People should call and report suspicious armed men about to rob or do something nefarious. Get the locals all twisted up with reports. Get them scared then sick them on the federallies.

Pathetic. Take off your masks, pussies. I wanna see the faces of the people who kidnap my friends.

[–] Airowird@lemm.ee 27 points 4 days ago (1 children)

All I see are a couple of MS13 members about to perform a kidnapping, better alert SWAT!

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

So if we just started surrounding and fucking them up, is that still assault on an officer, or just good old fashion assault? Asking for a friend.

But for real, why is all of this so shitty looking?

Every fascist state I can think of gave (relatively to the states wealth) a lot on paramilitary troops uniform image.

Even mafia or mere street gangs know they have to invest in some style.

USA should try like a foreign-exchange-presidents or something, then after a 6 month semester, boom - ICE gets designers threads, the troops can march, and all the Signal messaging is in Korean.

(Im not sarcastic about the question - why don't the ICE agents need to look "cool" & distinguished? Are they just some sort of in-between militia? Or is that actually all that & I just don't recognise it? They dress like poor students applying for their summer office job.)

Two reasons. One, the fascists are shitty at their jobs. Like, genuinely shitty. The efficiency of fascism in general is nothing but propaganda, but the people in charge are pure, privileged, nowhere-to-fail-but-up, idiots.

Two, they're in a rush. You're absolutely correct - they're an in-between militia. The uniformity will come if they're given time to dig in their position, but right now, they are desperately expanding and solidifying their hold on the nation.

Their power is an illusion. They don't have the training, supplies, or leadership in place to actually control the country by force right now, so they're just throwing whatever they have out there to overwhelm the innocent while they work on dismantling the bureaucracy and redirecting our military and local LEO capabilities toward domestic oppression.
