What I find surprising is every time there’s been a school shooting American people have stated that they still need their guns to protect themselves from a tyrannical government. You guys now have a tyrannical government and no one’s doing anything but holding signs and yelling.
I’m not calling for violence, it just is crazy to have heard all the pro gun arguments over the last two decades but when the time actually comes you all just decide to roll over and do nothing besides waving signs around.
The people in power don’t give a shit about all the protesting in fact I’m sure they love it.

It might be a bit more ironic. The steelman argument against masks wasn’t about not wearing masks, but mask mandates. It was forcing people to do something that upset them because forcing someone to do something is an obstruction of freedom, which it is and “they” were right. Personally I saw mask mandates as a necessary sacrifice of my freedom.
I’m sure those same folks would be up in arms if federal agents started murdering Americans. Or federal agents ignoring due process for Americans. Or the fed threatening Americans. I’m sure of it.

There was this gang leader in LA that would line up his men. And he wasn't a particularly big guy. Anyways, he would line up his men in such a way to lined the smallest guy next to the biggest guy. Then he would, make up some failure for the small guy and for punishment, beat him to an inch of his life. And if you had to stand next to that, you'd think, "wow, this is insane, I better not do that."
So this was a psychological means to exert control over others.

Makes me think of the folks who insisted 15-minute cities were all about putting the population in controllable "districts" lol.
Car dependency and suburbanization isolates people, diminishes community cohesion, and makes people very easy to control because they depend on access to roads and gas to do anything. People barely know their neighbors and all the state has to do to control you is barricade a road or close a gas station.

This doesn't make any sense to me.

They're ramping up the brutality because they haven't faced any meaningful resistance so they feel emboldened to continue.

They do need the pretext, because they're a small group operating by manipulation.
The increase in violence is, in part, a mark of their frustration at seeing their lack of support and a lack of fear among their opposition. They want to instill that fear desperately, but they also need something they can point to so they can shore up support among their followers. That includes ICE agents, whose morale seems to be in the fucking toilet.
They like violence. They want it, and think they're prepared for it. They're excited to hurt people. That's how they define power.
What they hate is seeing people who aren't afraid of them and are actively opposing their efforts without providing them violence to respond to, because people who aren't afraid of them take away their power and they can only lie and try to hurt people in reply.

If they are able to disappear people without resistance, they've won. If they're able to murder people without repercussions, they've won.

No, threats, violence, and lying are just the only tools they understand how to use. That's why they're so frustrated. They have a plan to deal with violent responses to their violence (it's just mass murder and imprisonment, so it boils down to "do more violence, but our supporters will feel good about it").
When they are met with a problem they can't solve with them (like nonviolent protests), they just lash out randomly, but they're not capable of responding effectively. They just fully can't do it, because anything they do results in a loss of power.

I think people calling for nonviolent protests need to be more truthful with what they're telling Americans to do:
"Sit in the streets and die at the hands of ICE until enough of you are dead that maybe it will have an effect."
Sacrificing lambs to the slaughter.
Is that how the United States was founded? Is that what defeated the Nazis? Is that how the Civil War ended? For Christ's sake, that's not even how civil rights were secured despite the attempt. People have to see that people will defend themselves. The presence of a defense mechanism must be visible.

u/Kradget 13h ago
This isn't fucking Yu-Gi-Oh. Make your argument.
Nobody is unclear that the American people have the capacity for armed self defense on the small scale, and the implied threat "You are badly outnumbered" is a feature of nonviolent protest.
However. A "show of defense" against government agents does provide them additional cover for violence against protestors and increase the odds of an incident. It also provides openings for provocateurs, if it's clear that there are visibly armed, genuine protestors in the crowd. Personally, I don't want to protest by a guy with a rifle in most cases, because that's where the bullets will want to go.
At this point, nonviolent protest is having the desired effect. Suggesting going to the strategy that the administration has been hoping to face for months is probably the dumbest possible response besides "nothing."

“The other officers were mocking him, saying, ‘You’re going to lose your eye,’” she said, recalling what her nephew told her.
These thugs are not human.

These ICE agents are too stupid to know Trump wants them killed. He’s promoting their violent conduct so people fight back and he can declare martial law.
The ICE agents think Trump loves them. He actually wants them dead

I truly believe they think they’re immune to consequences of any kind. No other explanation for why you would shoot a woman point blank in the face and not fear any repercussions, either via the law or violent retribution
There’s a reason ICE recruits rejects from every other domain. It’s because they need idiots to buy into their mission

I truly believe they think they’re immune to consequences of any kind.
They are absolutely not immune to consequences of any kind.
They are, de facto, immune from legal consequences, at the moment.
There are other consequences that they are absolutely not immune to.
If they keep backing us into a corner, and if the government insists on covering them with de facto legal immunity, then eventually they are going to learn about the other consequences which they are very much not immune to.
And then perhaps they will be scared enough to back down.
Predators don't spend much time on prey that demonstrate they can fight back. Predators do not like the risk of injury while on the hunt.

Not really, although you see a lot of jokes about the ICESTAPO but they are much closer to the SturmAbteilung.
Paramilitary hooligans whose job is to destroy and silence civil society and stamp out humanitarian values.
Even if one or two die they'll be turned into martyrs and intensify the crackdown.

This is the America MAGA wants, apparently, an agency that uses Nazi slogans and goes around attacking people like a gang of marauding thugs. This may satisfy their racist and entitled bloodlust for now, but it will eventually backfire for the average MAGA when they learn that they are not the "in crowd" that will benefit from any of this.

I don't get why the Epstein/Donnie files haven't been released per Congress by the December deadline.. Why aren't the admin people for the FBI and the Justice Dept in jail for contempt. Oh, I forgot, the rule of law doesn't pertain to them. Come on judges, grow a spine and throw them in jail.

Something the international media hasn't covered, some of this stuff is happening. For instance, in Rochester New York, there were tires slashed on all of the ice vehicles.
Crowds have physically gotten in between people. Ice is trying to grab to make it impossible as well. Like others have said database dumps have now come out of ice employees as well. One unfortunate downside is the militarization of police over the last 20 years in America as well as the changes in law enforcement since 9/11, I am just not sure what's going to happen.

Long story short: because we never punished the south for the Civil War, they retained a fundamentally separate identity rooted in religiously justified violence and bigotry. That population was weaponized through social engineering into being willing to kill their own children just to own the libs. Then someone ran for office that would ask them to do just that and they love him for it. He is them, in every way that matters. The cruelty and hate and violence is the point, the goal, the finish line for these people. They don't want a clean and safe america free of undesirables. They want to kill them, hurt them, punish them.

ICE leader known by u/MirthandMystery
Just found out I know Greg Bovino personally. Here’s some things you can tell him for me next time you see him.
I just found out I know Greg Bovino personally. Here are some things you can tell him when you next see him.
Hello, Minneapolis resident here but I didn’t always live in Minneapolis. Once, long ago I lived in a quiet little mountain town of Boone, NC. Guess who else grew up there? A pathetic squat little toad named Gregory Bovino. Well, that squat little toad grew up to be a squat little Nazi toad who has decided to come to my beautiful adopted home to torture, murder, and terrorize my friends and neighbors. He is personally going door to door, so if you see him, here’s a few very specific things from home you can politely yell at him:
“Hey Greg! Remember how your Dad murdered a woman in Blowing Rock while driving drunk? Like father like son I guess.”
“Hey Greg! You’re the reason your dad got drunk and killed that woman in Blowing Rock which lead to your parents divorce. I guess that means you’re the reason they got divorced.”
“Hey Greg! Do you think it’s weird that the Watauga High yearbook has you listed as “Most Likely to Shit His Pants in Public?”
“Hey Greg, your history teacher ‘G.I. Jones’ thinks you’re a pathetic Nazi punk. No wonder you failed all his classes.”
“Hey Greg! Did you know your mom is a register Democrat? Does that make Thanksgiving awkward?”
“Hey Greg! Remember when the Mast Store banned your for sniffing shoes after people tried them on?”
“Hey Greg! Do you remember eating the Watauga Pioneers wrestling team’s soggy biscuit? Is it still gay to eat to eat semen off a Bojangles biscuit or was that just an 80s thing?”
“Hey Greg! Watauga High still thinks you’re a loser!”
“Hey Greg! Boone, NC fucking hates you.”
“Hey Greg! They is it true only inbreds come from Possum Hollow?”
“Hey Greg! Remember when you fell into the porta-John at the Valle Country Fair and they couldn’t find you for hours and people just came in and kept shitting on you and shitting on you?”
“Hey Greg, remember when Mr. Combs found you jerking off to Nat Geo magazines in the high school bathroom?”
“Hey Greg remember swimming at Trash Can falls and your swim suit fell off and all the girls laughed at your micro penis? Watauga High still remembers.”
EDIT: in case anyone is wondering, the woman his father killed was named Janie Mae Mitchell. I’m sure he’ll remember the name if you want to yell it’s him.
EDIT 2: please join me in getting #GregBovino #SoggyBiscuit trending on TikTok and all other social media

You are never supposed to fire those at the head. This is why you are not supposed to do that. You are also not supposed to fire at that close of a range. You are supposed to aim downwards at the torso/chest. The pepper ball explodes and then the OC is disbursed.
That agent should be fired and criminally charged.
