Parallax depends on the focal length of the lens, and distance from the photographer. This looks real to me.
I'd wager it's more likely staged with a wife of an ice agent and a photographer than AI.

If you don't do any harm. All the theater goers know your about to light it and can leave if they don't want to be there and it's done as a form of protest.
Why do you keep using an example where its potentially significantly dangerous?
You can keep doing what-about-isms all day. This was a clear first amendment protected act and the charges are being used to punish political speech.
No. You cannot.
The act explicitly was done in protest. As an act of first amendment protected speech, as flag burning was explicitly determined to be by the supreme court.
The application of these laws is purely political. Used solely because the object burned was the flag. Intent is always included in prosecuting criminal acts. It is often the determining factor in whether laws even apply.
Burning a flag a California forest is a false equivalency. And for the most part, yes, you could go out into the forest and burn a flag. It would be stupid and you would be liable for any damages you caused if it started a wildfire. You wouldn't be prosecuted just for burning the flag.
The entire premise on first amendment speech applying here is super important, because if you can make it criminal to do something related, like starting a fire at all, you have, in effect, made that act of free speech illegal. This is crucial. Fundamental.
I remember that image/gif.
Line up back wheels with rear of the car you are packing behind.
Cut the wheel all the way to turn towards the curb and back up.
When 45° to the curb, turn the wheel the other way to go straight.
If necessary, straighten out as needed.
That gets like, 90% of whatcha need to do. Your individual car might change it a little based on turning radius, but it's not that hard. A little practice and you'll know where your rear curbside tire is and how long your hood is.
Chicago has a rule. To work for the city in any capacity. You MUST live in the city. Police, fire, City Hall, public works. You live in the place you are tasked with protecting or serving. You can't even live in the suburbs 1 block outside city limits.
This is explicitly the opposite in many other places where police are specifically not allowed to live where they police. From what I understand, it's so that there isn't a conflict of interest enforcing rules against neighbors.
Illinois already has a state guard in its constitution that would be able to be activated by the governor.

Now, most of the other things you discussed would be major hurdles. It also would be seen as an escalation that Illinois was planning for a clash with National Troops.
It probably could be done under the pretense that the state guard needs more capacity to handle state emergencies while it's national guard troops have been federalized.
What's been interesting is that the "mission" the Federal Government has been tasking these units with are designed to pass the smell test. "Protect federal buildings and federal agents." It's a guise that makes the individuals objection to their mission orders harder to be considered illegal. It's not "arrest protestors" or "detain illegals."
Thats a wild stat to through out without a source. It's like you consider some people are bad and just inherently criminals.
But we can ignore that for a minute, it's really not important
Let's spend a moment on how you just mentioned "crimes." Because there is a lot of difference between crimes. We have so many laws on the books. And far too many of them result in jail or prison time. We simply can't keep treating every single offence as one that involves losing a portion of a person's life. And that's not even mentioning the impact on ones family life and job for even arrests with days or weeks of incarceration.
Criminal sentencing has ballooned as we dehumanize people who make a mistake or bad decision for whatever reason. As soon as I hear someone describe someone as a criminal, I can tell that they don't see them as a person anymore. They've developed a preconceived notion that they are irredeemably bad. It's how the police and how ICE make out the people it's targeting in a way to shift public opinion. They are bad, so we can do anything to them because they aren't people worthy of giving a shit about.
But "criminals" are people. Many of which have made a poor decision due to circumstances beyond their control. Many who regret what they did. They don't deserve to be dehumanized.
How much does it cost to file a lien? Even if it's bullshit, it's probably something they'll have to deal with. I can only imagine hundreds of liens on Trump tower for them to sort through.
Fuck you. You aren't welcome. We don't want you in our city.
So are they expecting him to have a heart attack soon?
It says "Hi"
