He and his wife were waiting for their lawyer when it happened. Méndez, who is undocumented but working to adjust his status, was taken to an undisclosed location. His wife, Marilú—an asylum recipient—had petitioned for him. They have one child.
According to Marilú, they had just left home when unfamiliar cars appeared. Moments later, three vehicles boxed them in. Armed men in green vests ordered them out. No names. No badges.
This is what they saw. What would you do in this situation?
Well, I’m not a primary target, but if I see someone rolling up on my street trying to force people into a vehicle against their will, I’m definitely grabbing my rifle and preventing a kidnapping.
They may not be coming for me yet, but I sure as fuck am not waiting until they do.
Honestly I think they’re just waiting for people to fight back so they can justify lethal force from then on, “as a precaution”
Then let’s start this hot war. Waiting for the other side to shoot first rarely is the best option and waiting for them to dig in their heels more, seems like a bad idea.
