Armed pro-Trump militia harasses peaceful protesters outside Phoenix ICE facility

MARTIN CIZMAR 16 JUN 2018 AT 16:51 ET

A protest outside an immigration jail in Phoenix, Arizona got heated as armed pro-Trump militia “got in the faces” of peaceful human rights activists.

The protest took place in front of the Immigration and Naturalization headquarters to protest undocumented children being ripped away from their parent.

was flying an alt-right pepe flag.

Those people have already killed one peaceful protester in Charlottesville, are they gunning for more?

Not even joking. I fully support gun control and definitely would rather choose non-violent resistance over violent resistance, but if the reich wingers are going to show up heavily armed, we should be ready.

This isn't a game anymore. These fascists are truly dangerous. And if Trump does end up getting impeached or indicted, I can totally see some pissed off militia types taking it out on some leftist protesters. And I'm not willing to sacrifice God knows how many lives in the name of "non-violence."

That is what it will be like if all hell breaks loose.

There are a LOT of armed liberals as well.

My response is always the same. "I might actually be concerned about that if you had 30 hands. Since you don't, that means you can only hold one or maybe two if you think you're Wyatt Earp. Which means that if it ever came down to it, you are about as evenly matched as most of the liberals I know."

Right wingers think that owning dozens of guns makes them invincible. I say it just makes them heavier and harder to move in a firefight. You ever notice how you don't see soldiers in combat carry more than two or maybe three guns at most?

They hate science. They have no fucking idea of how dangerous science is to them. They won't be facing yahoos across a town square if they really start shit.

the horses and armed militia, I was there, and Bush supporters spitting on protesters. Two of my friend were arrested for carrying signs. I feel I am reliving the year 2000 with far worse right wingers.

If this Fascist Stuff was just here it would be bad enough but it isn’t. The Nazis are feeling their oats all over the globe. Scary times. They are like cockroaches they never quite go away.

These far right losers are feeling it. Collective Memory of the rise of Fascism in the 30s is virtually gone.

I don’t know if we can stop this before it runs it’s course.

It may be too late but please vote, vote for everything down to school boards. Let’s go the hour is late. Oh and go to Hell all you far right pathetic losers.

to support the policy that their hero said the Dems forced on the country.

They often have difficulty synching their messaging, on the nutcase nazi right.
