Identifying 'potential friendly' publications also a good idea

I really like armedequality on Instagram. Not at all BLM but very pro-gun

Ah i didnt necessarily BLM as an actual organization, but rather the other demographics that feel abused by the police

youre probably right about NYT, but you get my drift overall, finding *any* media outlet that would give us an actual bit of journalism could very helpful

@Crye_Salesman I don’t think we should side with them but it isn’t a secret that we hate the government. ICE is just another department in the government. We’re really just restating that fact but directing it at a certain department. I see what you mean though. It could cause a small rift

Its a fine line to tread, because groups like BLM have also socially attacked innocent people because they shot it out with someone of a different race. but really letting people know our only concern is ensuring all people are free from abuses of 'authority' and demonstrating that support and sense of community could be paradigm changing

It is also a way to talk with them about their goals because this community has also attacked people that it didn't agree with. Look at the posts from people commenting on the CO guy page

oh for sure, elements of this community are very toxic

As I imagine BLM faces the same problem

definitely

It would be fun to get to know other groups

It’ll help build support as well. Every group has toxic members and sadly those few normally define the group

yeah, it's a really fine line between respecting your group members freedom to express themselves and culling shitty members from your group.

So we do actually have a PR group that is working on developing a podcast that is very much geared towards introducing our movement and softening our image. Once its up and running, getting the word of its existence out will be a big thing. We're still in developing stages but working hard and as soon as we're up whoever you can share it with would be awsome.

If anyone needs an invite, PM me.

Also in regards to anyone in Any other group what we could do as an organization and a movement is recognize their leaders contact them with representatives and speak to them about our similar motives and their followers being unnecessarily violent and how to stop it if they disagree which I’m assuming they would be against unnecessary violence at least the ones who are really invested in it

Agreed. So if you know anybody involved in any sort of movement that is even leaning anti-gov, get in touch and let them know about us. A huge part of our purpose is outreach and you just never know who might be open to our message

Everyone to VC. Updates from Chevy coming in

Years back i knew an Oklahoma militia that did volunteer disaster relief. Tornadoes trash a city? They organized to help. Showing people we give a damn is huge.

The biggest and best thing we can do is community helping.

Like if there's a chance of looting or whatever, we could have a large group act as security at the grocery store so the old people and families can still get what they need. I'd be so down for that

Definitely

Me as well.

So what’s y’all opinion on showing up for ICE raids? I’ve noticed when they hit they’ll sweep a whole community and notice is normally given out by people that see them going down. That would help show that we’re not “right extremists”. I know that’s how a lot of America looks at us right now.

That’s a good one

Agreed

I mean

It’s definitely an idea

No doubt

Words were strung together here

I think that's worth it

Immigration is a hot topic

Lots of you probably don't live in these areas

I agree with strong borders
however

BP agents have harassed American citizens

they ask for papers, where you're going, where you're been
ask for your license and registration
they stop by bus stops, train stations and airports

And pleading the 5th at the checkpoints can lead to legal trouble

I like this idea

Its just another government agency with a valid mission but way too much power, overreach and abuse

Yeah. Personally, I'm for strong borders and against illegal immigration; that being said, the current immigration process is a shitshow that desperately needs to be reworked.

And I'm 1000% against the guilty til proven innocent tactics used by BP and ICE. Like hook said, they don't care about Constitutional rights and I take personal offense at that

Immigration is a very hot topic
