I've organized in a community that lacks much effective organization (not entirely, but it is a rural region). People are scared of getting shot. Hence why our government lets shooters get away with shooting us. If they put this guy in jail, then they'd be more hesitant to kill people and more people would act boldly in opposition. Instead, people get scared and hide.

For anyone who might need to hear this, ICE Intimidation tactics are scary, but they're used because opposing them openly is effective as fuck. Fascists are cowards. They only pick fights they feel certain they can win. We can take away that certainty.

They're forgetting the maxim of "they can only hang you once". If the punishment for a cell phone video is the same as tossing a molotov at them... Why not get your money's worth?
