That looks like a gang, operates like a gang, and should be kicked off of the turf of any self-respecting gang, imho.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 49 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Honestly where the fuck are the gangbangers in all this? All that talk about fuck the police and how hard they are and all and there hasnt been one incidence of ICE being rolled up on by the westside crips.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

That's because ICE are cowards. Wouldn't be surprised if they're purposefully leaving areas under direct gang control alone.

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They're goal is fear and intimidation. They are going to every area and doing one or two workplace arrrests so that nobody feels safe. They're not actually ready for a coordinated resistance. No cops are actually trained for anything like that.

ICEis doesn't look like they would be as agile on the monkey bars. So, checkmate.

Where's the well regulated militia you Americans scream about so loudly when someone suggests not letting a mentally ill child own an assault rifle?

Isn't this exactly the government tyranny that argument is used to defend against?

They're too busy gargling republican boot to bother rising up against the tyranny they've cried about for decades.

To a unnerving amount of people's surprise, they only cared about the power of the state when they thought it was being used improperly (having a tolerant democracy), and are more than happy to see it used the way they want (hurting brown people)

Oh so they can breathe through those masks. Isn't it strange how it was difficult for them 4 years ago but now they're totally fine with it.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

Tbf, the mask is a bigger inconvenience when you're picking up veggies from the food isle than when chasing down migrants while hoping over a couple of fences. Don't your see? The aerodynamic design of the mask will...

[–] NerfHerder@lemm.ee 81 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Why aren't masked and armed individuals with weapons and no badges, that make attempts to abduct people, being shot?

[–] Grimtuck@lemmy.world 59 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Because the whole second amendment thing was about carrying a gun in the hope that you get to shoot a black person, a school kid or a teacher.

Dox all these fuckers. Attack and take their masks. Spread photos everywhere you can. Make their lives terrible. They're not law enforcement they're gestapo.

Should try that die they use when you steal shit. That stuff lasts forever. How does one bulk buy that. Nothing a squirty water bottle, water gun or balloon couldn't handle either.

Worse.

Gestapo did not wear masks and they had their legal documentation/warrants ready and available. They were not hiding.

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I mean.. In some ways maybe that is not worse. Perhaps there is some shame associated with working for ICE.

[–] mr_satan@lemmy.zip 48 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is very similar to what the nazi and the soviets did. Removing people under pretext of law with no regard to process or people. It doesn't seem as extreme but the course is definitely clear.

To the troll that keeps regurgitating "illegal aliens" rhetoric. Dressing up with masks and shit doesn't grant one an authority to pick people of the streets. Any "leader" that enables this just wants chaos and doesn't give a fuck about the nation. It's just tyranny under the guise of patriotism. It happened many times before.

I can't wait for the trial about it gunning them down is self defense,

if it is a trump appointed judge, then it will clearly be considered illegal, which mean the whole point of 2nd amendment (defend against a tryranic government is BS)

or reasonable judge, which will determine it is self defence, then let the fun begin.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I mean, honestly, even without violence, this would be a fantastic protest technique. Imagine if whenever there was an ICE raid, there were hundreds of people dressed indistinguishably from the ICE thugs. Normally this doesn't work at protests. If you put on a fake LAPD uniform, they'll arrest you for impersonating a police officer. But since these thugs aren't in uniform, then you're not impersonating an officer by dressing like them.

"ICE thug" should be the standard uniform for every protester. Watch as their raids collapse into absolute chaos as they can't figure out who is actually on their team. Watch as the police thugs escorting ICE get completely confused as they don't know who to shoot their rubber bullets and tear gas at. Just imagine protesters milling about in active raid scenes, walking in like they own the place, giving contradictory orders to ICE foot soldiers, etc. Hell, the protesters could "detain" many of the people being seized, load them into unmarked vans, drive them a mile away, and then just let them go.

This can be weaponized, all without using actual weapons. Protesters could dress up like these ICE thugs and completely destroy their operations. ICE have forgotten that cops wear uniforms not just to protect the public, but also so that cops can tell who is actually a police officer.

It's time ICE learned exactly why police wear uniforms. By not wearing uniforms, they've made themselves comically vulnerable to mass disruption by nonviolent protesters. They've completely destroyed their own chain of command, and they are vulnerable.

Yeah, what's happening definitely requires exercising second amendment rights. And yet Americans are still mostly mum. Dumbing down Americans by the oligarchs paid off I guess.

I feel safe in my house, but I didn't reacquire my concealed carry permit when I moved states, mostly because I almost never carried in all the years I had it.

I really need to get off my ass and complete the requirements in this new state and get that permit.

Isn't it the job of the opposition party at this point to propose legislation that outlaws this practice? To run candidates on a platform of reigning in these abuses? To run ads with scary music saying how the government is infringing on liberties etc?

Rural Republicans already fear three letter federal agencies: BLM, ATF, etc. Play to their fears, this very low hanging fruit, Democrats.

If someone comes and tries to take you or those around you, defend yourself.

Get a handgun, get a CCW and learn how to defend those you love.

There are more of you than them.

Honey, trials don't convict fascists. That's a fundamental misunderstanding of law.

Fucking shiro ishi ended uo dean of tokyo medical school. Nobotsuke kishi's dynasty only ended when some guy killed his grandson with a home made electric shotgun. Most of the italian fascists, aside from Mussolini, who notably did not get a trial, ended uo employed by the cia.

Germany wasn't much better.

You don't give nazis trials.
