In a normal world where you have a court of law to count on with a fair trial, yes… violence is not the answer.
But in a world where the powers that be have decided you have no rights, there is no peaceful due process anymore… if you let them take you, you are as good as dead.
They do not want to give their prisoners a day in court. The president himself believes the most absurdly obvious Photoshopped “tattoos” justify brutalizing the presumably innocent targets :
No one is going to save us. They will never willingly release the prisoners from El Salvador.
For now, you can legally own firearms.
I would also point out randomly that many years ago, the Black Panthers started patrolling local neighborhoods in large organized groups - ALL of them legally carrying firearms and they “observed” the local police during stops to prevent them from otherwise brutalizing innocent people whom the police didn’t believe had rights.
We are at the point where if you wish to uphold the actual tenets of the Constitution… if you want the Bill of Rights to be followed instead of ignored as they currently are, I would suggest taking inspiration from relevant history, finding like-minded individuals with similar ideals and convictions to begin doing what they can to help inspire a change in heart from those currently engaged in gleeful cruelty as if there will be no consequence for engaging in such actions.
Hypothetically, perhaps if agents of cruelty and apathy were to see real potential responses with impact as a direct consequence, they might think twice before engaging in such actions.
