‘We will be notifying your family where to collect your remains, because we will kill you, graveyard dead,’ the sheriff eerily warned Thursday
A Florida sheriff issued a stark message to protesters planning to demonstrate this weekend against increasing ICE arrests nationwide.
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey warned in a press conference Thursday that if any protesters “throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun,” they will be killed.
Protests against the Trump administration’s ongoing immigration crackdown have been popping up across the nation after they first erupted in Los Angeles on Friday.
They are expected to continue through the weekend, in alignment with the president’s birthday parade.
Having been in the US military, I honestly think it would be about an even split between people who agree/don’t agree but will go along with orders vs disagree/undecided but unwilling to murder civilians.
Of course it would never have been “all or nothing” but I think people would be surprised at where the split is and for what reasons people picked their side.
And I’m being completely serious here: I fully believe members of the US military would carry out a nuclear strike on US soil, as long as it was one of “the woke states”, in order to make a point of “oppose us and we will kill all of you even if we die too”
While I was medically disqualified from service (back injury) I grew up around the military and most of my friends and family either have served or are still active duty. If there was a military coup I would be cautiously optimistic. I would hope they would take power, calm things down, and then call for new elections…I would hope they would do that. In reality if they did perform a successful coup, I have a feeling that the power would be addicting and starship troopers would become a documentary.
TL;DR, either way embrace the suck cuz we is fucked.
