The crowd backed off after managing to free protesters held by agents. One ICE officer yelled, “We’ll get you next time!” while walking backward.
Numbers. As long as the crowd has numbers, they will give up. Send them packing with their tails between their legs.
When this is over, we are going to have to try, convict, and hang thousands of ICE agents for crimes against humanity. They are committing capital offenses. Many of them need to hang for this.
I don't think history has ever shown that the government will prosecute agents of the law for doing what the government told them to do.
They even sound like cartoon villains.
And I would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling protestors!
But...they didnt give up. The original target was taken.
Wonder how this would've gone down if all the protesters were also armed. All. Of. Them.
Somebody's starting to get the point of right to bear arms.
Remember when it was a common opinion in the left part of the Web that you should defend your rights legally, whatever that would mean if defending rights is usually done against the law trampling them.
Plenty of possibilities. Standoff, not happened, bloodbath…. I’m leaning towards “not happened”. These Stasi have proven time and again that they like to go for easy targets that are low risk. Kids in school, women, old people…
and blue areas, if they hit red areas where the illegal immigration is actually going, the gop and magats would be raising hell.
This is where we need to be.
Every American needs to be armed and we need to make it extremely clear to the federal government that we're ready and willing to use the 2nd amendment as it was originally intended.
If we look at American history, and how the police is dealing with the situations like that, it would've been a mass murder, which would've been later justified by the police as necessary action.
That's not what happened when the Black Panthers armed themselves. Police only like shooting at people who can't shoot back. And acorns.
Domestic terrorists.
Treat them as such.
So, this is purely for educational purposes, like googling jury nullification, but people should be aware of what a police "Stop Stick" is and how the police use them.
They're basically constructed out of stuff from the hardware store: a 2-3ft foam triangle cut from a sheet with a utility knife, ~2" steel tubes cut to a syringe-like point on either end and glued to the three faces of the triangle, then the whole thing wrapped in paper or fabric. When a vehicle runs one over the foam crushes and the tube-needles instantly deflate the tire. You can drive for a few minutes after being hit (until the now flat tire disintegrates and you're on the rim) but they work by...strongly deterring...someone from driving forward because of the amount of damage they cause and rendering the vehicle much less capable when trying to escape a persuit.
I see these posts and think "boy, I sure hope none of these anti-ICE people used laser pointers on themasked stazi... Sure would be a shame to use prime day to buy a load of laser pointers and hand them out"
Yeah or use infared lasers outside the visual spectrum and high wattage... they wouldnt see it coming. Sun glasses wouldnt stop the light either. But I never said this.
Be careful though because laser lights reflect and blind unintended targets.
Im surprised the street gangs or criminal elements in these cities haven’t popped a few ice agents by now
The presence of such people in San Francisco is wildly overstated by the media.
If they wear masks and don't identify themselves they are simply a criminal, and you can stand your ground.
It goes to show the fantasy of violence Muricans hold so dear is indeed just a fantasy
10 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, almost all with faces covered, tried to enter the courthouse at 100 Montgomery St. They were there to escort other agents already inside, who had a young immigrant man in custody. ICE has been routinely arresting asylum-seekers following their immigration hearings
are helping immigrants apply to have their hearings held online. Press release on the subject. Spread the word!
Fucking fascists. May they reap every ounce of pain and suffering they're inflicting on human beings. Shame.
On the flip side, how brave these protesters are. They are heroes in my eyes
Its self defense to stop ICE.
Do protesters ever try snatching the masks off these guys?
typically the goal of a protester is to protest as long as they can without being arrested and avoid escalation. these ICE goons are itching for someone, ANYONE, to give them a reason
I've been wondering if basic prank tactics can work like fucking with their mask.
Pull the mask up over the eyes. Snip the mall ninja utility belt. Pants them.
Or toss their hat real quick. Pull the mask up and zip tie it closed above their head. They will be forced to pull it off their head all together.
Such things would require outnumbering each of them by multiples of course.
I'm wondering if you could get recognition positive pictures by bombarding them with high lumen IR lights and an IR camera. it would essentially "see through" the mask like those thin blouses women wore that ultimately were exposed by the same method.
Ah, the land of the free
Cowards. These people are cowards. Unmask and dox these pathetic humans.
You know these people have to sleep at some point.
iirc there was (may still be ongoing) protests at hotels ICE agents where staying at with the goal of not letting them get sleep...
Hard to watch. Those people are brave as hell. Need more like them, a lot, lot more.
