      If they try to arrest him and don’t get him quick I think it would start a riot on the spot

      Picture LA but instead of them grabbing random people off the streets it’s just one specific guy the whole city is out to protect

      Also LA is a lot easier for ICE to move around than NYC

        never considered that last line you said but thats very true. CA has wide streets with plenty of room and nobody on them. nyc is the exact opposite. also with nycs layout it would be extremely easy for protestors to set up on each end of a block and trap ICE in. if they’re willing to run thru the crowd in that instance it opens them up to even more potential violent retaliation from protesters. and since im not trying to be visited by the fbi im gonna say thats a bad thing but im also gonna say putting fear into these cowardly pigs with equivalent violence to what they use is the only thing thats gonna dissuade them from doing their “job”

          I’m pretty sure it comes down to New York’s streets being laid out before the French Revolution.

          DC is specifically set up the way it is to make building barricades and blocking roads incredibly difficult, because they saw what happened in Paris
