The idea that you need armored trucks with tripod-mounted automatic rifles on top to harass the homeless is completely nuts.

hahah hilarious. the united states 'ice' is a joke of epic proportions... those people should feel embarrassed and ashamed of being employed by it.

They're the people who want to harass and beat people up but who couldn't get hired by any other law enforcement

The citizenry needs to arm themselves and start putting this trash in the ground.

The problem is that civil unrest can also serve as an excuse for massive violence against the people. Hence the decision to repel them using rotting fruit instead of firearms

Yeah, I think that was the purpose of the whole "raid" this time. They're really hoping to incite a riot that makes them look useful in propaganda rather than like a colossal waste of taxes that reveals the recent HR Bill as the grift that it is.

That’s how you get a massacre of historic proportions.

Such a massacre could result in change, but it’s not a guarantee and people will die.

These are the silliest goddamn people. Dangerous, yes, but only because they’re so damned scared of everybody else on the planet.

Their mothers really should have hugged them more… but I understand why they wouldn’t.

Because we live what we learn. We all as a society failed them, generation after generation. The most unlovable among us are those who need it the most. Not coddling or empty flattery, but real love, that knows when to say yes and when to say no.
