More detail and links in the thread.

ICE raided the Westlake Home Depot in Los Angeles this morning. LATU organizers snapped some photos from the raid—one sticks out: ~~ICE~~ Border Patrol agents rolling up in a Penske rental truck.

Wonder where they got the idea😬

Trying to avoid detection? Is this policy now? Are they now doing roving gangs in this?

it's really dangerous to be in there like that. like what if the latch got wrapped up or seized up with a foreign object like fence wire and somebody spiked the external fuel tank and lit it. or just fired blindly into the truck and let darkness and panic do the rest.

there's a pretty good reason professional militaries use armored transport. same with those paramilitary groups of law enforcement like SWAT and HRT using armored vehicles. even insurrectionary groups will modify civilian vehicles to make them more durable to purpose.

meat heads do shit like this because, despite their endless bluster, they still subconsciously operate under the assumption that they aren't really fighting an actual hot war with threats.

you put a bunch of guys in helmets, masks, armor, and hand them automatic weapons to ambush unarmed civilians from civilian vehicles and maybe it's a sign that you are escalating the occupation to a level of intensity you're not tactically prepared for.

what if someone just like idk rammed the back of it really hard with their car, seems like that'd be pretty dangerous for a bunch of guys standing around with no seatbelts

It would be really, really sad if the rifle in OP's pic was to accidently shoot someone else in the truck in the foot, like that guy in the middle.

And by sad, I mean "fucking hilarious please God make it happen."

[-] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Especially with ICE proudly recruiting uneducated people and even teenagers. Some funny stuff is bound to start happening

I hope every American understands that if we do not Nuremberg 2.0 these motherfuckers it's over, right? At that point it will be as clear to them as it was to John Brown. Or it should be, and it is a personal failure on their part if they do not see it.

A couple months ago I called a particular Bluesky poster slash lawyer a shitlib. I poked fun at his post where he said Trump was an imbecile and what he was doing was illegal and anti-constitutional. Yeah, we know. But what will the democrats do about it?

His fan base made fun of me. And he quoted my post which he must of thought would embarrass me but it made me laugh. I didn't bother to reply to the people making fun of me. My point was the OP is a type of lib I cannot stand. I'd seen him make post after post after post about the racist history of the US and fundamental and unjust problems in the constitution. In 178x blah blah blah and in 183x blah blah the fuck blah.

I'd never seen him say a single word about what the democrats and everyday Americans must do to stop the current racist situation and racist administration. I'm certain that he'll join the libs next year in their highly irritating election season custom. They'll make a cicada-like "blue no matter who" drone of Vote! Vote! Vote! Vooooooote! Vote! Vote! Vote! Vooooooote!

Now is always too soon. I don't know if these people understand history is a living thing and they are a part of it. Not truly. Their actions say otherwise. To use a clumsy metaphor it's like they think reality is a boat and the past and the present is the time the course gets changed. The present you just helplessly hold on and "ride it out."

This tweet.

A liberal is someone who opposes every war except the current war and supports all civil rights movements except the one that’s going on right now.

And this reply.

On some level they don't believe history was an actual past present but is just a story.

I wish Nitter would allow sorting replies by most popular. Oh, well!

The historical illiteracy required to be a good liberal makes it mesh well with settler

not just a nuremberg 2.0, a nuremberg where we hang more than a couple dozen of them.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Nuremberg was borderline worthless because the dipshits running it were obsessed with giving the Nazis as much aid as possible so that it was "fair". We need show trials.

This thread includes video taken from inside the truck. They are so fucking awful and [redacted]

This morning, Border Patrol agents hiding in Penske rental trucks raided a Home Depot in Los Angeles to grab day laborers standing around, which the Border Patrol's current CA lead Gregory Bovino called "Operation Trojan Horse." Raises very serious questions about violation of the court order.

Patriot Front lookin losers coming out of moving trucks like rats do this, but I guess they all got a job at border patrol and ICE. catgirl-disgust

[-] tocopherol@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

I don't know where the statement is, but they specifically said people pardoned from J6 were still eligible to serve for DHS and ICE. I haven't seen direct evidence but I'd be completely unsurprised if pre-organized paramilitary groups became ICE squads.

31 members of a white supremacist group arrested near Idaho Pride

Authorities arrested 31 members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front near an Idaho pride event Saturday after they were found packed into the back of a U-Haul truck with riot gear.

Would be a shame if one of these got into an accident and all those pigs got pasted. A real shame.

Shame.
