This is very similar to what the nazi and the soviets did. Removing people under pretext of law with no regard to process or people. It doesn't seem as extreme but the course is definitely clear.

To the troll that keeps regurgitating "illegal aliens" rhetoric. Dressing up with masks and shit doesn't grant one an authority to pick people of the streets. Any "leader" that enables this just wants chaos and doesn't give a fuck about the nation. It's just tyranny under the guise of patriotism. It happened many times before.

Well put, Mr. Satan

Time for leftists to start cosplaying as ICE and disappearing redneck shitbags

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 100 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh so they can breathe through those masks. Isn't it strange how it was difficult for them 4 years ago but now they're totally fine with it.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

Tbf, the mask is a bigger inconvenience when you're picking up veggies from the food isle than when chasing down migrants while hoping over a couple of fences. Don't your see? The aerodynamic design of the mask will...

[–] NerfHerder@lemm.ee 85 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Why aren't masked and armed individuals with weapons and no badges, that make attempts to abduct people, being shot?

[–] Grimtuck@lemmy.world 60 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Because the whole second amendment thing was about carrying a gun in the hope that you get to shoot a black person, a school kid or a teacher.

Probably because the Democrats are so anti-gun/weapon. The target demographic probably leans anti-weapon, even if they're not necessarily Democrats. The combination keeps them more vulnerable. It's even worse when carrying weapons in these areas is outright banned: no training, no permits, only police. The safety of the group is generally prioritized over the safety of the individual. Which, like here, can be a problem.

From how they're acting, it seems only a matter of time. They seem to check all of the boxes for a lethal or deadly force in nearly every state, even the strict ones. An unidentified suspiciously dressed group aggressively surrounding you and preventing your retreat? Lethal/deadly force can often be used to defend another person. Someone else can shoot these idiots in plain clothes with no identification.

Even if "police" identify themselves late, it seems to be setting themselves up for a weak defense

Never have I hoped the L.A street gangs just take this matter into their own hands

They will be doing this to citizens standing in line to vote.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

There's reporting that they're already doing this to citizens. You need to show them your papers to prove you're a citizen, but if you're not of the right skin tone they might decide they think your papers are fake and detain you.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

How bout we do the same to them?

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 99 points 3 days ago (13 children)

Where's the well regulated militia you Americans scream about so loudly when someone suggests not letting a mentally ill child own an assault rifle?

Isn't this exactly the government tyranny that argument is used to defend against?

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 34 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I think they’re the same people that are locking up random immigrants

Where's the well regulated militia you Americans scream about

So, one could argue that the well regulated militia in question is constituted by the National Guard, as they nominally are the armed forces of individual States, and can be nationalized under certain circumstances.

Except for the fact that Trump just nationalized the California National Guard when he's nominally not supposed to....

They're too busy gargling republican boot to bother rising up against the tyranny they've cried about for decades.

To a unnerving amount of people's surprise, they only cared about the power of the state when they thought it was being used improperly (having a tolerant democracy), and are more than happy to see it used the way they want (hurting brown people)

That looks like a gang, operates like a gang, and should be kicked off of the turf of any self-respecting gang, imho.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 50 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Honestly where the fuck are the gangbangers in all this? All that talk about fuck the police and how hard they are and all and there hasnt been one incidence of ICE being rolled up on by the westside crips.

All the CPB I've seen in the southwest wear standardized uniforms, drive clearly marked vehicles, and don't hide their faces.

[–] Woht24@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

So anyway, I started blasting

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 35 points 3 days ago

I can't wait for the trial about it gunning them down is self defense,

if it is a trump appointed judge, then it will clearly be considered illegal, which mean the whole point of 2nd amendment (defend against a tryranic government is BS)

or reasonable judge, which will determine it is self defence, then let the fun begin.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 113 points 3 days ago (6 children)

There's like no difference between them and these guys.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 46 points 3 days ago

Yes there is, I can see these guys’ eyes.

Dox all these fuckers. Attack and take their masks. Spread photos everywhere you can. Make their lives terrible. They're not law enforcement they're gestapo.

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 56 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Perhaps the only valid use for glitter

Worse.

Gestapo did not wear masks and they had their legal documentation/warrants ready and available. They were not hiding.

Buy some guns and do it to them then.

It's America

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 39 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I mean, honestly, even without violence, this would be a fantastic protest technique. Imagine if whenever there was an ICE raid, there were hundreds of people dressed indistinguishably from the ICE thugs. Normally this doesn't work at protests. If you put on a fake LAPD uniform, they'll arrest you for impersonating a police officer. But since these thugs aren't in uniform, then you're not impersonating an officer by dressing like them.

"ICE thug" should be the standard uniform for every protester. Watch as their raids collapse into absolute chaos as they can't figure out who is actually on their team. Watch as the police thugs escorting ICE get completely confused as they don't know who to shoot their rubber bullets and tear gas at. Just imagine protesters milling about in active raid scenes, walking in like they own the place, giving contradictory orders to ICE foot soldiers, etc. Hell, the protesters could "detain" many of the people being seized, load them into unmarked vans, drive them a mile away, and then just let them go.

This can be weaponized, all without using actual weapons. Protesters could dress up like these ICE thugs and completely destroy their operations. ICE have forgotten that cops wear uniforms not just to protect the public, but also so that cops can tell who is actually a police officer.

It's time ICE learned exactly why police wear uniforms. By not wearing uniforms, they've made themselves comically vulnerable to mass disruption by nonviolent protesters. They've completely destroyed their own chain of command, and they are vulnerable.

We should respond to these people as what they are, domestic terrorists.

Going to be fun putting all these monsters on trial after Trump is gone.

Gonna be fun watching democrats be like "trust the system! the wheels of justice turn slowly!" until it's too late. Again.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 4 points 2 days ago

This will be the sad reality at best some show trials with pardons when red regime whores are back in power

He is old, unhealthy, and hopefully mortal.

[–] jmf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

I think the "hah good one" was more in response to believing the masked thugs will ever be brought to justice, even if the dems ever gain power again.

Honey, trials don't convict fascists. That's a fundamental misunderstanding of law.

Fucking shiro ishi ended uo dean of tokyo medical school. Nobotsuke kishi's dynasty only ended when some guy killed his grandson with a home made electric shotgun. Most of the italian fascists, aside from Mussolini, who notably did not get a trial, ended uo employed by the cia.

Germany wasn't much better.

You don't give nazis trials.

My Army training would kick in, and I would shoot the terrorists.
