Fuck this infel fuck. Every Nazi ICE shitpile should be targeted and taken out by Americans.
Why do they need that big ass hammer lol you can do that with a spark plug
Because this is a Goon. They don't think. They act. They act most efficiently when it involves hurting someone else. Do not go easily. Fight the gestapo.
Probably to scare people or to feel cool.
Can we dox people on Lemmy? I know in Reddit it's not allowed but how are the rules here?
Technically it would depend on the instance you were doing it on. That said, I'm pretty sure it's against the rules on all of them.
This guy is not an ICE member. He is a member of a right wing immigration militia patrol.
There are posts on Reddit about him.
Edit: Veterans On Patrol. See r/therewasanattempt
ICE have gone too far nowadays.
There's a huge fucking understatement LOL. I like you :)
They've been morally unacceptable since day 1.
A republican guy I used to work with was in huge support for ICE doing sweeps during trump's first administration. I asked him why he was in support of another armed gov't group going around cities asking for papers. He made it clear that they weren't going to go after people like him or me. Even after I pointed out what he was saying, he was OK with it. He was educated too. Just fucking morally awful people.
Do none of these folks have guns?
Then she and her husband would be dead I suppose.
There’s two things here to consider. And it’s very important that this conversation starts amongst more people, and more communities.
These Nazis are coming for communities that they think are easy targets, that will give no real resistance. But what happens if that changes? What if in a flip of a switch, unorganized but deliberate violence is purposefully used to address these actions? That when they came, hypothetically, and they broke the glass, they were immediately met with fatal gunfire?
And of course this too would happen in succession other places in similar instances. When the Nazis came their foot soldiers were struck down. What would then happen?
Two things can both be true. They could be scared and forced to back down, which to some degree may be valid. But I think the worse latter would happen, which could also be good but dangerous— because these are “federal law enforcement” so they will claim they will enact the insurrection act in order to bring soldiers to heel in the cities and places and to assist the Nazis.
And this is where the chess pieces move towards an end game situation. Either the people then continue to resist the Nazis with force if need be, and then hopefully get the soldiers to realize this is bullshit and have them turn as well— which they might— or the people will cower and they’d offer up the offenders and compatriots in order to believe they’d save their own skin while simultaneously signing all their death warrants.
Folks need to understand that protesting is now a nonstarter. You have to protest and resist peacefully in every mass setting you can. The system needs to be dragged to a halt economically for the pressures to start hurting those that can make this stop in a nonviolent way.
But if this fails, violence becomes the means of resistance because it becomes the monopoly change agent. Either it will be used upon all of us, and we all inevitably die under tyranny, or it’s used by us to take back and some of us may perish but under freedom.
These games and actions have happened in other cultures and societies at different times in the past. Some with the good results some with the bad.
But rest assured if you sit behind your keyboard and do nothing. If you prepare to sacrifice nothing. You are all but guaranteed to lose everything.
Man you guys have forgotten how the US treated black people when we armed ourselves.
wanna bet they arnt all LEO.
