic. The concept of protest dies not actually exclude violence.

I am always extremely pedantic.

Violence is not a complaint or in any way a form of legitimate dialogue.

that's just your opinion

also let's just be clear here, it is not "violence" (in the sense that you seem to be using it) to protect yourself against violence instigated by others

If ICE force their way onto your property, that's their violence.

If you force your way onto federal property, that's your violence.

BOOTLICKING CUNT!
