than I do, especially in Minnesota, who have been putting so much pressure on ICE agents, that those agents are privately complaining that "the battle is LOST in Minnesota" !!!
(although here in Michigan, there has thus far been little ICE activity compared to the areas 'in the news'.... SO FAR---
so I could likely be excused for my lack of physical participation in any such thing... but 'in spirit', I am WITH them!)
I am older like you, 63 years now--- and probably likewise lost my illusions of 'immortality' long ago....
(although in my youth, at 16 years just after getting my driver's license,
I began taking flying lessons--- I was very close to my first 'solo' flight,
when I became derailed from that interest, partly by winter
but mostly due to the onset of a 'first serious love'---
NOW I can hardly believe that I was trying to do that--- flying is inherently dangerous,
and I wasn't very good at it, especially with 'crosswind landings', as I was never a very good athlete!)
((My flight instructor once shouted at me,
"you're going to land it by yourself this time,
even if you break the landing gear off!" LOL))
Your advice about 'keeping your distance from these brown-shirts' is OF COURSE very sound---
and like you, I don't want to see anyone else injured or killed by these nazi-brown-shirt-wannabees---
but never-the-less I thank GOD (or one's deity of choice, or none at all)
that these younger people have the courage to confront ICE directly---
and I greatly admire all of them who do so---
especially including all those who may ignore our advice about 'distance', as younger people are likely to do!
Considering the purported age demographics of this forum,
you are most likely "preaching to the choir" here---
but I agree that is was worth saying!
(But on the other hand, ICE agents are stopping their vehicles
and smashing out the car windows of people who were
merely the vehicle behind them in traffic---
for allegedly 'impeding' them,
which CLEARLY could not have been done FROM BEHIND,
but HERE WE ARE!)
When this battle is finally over, as it surely WILL be,
there should be a monument erected which lists the names
of all those protesters and observers who lost their lives in this battle for freedom!
Quite possibly 'Presidential Medals of Freedom' should be in order for all of them,
when we next have a president who respects freedom and the Constitution!
(which of course means A Democrat!)
