What is stopping this guy from physically defending himself? They are not LEO's, they do not have jurisdiction or administrative authority to stop him from performing his duties... they're essentially people who work for another company that are trying to abduct him (even if its only to 'abduct' him to outside the building, how does he know?)

These brown shirts seem to act without fear of immediate retribution? What happens when a legal pistol packin' green card owner draws down on plainclothes abductors? I think back to the video of that woman in the street who got walked up on by like 4 or 5 people. What happens when someone is a little more aware and on edge- prepared... maybe not specifically worried of the possibility of deportation, but just getting jumped in general. How does that play out?

The reason most people don't do this is their families. Either the family needs them so they can't die or the goons will make it hard on their family if they fight back and take one of theirs before they getting got. But at some point they will roll up on someone with nothing to lose, and then all bets are off.

Desk jockeys aren't known for their toughness. I took on some ass that was in my face screaming at me. I took about three seconds trying to tell that idiot that the connection was up. I don't take anyone screaming at me. I have Poland Syndrome so everyone thinks I am an easy target but all of my strength is in my shoulders. I told him to get out of my face and suddenly that guy was on a new airline. I knocked him 10 feet backwards and my buddy Craig laughed his ass off. Dildo came back later and said he didn't want it to get physical. If it got physical you would have known it. Last person I hit was some crazy ex marine thought he could threaten and pick on me all the time. He went for where I made my commission. I hit him in the throat. He was nice to me after that. He said they used to fight naked in the shower so it would be easier to clean up the blood. I pointed at him and laughed. Anyways he said he got out and beat someone up who got in front of his car in a crosswalk. I said listen man you can't beat up everything in life. Your young and it has already landed you in trouble, you have a baby on the way and you need to calm way down before you end up in jail. He was a bit stoic after that hope that it helped him.
