Time for leftists to start cosplaying as ICE and disappearing redneck shitbags

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

This is why you have to be armed at all times and ready to interfere

[–] randamumaki@lemmy.blahaj.zone 160 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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 50 points 1 week 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 1 week ago (5 children)

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

There's like no difference between them and these guys.

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 27 points 1 week 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...

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?

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I think they’re the same people that are locking up random immigrants

Where's the well regulated militia you Americans scream about

So, one could argue that the well regulated militia in question is constituted by the National Guard, as they nominally are the armed forces of individual States, and can be nationalized under certain circumstances.

Except for the fact that Trump just nationalized the California National Guard when he's nominally not supposed to....

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

[–] Grimtuck@lemmy.world 62 points 1 week 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.

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 56 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Perhaps the only valid use for glitter

Worse.

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

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.

Eh… homie needs to watch Mad Max again —any of them. But I’ll still give him 2 points for trying to be clever.

We should respond to these people as what they are, domestic terrorists.

Buy some guns and do it to them then.

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.
