      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…

      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.

        Snip the mall ninja utility belt.

          The only problem with that sort of bravado is that the ICE agents are seldom alone, and it’s a fair bet there are even more waiting as backup in vehicles nearby. If somebody starts shooting at one of them it’s going to stir up a huge hornets nest that will likely result in a significant number of casualties.

          Edit: Oh, and ICE has indeed been operating in Oklahoma to some extent since at least April.

    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.

            Considering how the 1st Reconstruction got cancelled, and the Nazi elements that persist in Germany, I think that there is a great deal of evidence that mercy doesn’t work against systemic evils. The whole concept of Nazi, Confederate, and now MAGAT, ideology should go on trial…with death being the sentence if a whole class of participants are found guilty.

            Worked for ICE? You die.

            It isn’t kind, nor just. But this disease of evil needs to be uprooted, else it will spread into future generations of the nation. The Confederates and Nazis have proven this.

              I would 10 times rather have lived in postwar Germany than in post revolution France, China, Russia…

              Reconstruction is probably the one time that I know of when they were too lenient. Jefferson Davis of all people basically just walked free, and then on down. We’re still paying the price to this day for the betrayal of everything the union soldiers died for. But IDK how you can look at the history of blood thirst and lack of due process, after the revolution, and say “Yeah let’s do that I sure super want to live in that country.”

                Honestly, I do not know how harsh things should be. Part of the problem, is that it isn’t clear how we convince neoconfederates from being what they are. Talk of peace, empathy, and cooperation doesn’t seem to move the needle with MAGA.

                My impression, is that either they are only keyed to self-preservation in the face of extreme consequences, or simply lack the humanity to ever become better people if mercy was offered. Either way, it feels like a blunt solution is the only reliable way to remove MAGA from existence. It is my hope that by making it clear to MAGA aligned people what will happen if things go on, would make them reconsider…but if not, then at least I and others would become mentally prepared to force them to rest.

                When peace isn’t a option, violence is inevitable. If that has to be the way, I know whom I prefer to be removed from the mortal coil. Hopefully, it won’t come to that. But hope isn’t reliable.

                This whole situation is rotten. 😞

                  Completely agree. Democracy just can’t function if a third of the people in the country don’t want it, and just want their faction to rule by force, and that’s where we’re at right now.

                  All I’m saying is that postwar Germany is probably the best I am aware of out of a selection of bad historical precedents for how you recover from that situation into something approximating a stable and safe society. Organized trials with due process for anyone who killed innocent people or otherwise participated in the worst of the horrors, and acceptance of the idea that a lot of people, especially at the bottom of the org chart, just aren’t going to “get it” that anything that they did was wrong.

                  I think once the tribalism gets engaged firmly in people’s heads, where their faction is the one with God on its side and anyone who’s an enemy deserves to be snuffed out, you can’t really fix them from the outside. They have to either come to it themselves, or not, and in the meantime life has to move on as best it can. The problem with Germany as a precedent is that there was someone from outside to come and impose it…

In this case alone, the only good fascist is a dead fascist, they chose to harm us, so we don’t need to go through all the rigamarole of prosecuting such dangerous people to the community. Their actions speak louder than any words they could ever say in their defense. The only good fascist is a dead fascist. Shoot, stab, and string these traitors up every chance you get.

              You’re missing the point. It doesn’t matter how obvious their guilt is. We still need a formal process.

              We should never trust the government, or any authority, to call someone a criminal outright.

              Not to mention that capital punishment is barbaric. Yes, they are acting barbaric as well, but we should hold ourselves to a higher standard.

                I’m with you, and I’m all for due process. However, I have some questions that I would like to ask, as you seem well grounded.

                Are soldiers in a war that engage in active combat due the civil treatment of due process before they’re retaliated against?

                What constitutes a soldier in this case? Uniforms? Acting against people without any expectation of due process holding them accountable? State sanctioned? I must be missing something.

                Isn’t the states desire to suspend habeas corpus a tacit admission of desire for civil war against ones own peoples?

                I’m a bit confused – at what point we’re supposed to defend ourselves and not rely on due process? What is the proverbial line-in-the-sand where tolerance cedes way for intolerance – especially in regards to fascism?

                I think I must be missing something. Due process is great, but it doesn’t stop people from killing my family. It just holds them accountable after the fact. I’m not necessarily agreeing with the one you’re disagreeing with, I’m just wondering if your sense of tolerance will protect my loved ones from violent fascists and I’m starting to get the sense that doesn’t matter. I’m starting to get the sense that others will tell me I’m wrong for using violent means to protect myself and others from violence and I hope I’m wrong about that. Not trying to be disingenuous.

                Exactly, this isn’t to find the innocent among ice, it’s to put the expected behavior of the justice system into place so that way it doesn’t have a precedent like this. If we go from one government that ignores trial tights to another we aren’t getting the rule of law, and governments don’t cede power out of the goodness of their hearts. It’s also to establish and maintain legitimacy.

                The Nuremberg trials are the gold standard for a reason. The crimes were established, laid out, and the obviously guilty had the opportunity to defend themselves. This means that no legitimate historians doubt the crimes against humanity and the degree to which all 11 sentenced to execution (ten hanged, Göring killed himself after being sentenced) were responsible.

                Part of why fair trials are so good is that they serve as a steel man to your right to punish. And right now that matters.

                  My dude, I get that you’re angry, but think about your ideas for a second before ejaculating them onto the Internet.

                  Confirming that they are actually ICE and that they did terrible things IS WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR JUSTICE. Letting people randomly accuse others and having that accusation lead to a literal hanging is not justice. If that’s not what you mean then SAY WHAT YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE. We are real human beings having a conversation, not competing for Internet points.

          Jesse & James are far to woke and empathetic though. Several of their failures are because they couldn’t go through with plan with enough ruthlessness. Other groups of Team Rocket often have more initial success by having a lot less empathy.

    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.

      this is the best way because it takes away ICE’s biggest advantage. they are terrorists. they come out of nowhere, strike, and disappear again. their mobility gives them an enormous advantage. taking their biggest advantage away from them is the biggest thing you can do.

      courts try to threaten people who say jury nullification when your being selected voir dire, its better to say you dont believe in this or tha tlaw, or you dont like that person to show bias so you wont get selected, i have a summons coming up. if you try to say this on reddit or another forum they will try gatekeep jury duty. they choose dummies to be on the juries, the smart ones get out of it.

      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”

    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

    These people are helping immigrants apply to have their hearings held online. Press release on the subject. Spread the word!

      I couldn’t even watch it all because of the pointless screaming.

        You: “pointless screaming”

        Reality: people actually getting hit by thousands of pounds of metal.

        You’re already cooked or already a fucking piece of shit if that’s your takeaway…

    Why has no one taken to nabbing their fascist fratboi hats like trophies? Not that it’ll do much but I’m sure that some of them are wearing their favorite hat while committing these crimes.

    I believe Trump is deploying ICE agents in premium real estate locations. Of course they are sprinked throughout but think about it. He floated the idea with Gaza to until everyone reacted to his AI video.
