CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I call a spade a spade. If you find that disrespectful, then there's the ignore button. Now - back on topic?

I agree part 1 doesn't apply.
I disagree. When citizens are attacking agents attempting to stop them form doing their jobs and are attacking federal buildings where agents are located, surrounding agents and attempting to prevent them from doing their jobs thats rebellion.
They are able to arrest people, but that doesn't mean they are able to arrest everyone they are trying to. There are areas in Chicago where people are preventing them from executing their authority. Those stories need to be told. I've seen plenty of videos from the people themselves and their testimonies of how rhey have chased ICE off and prevented them from doing their job.
There are neighborhoods where they have organized watches where when ICE is seen they blow whistles summoning crowds of people who rush the agents.
In my opinion these two things are happening.

That’s wonderful. I love hearing about communities coming together to protect their own.

No it's ad hominem personal attacks which derail threads.

Pointing out that you aren't answering the question and actively avoiding it isn't a personal attack. It's pointing out the lack of an arguement that you have.

That can be done without being rude and insulting. As a matter of fact if that hadn't happened, this derail wouldn't have occurred. I wouldn't perform the task of cutting and pasting readily available information that took a minute to find, because people were being disrespectful in their demand for such.
Specify please. Based on posts I've made in this thread, what's my alleged argument?

No, that's not a rebellion. It's not organized, nor is it trying to overthrow the government or otherwise seize control of the state.
Law enforcement is never able to arrest everyone that they try to.

Rebellion doesn't have to just be about overthrowing the entire government.
Please don't be so disingenuous. You are a smart guy. I was clear about what I was talking about. I know you didnt miss it. If you need further clarity just ask.

In a literal definition, sure. But in a legal sense, that's a necessary part - otherwise we'd be dropping the full force of the US military on every teenager.
As was I. The core of what you said is that ICE can't do everything that it wants to do. That doesn't mean that they're prevented from enforcing the law though.
