Text: ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out wearing masks in unmasked cars with no uniforms or identification, protesters keep dumping pounds of glitter on them so that everyone can tell they're ICE for days afterwards.

Image below the text: a man in white shirt and black tie and glasses, with a raised hand, as if trying to get someone's attention.

Text on that image: who had "Glitter bombing the Gestapo" on their bingo card?

Get a paintball gun with the paint balls filled with that permanent dye banks use for bank robbers.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 51 minutes ago

Beet root boiling water is a very stubborn dye to wash off too.

Gotta hit 'em with a stink bomb they won't be able to wash off for days

Smells like pig in here

smells like bullshit in here

soap and water will wash it away just fine

[–] Poppa_Mo@lemmy.world 36 points 7 hours ago (5 children)

Super Soakers and water balloons full of bright orange permanent dye.

Why not just use H2O2?

[–] Schmeckinger@lemmy.world 20 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I wouldn't point anything vaguely gun shaped at them.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Unmarked Vehicles masked men no uniforms no identification no badges? I think you should point a gun at them immediately. You have no way of knowing who they are and if they're about to murder you.

[–] Schmeckinger@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If you do they will certainly murder you and even if you win the gunfight your life is pretty much over.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Sure if I'm the only one doing it. If we're all doing it suddenly there's a lot less of them. So they either stop or they die. That's how we win. That's how fighting against fascism works.

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 1 points 30 minutes ago

You need enough to be willing to give their life. Because some are still going to die.

[–] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Garden sprayers would work but honestly they will probably shoot you the second something comes flying at them

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If spitting on people is assult, dispensing a pre made chemical mixture is going to be on the scale.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Might as well mix in something caustic then

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 8 points 5 hours ago

And make it smell bad.

[–] FrederikNJS@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 hours ago

Wouldn't bright pink be even better?

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Poppa_Mo@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

I hear you guys on the pink, I just figured oompa loompa orange to match their master.

Arm yourselves. This isn’t a joke.

They want millions dead.

[–] iheartneopets@lemm.ee 40 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Do you know that the KKK would disperse & never come back when would-be victims armed themselves and shot at them? A big element in the civil rights movement was vets coming back from the world wars with combat experience and firing back on their oppressors. Those are stories that get lost in the pEaCefUL pRoTeST propaganda, but arming up and defending their communities was a huge piece of the black civil liberties movement.

Anyway, point is, turns out people who hide behind masks to commit terroristic acts are truly, deeply chickenshit. I'm willing to bet ICE would do the exact same thing as the KKK if fired back upon.

[–] PunkRockSportsFan@fanaticus.social 15 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

The only good Nazi is dead.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

Not important cuz it's obvious what your saying but I feel like the second half of the statement is necessary. This kinda implies there was one good Nazi

The 2 go hand in hand. The peaceful element provides cover and public cause support for the more militant elements. They also make it harder to concentrate forces to deal with them.

In turn, the militant add teeth to the peaceful element.

An intelligent government acts early, before the militant elements can come to bear. But for best results both (technically all 3, including political) are required.

Another good example are the Irish troubles. The IRA, while prominent, couldn't "win". The marches, and Sinn Fein did.

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 48 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

The people in charge want to fill private prisons with a vulnerable population who have no recourse as they have little or no rights. It's a grift at the expense of human lives. They don't actually care about immigration, they're just using white supremisists as pawns to achieve their goals. They'll also use them to eliminate political opposition to avoid eventual consequences if anyone with a spine ever gets back in power.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 8 hours ago

First they came for immigrants ...

No, honey, I wasn’t at the strip club… I was, uh, an undercover ICE agent!

[–] regedit@feddit.online 18 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'll take divorcee for $200, please, Alec!

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

That's a rad idea.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 40 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

If you see an armed person with a mask, assume hostile intent. Call 911 and report masked people with guns.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 19 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I mean... yes but that's only going to slightly annoy. Sadly I think this is going to take actually using a "stand your ground" law correctly. IE how the hell can anyone argue against, I saw a gang of masked men with a gun coming towards me and I feared for my life.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (2 children)

The dream is for trigger-happy cops to show up and start shooting at armed individuals in masks.

Teach both groups a lesson about how to approach citizens.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Reality is, cops are as, if not more, likely to shoot at you or help ICE kidnap you to a concentration camp

Cue glitter being declared a weapon of mass destruction.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 54 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Okay ,so if they covered in glitter, they're ICE. If not, they're kidnappers for god knows what. I think it's imperative people be able to distinguish their kidnappers, since the federal government is unable to do this.

Cover them both in glitter. If you can't tell a kidnapper from an ICE agent they should all go to jail.

[–] dumbass@quokk.au 8 points 6 hours ago

me walking out of a strip club after getting a bunch of dances: I'M NOT ICE! I'M JUST A PERVERT!

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 27 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Shit! An ICE agent!

No honey, I am a stripper.

Is this true? I haven’t seen articles or videos about it yet.

[–] rysiek@szmer.info 39 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Best I can tell it originated from a satire website. It is still hilarious.

This is a memes community. Take anything and everything posted here with a grain of salt. Or glitter.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 22 points 8 hours ago

Maybe this will give people some fabulous ideas.

Is there an online database for naming and shaming them yet?

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 22 points 7 hours ago

I’ve seen this link floating around:

We used to use tar and feathers... Oh how we've fallen as a civilization.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly, this is way better because of the implications of what they've been doing. Also, their neighbors will know to avoid them.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I imagine one of them going home, getting a side eye and trying to claim "no, I was at a strip club, honest."
