MODERATORS
I wanna see security footage of them posted online, so other businesses in the area know there are vigilantes posing as secret police.
This is how the brownshirts operated. Just thugs, power trippin', and attracting the absolute worst people who WANT to wear balaclavas and have the excuse to be intimidating assholes and have the power to bundle people into vans (or railcars).

At some point, someone is going to fire the first shot. Then it's open season on ICE agents. And you know what? I'm okay with that.
I do wonder how all the "violence is never the answer" folks will go if it comes to that. I think a lot of them would side with ICE, sadly.
Personally, I won't be upset if a would-be nazi meets an abrupt end to their career.
The colonies didn't resort to violence when unfairly taxed, they just offered a tea party.

“Violence is never the answer” types are just controlled opposition. Any and every peaceful protest that doesn't have the risk of escalating to violence can and is just ignored. Did those anti war protests against Bush II's wars ever amount to anything?

You're absolutely right with thinking they'll stick with ICE. People who value Status Quo over all else ("it hurts my head thinking about the world changing, why can't everything just stay the same???????") always have and always will capitulate to Fascist regimes, because it removes the need for critical thought and the obligation to stand for anything. Moderates will be the death of us if we let them.
It's not a new thought. There's the grey hypocritical mass that obeys, which is the main body behind any fascist regime.
BTW, von Stauffenberg was pretty extreme right, yet he tried to assassinate Hitler, it's not known of any moderates trying to do that.

By all means, FIGHT THESE PEOPLE. You owe them nothing.
Incredible to see this kind of solidarity, tbh.
Bullies melt when faced with even the tiniest bit of resistance. Because they are fucking cowards. All bullies are fucking cowards.
They know what they’re doing is illegal, and they only get away with it because some people let them. Don’t be one of those people. When you see your rights being violated, resist! When you see the rights of others being violated, resist then too!
The actions of the manager of the restaurant Chang Chang were not only American, they were patriotic.
Isn't this the exact reason Americans have so many guns, to oppose tyranny at the hands of the state? Funny how the most vehemently anti-gun control people are the same ones clapping and cheering as government thugs bundle people into detention centers without warrants.
Because having a gun for fun or feeling of superiority is morally easier than having it as part of citizen's duty.
Makes sense. Maybe should call people of the same political opinions to some responsibility so that they'd arm themselves.
Yep. The Germans coined a nice term, critically: Vorauseilender Gehorsam - pre-emptive obedience. Don't do it.
Sometimes not doing it may cost you. When the society is in terminal stage, that is.
When everyone does "preemptive obedience", just not doing it and politely asking "ok, but who you are, please provide some identification and such, or at least explain me how you are different from a random person demanding it, I don't know who you are and why are you demanding this" might cause dangerous levels of fury in someone who is not a random person, unfortunately, just treats a request for their correct identification (which they would be able to provide) and reasons as an insult.
To not let it reach that level, you shouldn't, yes.
Actually maybe we will have a period of history when Germans save everyone from tyranny. I've read they are thinking of returning conscription and are growing military industries rapidly. Maybe for a good cause this time. Should be their turn. LOL.

What are the odds it was a couple magats pretending to be ICE to fuck with immigrants or people the think are immigrants.
Depressingly high.
But also…depressingly low. The fact that they couldve been actual govt officials behaving this way is…worse?
Odds are pretty damn good, I'd say.
Still, it's a distinction barely worth making. Garden varity pigs doing this shit are equally as unjust as brand name Pigs doing it.

These guys probably weren't even ICE. At this point, treat it like an attempted kidnapping, or better yet, an attempted 'robbing' of your employees, and give them a free sample of buckshot.
The footage and other complaints I've seen it could be both. Thugs either way.
Spoiler: They do need a warrant.
Also "you are tresspassed" is a magical phrase that turns ICE agents into criminals and armed ICE agents into armed criminals that you can pull a weapon on.
Funnily enough the "second amendment" crowd has been completely silent about all this shit. But people really have to use those stand your ground laws.
I've given up on humanity after the racist Karen in Minneapolis raised a shitload of money off of a Christian based fundraising website while pretending to be the victim of calling a 5 year old racial slurs.
Like we have a problem. Society preinternet didn't have this problem, society after internet didn't have this problem you could be called a dick with no recourse.
Once society figured out you can just make money on being a racist asshole and be crowd funded for it, that's when society went to shit

Several restaurants pushed back on Tuesday. Here’s an actual article instead of a tweet:

How about letting them in the kitchen, and not letting them out? (until well done)
Or a walk in freezer to preserve for later.
Fake ICE agents, the other white meat.

From the set up, I’d have expected the agents to have unleashed whatever was in that manila folder. You’d think it was important if it was one of the only things they brought in.
Now I’m thinking it was less ICE agents carrying a warrant and more “militia leader bought a pack of folders at Staples” and told his racist minions a folder will get you through doors like wearing hi-vis or a ladder will.
