The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I wonder how long it will be that those 'ICE' thugs go to the wrong house, stop the wrong car, attempt to grab the wrong person who does react instinctively, maybe with more training than they expect, or are armed, conditioned to react to their thuggery? Will we ever hear about it? Are there protections for those that find themselves in the midst of these thugs? Notice they aren't going to the known gang hangouts, but instead go for the working class guys who are happy to be getting workmate enough to get by, apparently honestly...

It's a sickening mess created not only by little Donnie, but his whole gang, who themselves are the ones that should, most likely be prosecuted...

Not sure how I'd react, as an old white guy, it's not likely, but in the old days, in some situations, one does react, deal with problems before are clear, maybe, but sometimes... And old friends, same game, I don't think they'd take kindly to these crappy scenes well, at all...

And what about open or concealed carry States, areas, are those same 'ICE' creeps going to play their games there, doubtful...

The more times I see the little old gardener, Dad to 3 Marines, getting thumped by that AH, the more it rises me, and I bet a lot of others, off...
