I can't believe I just watched that many people for that long do absolutely fuck all.

In my country, within seconds, people would be running in from off-screen and absolutely wailing on those two. And they'd relish doing it.

A nation of sheep gripped by fear, controlled by whoever wants it.

We get shot by our police here A LOT. It's really hard.

If it's any consolation, as a US-ian watching this, my mind was racing through all the things I wanted to do. The kidnappers are all-in focusing on the victim, with stress probably fogging up their brains. Anyone with an iota of mental discipline and a moment to strategize would have an advantage over them.

I kept thinking how easy it would probably be to remove their masks and sunglasses. Their hands are full, what are they gonna do? They could let go of the victim (win!) to re-cover their faces, or they could let their faces be visible (smaller win) and whatever comes of that, comes of that.

Then I remembered that I've got pepper spray, and this video may be the kick I need to actually start carrying it full-time.

The problem is the people standing around don't want to become victims themselves. I was wishing they'd do more through the whole video but, if they did, they're running the risk of a 20+ year prison sentence.

That said, I think there is plenty of plausible deniability here. There is nothing to say these two are actually officers. Only one of them is in "uniform" and that uniform is something anyone could buy.

Neither of which have a firearm. One dude doesn't have a vest and neither have helmets, and they're driving a Nissan Rogue. No fucking way that was ICE.

The guy in green has a pistol

That he started to reach for but stopped. Maybe it wasn't real? Maybe not legitimate agents?

If Americans haven't stood up for themselves by now, they never will. It's pretty GG.

At second 46/47 you can see how one of the agents grabbed to his weapon (not pulling it) without pretty much any hesitation.
So it foors like if they werent in such a public space they would have definetly used it (and if its only for scaring)
