    Don’t you want an open measurement of the strength between New Yorkers and Proud Boys?

    I mean these two scenarios are not mutually exclusive. If you think bullying a squad of ICE people is easy, wait until it’s a little handful of Proud Boys with absolutely no legal protections getting chased out like Patriot Front in Philly.

    It’s complex. There are a bunch of ways it can play out. But I think the Trump forces losing the de-facto legal protections that ICE people have, and losing the pretense of legitimacy that’s so far kept them from getting arrested, would be the perfect tipping point for everyone to just get sick of Trump’s shit and start tackling them and getting away with it as far as the local authorities are concerned.

    There are other ways it could play out, it could be bad or real bad also. I’m just saying that Proud Boys coming out and fucking everything up for this whole operation could come in conjunction with bullying the ICE people away through sheer numbers.
