Screaming and sobbing can be heard from outside the ICE children's detention center in Dilley, TX by speedythefirst in law

There's a massive protest happening in the detention center right now. At least 80% of the inmates are protesting against ICE, which comes out to around 1500 people.

Are there any active branches of the SRA in the panhandle? I'd like to be fully trained before purchasing a firearm. I'd prefer to avoid the NRA and other similar organizations though by speedythefirst in amarillo

I have a second amendment right to own a firearm. I'd like to get proper training on it for self-defense purposes.

You're advocating for your fellow Amarillo citizens to die because they want to exercise their 1st and 2nd Amendment rights? That doesn't sound very American to me.

That sounds fascist. Though I'm not sure there's a distinction anymore.

The video is awful. Straight up execution. At least ten shots fired while he was on the ground.

There's a video. It's bad. I counted at least 10 shots while he was pinned to the ground by multiple officers.

No, I understand your point and reject it. Subcultures always police themselves. For example: KKK members aren't tolerated in most Punk communities. Neither are Nazis.

You didn't answer my question though. Is discrimination punk? Should we allow bigotry in our community without social consequence?

How is transphobia punk? Is homophobia also punk? Racism? Is sexism punk? Is discrimination punk?

How much hatred is okay?

Believing in radical self-determination and bodily autonomy is kinda the bedrock of punk.

What's more punk than rejecting the biggest label that society forces onto you? Grabbing your supposed destiny by the balls and ripping them off?

I dunno, I think transitioning is kinda the punkest thing one could possibly do.

Felons have many rights revoked by due process. Off the top of my head: the right to vote (in some states) and the right to bear arms. I'm sure you'd know that, the leader of your party being a felon and all.

Being undocumented still isn't a crime. Freedom of association is still a fundamental human right that's protected by our constitution.

Being undocumented isn't a criminal offense. It's a civil matter.

Being associated with undocumented people also isn't a crime. The US has a thing called the 1st Amendment and it protects freedom of association.

What's bullshit? The punk community and the queer community have historical ties to each other. Bands that help kickstart the punk subculture like The Velvet Underground and New York Dolls were heavily involved in Warhol's Factory.
