    ICE enabled these men with immature child minds to be able to play openly with guns. Look, he has both a big truck AND a big gun. Now that’s overcompensation!

      Pretty sure that’s a Jeep which from a racist cult perspective is arguably worse.

        Gen-X here. I see a mix of that and millennials. The Gen-X ones are hilarious, they aren’t fit enough for any sort of actual first responder type work, so obviously ICE is all about scare tactics and outnumbering the weak.

          I see a lot of millennial and gen Z in the videos. Doesn’t surprise me, MeToo and GamerGate was huge for millennials and for every woman that reported a MeToo, there was an angry guy wanting to get retribution. You can’t convince me many of these men weren’t getting MeToo’d

      this is not a federal agent

      I’m sorry to report that it is, in fact, a federal agent.

      This isn’t even strictly new. It’s just new to middle class domestic white people. If you were growing up in Nicaragua in the '80s or Iraq in the '00s or Venezuela and Yemen in the last three years, you know all about this guy. If you were living in the hood during a police raid or slum clearance, you know about the guy. If you’ve ever worked near the US/Mexico border during an election year, this guy was all the fuck over the place.

        i’m simply saying if they are masked, not identified, and wearing tacticool mall minja shit - ignore and call 911 to confirm. result may vary based on socioeconomic and racial status. sadly.

    He looks afraid. He’s in public, and he’s openly afraid of being recorded. Someone like this should never be allowed to touch a weapon.

    The best part is, there no easy way to tell if this masked man in camo in a regular grey jeep wildly pointing his weapon is an official lunatic or not. Someone should call the police on the potential shooter. See something say something amirite?

    Man.

    Hypothetically (no, FBI, I’m not opening up), it’d be so easy for crooks to dress up and pretend to be ICE.

    Especially cartels. They must be having a field day with this, on top of all the attention drawn off them.

        Holy shit.

        Off topic, but I searched “cartel pretends to be ice” on DDG, and literally got hundreds of cheap AI slop YT videos of supposed ICE cartel busts. Replies are either bots or idiot believers; no one is calling them out! YT is not taking them down. Most uploaded today or yesterday.

        The internet is toast. RIP.


        But yeah, if big orgs are doing this, it doesn’t seem high profile yet.

    We can never let these ICE guys stop being scared.

    I’ve seen too many videos now where ICE agents abandon their kidnappings once enough of a crowd forms. They are absolutely scared and they know what they’re doing is wrong.

          Agreed. The rank and file of both the Confederacy and Nazi Germany were let off with a slap to the wrist. Only 210ish people at Nuremberg were executed.

          We should collect the accounting books of ICE. Anyone listed as being paid by the Regime for serving as ICE and similar functions, should be executed after a trial against the Trump Regime as a whole. I don’t want these willing monsters to be my neighbors, nor should they be allowed to raise families in their own foul image for generations to come.

          They are a threat to democracy and human decency, since their ideology is all about harming innocent people and a neverending greed.

        And we need to include the people who CALLED and REPORTED their neighbors and random people at resturants etc to give ICE tips. ICE is a bunch of randos from other states, they don’t know where anyone is. They’ve been getting tipped off.

  • That’s not ice, that’s a gang member with an illegal gun. I mean, what law enforment conceals their identity? It’s gotta be one of those “violent illegals” they’ve been saying. Can a “good guy with a gun” please do your job and protect our country from these armed thugs, who are obviously just impersonating ice?

      That little paintball gun would get to look back at my 1911, but I don’t fit the demographics they are currently harassing. I have little doubt they’ll be coming after my like soon enough.

        Worse, even if they were right, they’re still wrong.

        You can’t legally shoot someone who is just standing there doing nothing wrong, even with paintballs or non-lethal weapons.

        If you pointed a paintball gun at somebody IRL, and when questioned by the cops, you said it was just a paintball gun, that would not be exculpatory. It would be a confession.

          Even more wrong, because the person is not just standing there - they’re in a fucking car which moving. Imagine the consequences of shooting tear gas into a moving car…

            If the person is in a moving car then they should straight up not be filming, unless they are in the back seat of the driver’s side. Either way, shooting a tear gas canister into a car would be incredibly dangerous.

      You weren’t kidding. The first couple were in her defense. Then the Twitter armada shows up with PFP’s exactly like you’d expect.
