Just curious, why?
Are we expecting the original to get deleted?
Trying to avoid fake tweets while also not sending traffic to Twitter.

I wouldn't be surprised if some cop who ate there wasn't happy with the service he got and organised this shenanigan
Cops will take as much freedom as you give them and often they will attempt more than they have been granted. Never give cops an inch they are not legally entitled to. In democracies, laws exist to grant people freedom from the power of the state, not to grant the state freedom from the power of the people. Any laws that grant cops protection from the people are laws of a tyranny. We get only the protections of the state that our rights make possible and no more. Trading freedom for security gets us neither.
"ICE" Agents
I still think about this scene a lot because I've been there sheen relatively normal people casually talked about going to cities and shooting "democrats“ while also talking about the guns they were currently buying. I should have turned them in.
I should have turned them in.
And put yourself on the list to be visited by "ICE."
Anonymously ofcourse.

The only disappointing part of the article is that the 2 brown shirts continued to live.
So how long until real criminals start following suit and impersonating undercover ICE agents? Not like there's much distinction between either "career" now, is there?
And then how long until ICE agents start showing up with holes on the ground because property owners "thought" they were real street thugs trying to rob them? Is there even a way to tell the difference? ~wink wink~
Criminals are not stupid and generally have no political leanings. This is already happening.
They'd be caught out too quickly.
"Hey, wait a second! Yeah, you're holding me at gunpoint but you're asking me to put the money in the bag? But real ICE would have just kidnapped me!"
How long? Negative three months, apparently: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/04/us/ice-impersonators-on-the-rise-arrests-made-as-authorities-issue-national-warning/index.html

Bullies melt when faced with even the tiniest bit of resistance. Because they are fucking cowards. All bullies are fucking cowards.
They know what they’re doing is illegal, and they only get away with it because some people let them. Don’t be one of those people. When you see your rights being violated, resist! When you see the rights of others being violated, resist then too!
The actions of the manager of the restaurant Chang Chang were not only American, they were patriotic.
Yep. The Germans coined a nice term, critically: Vorauseilender Gehorsam - pre-emptive obedience. Don't do it.

"When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty." Thomas Jefferson
He didn't ever say that, actually. It was likely first said by an activist in New Zealand https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jefferson-injustice-resistance-quote/

They could be ICE, they could also be the KKK.
why did you say the same thing twice
¿Por que no las dos?
America's Gestapo
Indeed, my thoughts exactly.
Spoiler: They do need a warrant.
Also "you are tresspassed" is a magical phrase that turns ICE agents into criminals and armed ICE agents into armed criminals that you can pull a weapon on.
Funnily enough the "second amendment" crowd has been completely silent about all this shit. But people really have to use those stand your ground laws.

At some point, someone is going to fire the first shot. Then it's open season on ICE agents. And you know what? I'm okay with that.
I do wonder how all the "violence is never the answer" folks will go if it comes to that. I think a lot of them would side with ICE, sadly.
Personally, I won't be upset if a would-be nazi meets an abrupt end to their career.

These guys probably weren't even ICE. At this point, treat it like an attempted kidnapping, or better yet, an attempted 'robbing' of your employees, and give them a free sample of buckshot.

Several restaurants pushed back on Tuesday. Here’s an actual article instead of a tweet:

This is how the brownshirts operated. Just thugs, power trippin', and attracting the absolute worst people who WANT to wear balaclavas and have the excuse to be intimidating assholes and have the power to bundle people into vans (or railcars).
