What a shithole country.
So they strapped explosives to the door then told him to come out…of the booby trapped door?
🎶 It’s beginning to look a lot like fascists, everywhere you go 🎶
Gestapo
I implore you all to read the full article. The guy’s truck struck a CBP vehicle week ago. They let him go. Now, they assault and terrorize his family. Read the article. Get mad.
Americans need to treat ICE agents how we treated nazis during WWII.
Yeah, they wouldn’t have let him go if it was on purpose.
This is excessive. There were kids in the house. This is the second in one week.
This is such a case of excessive force. You did not need to literally blow the door off at 6am. Also ofc no one heard the announcement to come out at 6am.
I almost garrentee this was an intimidation technique. I feel like if you actually wanted to arrest him and not just scare his wife and children, you could have surveilled him and easily figured out that he left for work.
Pathetic
It’s beyond that
They weren’t even enforcing immigration, everyone in the home is a US citizen
ICE: it’s fake!
They’re fucking morons.
Now watch, as americans angrily, sits back down.
It’s surprising that a country where there are more guns than people, due to the well known quirk of literally writing into the constitution that the people should be armed in order to stop government tyranny, it sure is enduring a lot of government tyranny.
It’s not that everyone owns a gun, but that some people own a lot of guns. And it just so happens to be that those people support this kind of government tyranny.
It would be a very different story if the “tyranny” was punishing people for hate speech. That would be the wrong people being hurt, and that’s unacceptable.
Thank you. These chuckle fucks who are casting aspersions have no clue whats really happening.
They showed up in record numbers for the no kings protests. So what are you talking about sitting down?
Showed up for one day, and then went back to work the next day after letting off some steam.
Trump is still in charge. You still have a dictator.
ICE still does what it wants. Masked unidentifiable men are still kidnapping people off the streets.
America is being destroyed at record pace and “the land of the brave” have done very little so far to stop it.
The Iraq war 2 protests had record numbers but it still happened. Protest needs to either be sustained over a period of time or combined with other actions. So far, No Kings hasn’t done that and it’s therefore achieved nothing.
There have been more and more protests, and the suze of the turn out grows each time. The nyc mayoral primary has also show a massive shift in voting priorities that has the potential to drastically shift politics in the country permanently. People are doing things, we just have to keep on doing them until something works. Dictators have ruled the majority of the populations of Earth for a very long time for a reason. They have the advantage.
I’m not denying some people are doing things. But not enough. Not nearly enough. Trump’s approval ratings are still in the mid to high 40s ffs.
That excuse might fly in most countries, but not in one specifically designed to resist turning into a dictatorship. One that has spent its history going around the world telling (and violently forcing) other countries how to run their country. One that has very loudly, very vocally, decried dictatorships and puffed up it’s chest declaring it to be the pinnacle of democracy, liberty, and freedom. Constantly, loudly, saying that all those school shootings are just unfortunate collateral damage because the population requires guns to resist tyranny. Where’s these checks and balances we always hear about? Where’s the resistance to tyranny? Where is the land of the brave and the home of the free?
Too many Americans don’t care, they only want money or their bread and circuses. Politics be damned. Convince those greedy, selfish, lazy fucks to care or risk being doomed to dictatorship for a very long time.
My comment, obviously, doesn’t encompass all Americans. I’m not xenophobic. But it does encompass a large enough percentage that a well documented fascist dictatorship is being allowed to happen. One where the dictator said he would be one on day one, and he was still voted for. One where the plan was published online for all to read in advance, and nothing was done.
No Kings was huge, but then it fizzled out. And each day that passes allows the Republicans a stronger and stronger hold, as they arrest and deport those who may create resistance.
First they came for the
socialistsimmigrants…
Showed up for one day, and then went back to work the next day
You’ll find that many of those people still have a family to feed.
I see that you’re still doing something useful though, whining on the Internet. So good on you.
Have you done any organizing for activist events? Because that would be useful.
A family that may not exist once the Nazis have carte blanche. Do you think resistance movements in other countries don’t also have families to feed? They still manage multi day resistance. If you go home after one day then you achieve nothing. I know there’s a huge wealth gap in America but there’s still huge swathes of suburbia who can survive without income for a while. Despite what you’ve been led to believe there’s more to life than generating money. Stand up for it.
Believe it or not, I have. Nothing to do with No Kings though, because if you look at my server name I’m across the pond and have other problems to deal with.
A family that may not exist once the Nazis have carte blanche.
That word “may” is the weak point of the argument. In contrast, a family will not exist if they don’t eat.
The fact is money is like oxygen it’s how we sustain our lives. You may be familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, basic needs (the kind that money provides) are at the very base of the pyramid, the most important. This Nazi takeover falls under the very next category, “safety and security” and it also effects some other tiers up top as well. So to be clear, I’m recognizing the importance of this issue, it’s extremely important without a doubt. But the basic needs are still the basic needs.
With that in mind, I absolutely defend and support the strategy of participating in activism on the weekend and then going back to work on Monday. That is nothing but rational.
If you go home after one day then you achieve nothing.
This is just naive. Building something important takes time. You know that expression, Rome wasn’t built in a day? Well that’s barely even a metaphor here; if you want to build a new United States, a more functional, less corrupt US without all the fascism and corporate control, well that takes time. And again, in that time it takes to make those changes, you need to continue living, continue filling those basic needs.
I went to the no kings protest and honestly I think it was quite successful. It was a show of force, a demonstration of pure numbers. It was a good step, and more will be achieved.
Believe it or not, I have. Nothing to do with No Kings though
Hah. Yeah, I’m certain of it. It’s pretty clear.
Yeah, really showed them. Everybody knows that peaceful protests always work against a dictatorship. Then they sat back down.
And what did you do?
Just like you are

Very brave and mature. Such a sophisticated response. Are you going to call me poop now?
America never judges or interferes? Yeah in the street, great. That’s like yelling “hey, stop it” to a wild pig.
How did I act like an american, I mean, coward?

Legally, theoretically just barely maybe, if you have the best lawyers in the country, untill it makes it out of the state court system, or you just encounter any judge with a hardon for LE, which is 99% of them, then no, no you’re going to prison forever.
Go look up how often a random civillian is able to legally win a case where they shoot and kill a cop who is clearly and obviously acting illegally.
Pretty much never happens.
But beyond that, is lethal self defense in this situation practically, realistically, even survivable?
Hahaha fuck no, not in that situation.
That was uh, an armored personnel carrier, an extraction team of 6 guys, screened by a perimeter security detail of about double that… and all of those guys were in full military style body armor, lots of ammo, real assault rifles, not crowd control gear.
You would unironically need RPGs, Heisenberg’s jerry rigged machine gun auto turret, ieds/landmines, and your own full military gear, and probably at least 4 other people in full military gear… to actually stand a chance at surviving just the immediate encounter, and then you’d have to somehow vanish without a trace, amd escape to a country without an extradition treaty with the US.
This is Baghdad/Mosul/Fallujah style military raid tactics and equipment… while the city of LA broadly is being occupied and pacified with similar Iraq War 2 style doctrine and equipment.
The only way you could even stand a chance at ‘resisting unlawful lethal force with lethal self defense’ is you and the gang become the Viet Cong.
Really, I get the sentiment, but uh, no, actually applying your idea here is wildly unrealistic, unless you’re ready to quite literally start an armed resistance movement.
There needs to be armed resistance movements though
I personally agree, but the vast majority of self described ‘leftists’ I’ve ever known in my life are:
-
Actually liberals who only know how to cry and whine and complain and shift fault and blame
-
So dismissive and ignorant of firearms, how they work, how shooting works, how tactics work, how logistics work, how opsec works…
That I would not even go to a gun range with them for fear of them accidentally shooting me, themself, or another person…
To say nothing of attempting an armed resistance.
…
I’ve never even met, in real life, a USAsian self described leftist thst I could convince to stop using tiktok, insta to live broadcast their entire life and current location and surroundings, and maybe use Signal instead.
Disconnecting from the corpo panopticon surveillance dragnet that is social media and computer/phone OS’s that spy on you 24/7 is the most basic bare minimum prerequisite, and 99% of people can’t even clear that bar.

That’s why they go to Huntington Park, not South Central. Same reason they arrest cancer stricken children in courthouses instead of dangerous criminals. Because they’re cowardly bullies who don’t want anyone fighting back. And the one time they tried going into lower income immigrant community, they were chased out by the locals.
True
First they came for the “illegal” immigrants, And I did not speak out, Because I was not a “illegal” immigrant
Then they came for the immigrants, And I did not speak out, Because I was not a immigrant
Then they came for the protesters, And I did not speak out, Because I was not a protester
Then they came for me, And there was no one left, To speak out for me
This is state sponsored terrorism.
Always has been. Every action.
He is now back home with his family after turning himself in Friday.
I’m so happily surprised. Not that he’s in the clear, but I didn’t expect them to let him go at all.
What is the charge?
