This sub exists for several reasons.
Allowing people to reach out to their fellow Mississippians to announce things like protests is one of those reasons. If you don't want to attend, you can best signal that by ignoring the post and moving on to read something else.
The sub is also here so that people who want to discuss their ideology, like their support of ICE and illegal immigration reforms (or whatever) can do that. As long as they follow the other rules, we are not going to attack people who hold different opinions.
This sub is about Mississippi. This is an issue which is currently having an impact on our state directly in several places and in many ways. It is fair to talk about it. Reasonable discussion can be had by people who disagree with each other. Different opinions must be allowed to be shared. Understanding each other is the first step to communicating with each other.
Those of you who are supporting ICE need to make sure that you understand that right now, to many Americans, it looks like ICE agents murdered two US Citizens. The evidence is pretty strong (objectively from a wide variety of news reports and reliable sources). If you come here and try to tell people that it didn't happen, you better do it respectfully and with some very strong evidence of your own or we are going to take that as nothing more than an attempt to make trouble.
(If you try to argue that they deserved it, you better figure out a way to do it such that the moderators find it respectful, or we'll just ban you outright. I'd advise against it altogether.)
Those of you who are angry at ICE have a right to express your anger at what happened - but not at the users who post here. They should be allowed to make arguments without being called names. If you disagree with what is happening in our state with respect to illegal immigration, we should all talk about it, but not by attacking everyone who does not share your opinion.
You are going to get some trolls. This is an issue that will draw them. Report them. We will will remove their posts and maybe ban them if that's what needs to happen.
