Fucking fascists
Just being honest. If someone in mask comes to my car, I'm pulling away. If you are caught by a wheel, then it's on you. Identify who you are.
They wouldn't hide their face if what they were doing wasn't shameful
Not even remotely hyperbolic here, I 100% would assume they’re randos gang members or doing criminality attempting to kidnap then murder me, and I’d fight back accordingly. Not even a badge on a neck chain or belt clip jfc covered head to toe
Just the same as if a mugging becomes “get into the van” no you fucking shouldn’t because their goals are now no longer your property, but now your life
Never let the assailant take you to the secondary location.
Urban self defense classes have been teaching this since the 1970s, at least.
Send this to your MAGA relatives with the caption "these guys good or bad?" and no additional context.
Seem to be all white, obviously good
Looks like four domestic terrorists.
That's because they are.
I am curious to see how many incidentscome out where there are of ACTUAL kidnappings that happen because some geniuses get the idea to just go grab some people and throw them in a van while dressing up like these ICE idiots.
You want to give gangs a free pass to grab random people or rivals off the street? Make your "official govt activity" look like gang activity.
It may already be happening in immigrant communities. What are their families going to do - report it to the cops?
No badges, no uniforms, driving unmarked vehicles and wearing masks? Those are obviously kidnappers, Your Honor.
"That's why my client acted reasonably and dare I say heroically, when they saw these masked men dragging the witness into an unmarked vehicle, drew their legally carried sidearm, and engaged these individuals until they were no longer a threat."
Why hasn't this happened yet?!
This country should never be safe for predators who want to throw people into vans.
Because migrants are generally peaceful, non-violent people who just want to work hard and improve their lives.
But this is America, always has been
This is nightmare fuel
How does anyone know they're ICE? what if six guys in masks showed up and threw these guys in an unmarked van and says THEY'RE ICE?
They aren't ICE. There's not enough ICE agents for the job. At BEST, they are bounty hunters deputized by ICE and given $1k for each brown person they bring in.
You're right. And if you feel threatened, you could just shoot them. "Had no idea they were cops. They hid their faces like gang members."
They look like terrorists.
Well they are wearing masks and striking fear on a civilian population for a political agenda, so I think your terminology is textbook.
they are terrorists
There is absolutely no proof that these people are ICE, or any other agents of the state. Do not assume masked strangers throwing people in vehicles are law enforcement. Especially if they don't identify themselves.
We all need to stop making this assumption, and to start encouraging others to also not make this assumption.
My favorite so far is the people who follow these fuckers around with megaphones and broadcast the rights people have when dealing with ICE, numbers of local lawyers and advocates, and other instructions to help people either avoid the interaction or at least have a fighting chance to due process if they are detained.
What would be better is if, when people were being kidnapped by these brownshirts-at-home, the bystanders started beating these kidnappers to a bloody, gelatinous pulp. That way, the street sweepers could come and gently push their mouldering viscera where they belong: the gutter.
Remember: there is no evidence that these people have the force of law behind them. Citizens should not allow others to be kidnapped in broad daylight.
Americans have tons of guns, why not use them against these fascist cunts? They’re not police, they refuse to identify themselves, they wear masks to not be identified, the kidnap men, women and children, it really doesn’t matter to them. They’re also racist because of racial profiling and they’ll send you off to a prison in El Salvador.
Theres probably a lot more they do, but the list above should be more than enough to arm yourselves against them.
It would be a real shame if people started dousing these fascist fucks with bright red hair dye so that they can be identified after they remove their fucking fash masks.
There are some pepper sprays that are mixed with red difficult-to-remove dye for the purpose of identifying those involved in an incident.
Legal in California!
Photoshop some darker skin on them and post them on some conservative site and see the difference in reactions.
can't wait for them to be gunned down in self defense.
it will be so strange, they will be gunned down in the middle of a busy street with countless passerbys, but somehow there will be no witnesses
Wait, that's how they're actually dressed? They just look like random people. The fact that they don't get shot more speaks a lot about how well behaved the people they are kidnapping are.
dont you guys have an amendment that allows you to shoot such militia?
for self defense against a rogue state and shit?
A handy guide to America:
Wearing a mask to prevent the spread of infection during a global pandemic? It's an excuse to hide your face, you literally cannot breate through it, and it's a symbol of leftist fascism.
Wearing a mask literally to hide your identity so you can physically accost and abduct anyone under the pretense of 'immigration authority' with zero need for due process so there are no repercussions when you are wrong? That's protecting your country.
They are terrorists.
