Should ICE shoot rock throwing protesters? (Poll)

[Delldude]

Pretending you don't understand the meaning of a fluid situation means you're not a thinker period.


So you think all of the 1/6 protesters who assaulted the polices should have been shot on site? Because that is what you're saying.

Who was assaulted first in the middle of a constitutionally granted peaceful protest?

It's the perfect solution whose time has come. SEDATIVE DARTS.

I think they come in 5.56.

Killing people for throwing rocks? Isn't that a third world country type of thing?

No, killing fags like yourself via throwing rocks is a third world thing.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Then you will have Kent State style massacres.

...and your point is?

I must have missed the part where the Jan 6th protesters were throwing chunks of concrete at the Police, Candy! Or the part where they were tossing large fireworks at them. I must have missed the part where they shot at the Police. I must have missed the part where Ashli Babbitt did ANY of those things yet you had no problem at all with her being assassinated by Lt. Byrd for breaking a ******* window!
Think about the difference between the two groups. The Jan. 6th protesters fought to get inside the Capitol Building to stop the certification of an election they thought was stolen. Once they were inside...the violence stopped. They left peacefully. The Congress was back in session the next day.
Your far left rioters? When have they EVER left a protest peacefully? They're there to burn buildings. They're there to assault the Police. They are there to block traffic. They are there to loot businesses. They are there to RIOT...day after day...night after night. They're doing Billions of dollars in damage and they're doing it deliberately!
I don't want them shot. I want them arrested. I want them convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers. I want them to serve serious prison time for their crimes...just like you on the left imprisoned the Jan. 6th protesters simply for being in the building. That's what I want!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Aka crowd control.

No. Thats literally Kent State.

That is assault with a deadly weapon, not crowd control, dumbass!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Then arrest them.

They are a lot easier to arrest after you shoot them.

 

[MarathonMike]

I'm serious. Tasers and rubber bullets are useless. Bring em down, throw them in the truck and dump them in jail.

Only a coward sees a rock and reaches for a gun like it’s permission to start a massacre.

Those people usually end up dead if they don't defend themselves.

The cost is real, no question. That’s why we can’t afford a sloppy response. The cartels want us to take the bait—missile strikes on homes and clinics hand them a propaganda win and tie our hands internationally. We don’t win this by swinging wild. We win it by being smarter, steadier, and harder to provoke. That’s why joint operations like Project Python—which coordinated dozens of U.S. and Mexican agencies to arrest over 600 cartel members without turning border towns into warzones—actually move the needle. It’s not flashy, but it works.

Who has ever proposed that? Are currently under the influence of intoxicating substances?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Sloppy design.

1. There needs to be a shield blocking spent casings from rolling down the windshield blocking the driver's view and directing these casings off the sides of the roof.
2. Those roof doors block the shooter's FOV and do nothing to protect him.

There is a point of attachment for a tube that is not being used. The spent casings should be deflected away, you are correct.

The doors rotate with the gun, so it does not obstruct the view. One problem with the gun turrets on our Humvees was that it was very easy to shoot the gunners in the back!

The question isn’t whether throwing rocks is a crime—it is. The question is what response enforces the law while keeping control of the situation. Because the moment ICE starts acting like a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail—and the cartels count on that escalation to radicalize locals and delegitimize federal presence.


Lethal force escalating chaos:

• Salt Lake City, 2015 – A teen holding a metal pipe was shot multiple times by officers. Crowd unrest followed immediately, damaging trust for years.
• US-Mexico Border, 2010 – U.S. border agents killed 15-year-old Sergio Hernández Güereca by shooting across the border. No prosecution, but the international backlash was severe.
• George Floyd Protests, 2020 – Numerous incidents where police escalated with ‘less-lethal’ munitions led to mass panic, injuries, and widening protests.

Non-lethal force restoring order:

• Standing Rock, 2016 – Officers faced organized, often hostile resistance. Rather than escalate, they deployed water cannons, teargas, and held the line. No live fire. The situation remained tense, but never spiraled into a national flashpoint.
• Ferguson, MO (late-stage response, 2014) – After initial militarized tactics failed, late deployment of de-escalation and community liaisons helped stabilize the city and reduce tension.
• Portland Protests, 2020 – DHS presence initially used aggressive force and unmarked vans. Later, a shift to coordinated arrests and crowd management reduced nightly violence.

Discipline isn't weakness—it’s strategy. ICE should neutralize cartel influence the way a scalpel works—not a grenade. You don’t outgun chaos. You outlast it.

How many buildings were looted and burned, and how many innocent civilians were killed?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

As an Anti trump, yes please start shooting protesters!

Back to the dishes Sink Worrier, your TDS is acting up!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Plan B is the easy part—boots are cheap. But Plan A is what wins. Brute force might scatter a crowd, but it doesn’t build stability, and it sure doesn’t win trust from the locals we need on our side to choke cartel influence. We’ve seen what happens when foreign militaries lead with shock and awe—they lose the long game to guerrillas who understand hearts and minds. This isn’t about being soft. It’s about being smart enough not to play into the enemy’s hand. Let the cartels swing wildly—we keep our footing. That’s how you hold the ground.

Did you get that info from your Communist Manifesto or Mao's Little Red Book?

The IDF use Snipers with suppressed Ruger 10/22 22LR caliber Carbines with high end optics for crowd control ( Shoot a rioter in the ankle or knee and it takes 3-5 other protestors to carry him away , and after a few are shot then even large throngs will egress for cover or safety of distance

I have a S&W M&P 15/22. I can hit someone in the ankle at about 50 yards.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Yes, shoot them with sedative darts. Take them down like the animals they are and let ICE gather them up.

You obviously know nothing about sedative darts. Why don't you shut up?

 

[Delldude]

I'm serious. Tasers and rubber bullets are useless. Bring em down, throw them in the truck and dump them in jail.

I thought they got a lot of Israeli training.

Isn't it de rigueur?

Why don't you shut up, know it all loser. A sedative dart will work just fine, and all we need is an EO from President Trump authorizing it.
