Predictably, the agency shared drone footage of the raid with Fox News.

17 vehicles including at least 9 goddamn MRAPs to grab one guy posting publicly available information.

It's a show of force. Don't fuck with us (I'm not part of the 'us' in that lol).

To be fair, he was known to carry a pointed stick.

I bet there's a soft-copy of this flier circulating on the Internet now, because this distributor likely knew what was going to be the end result.

I would love to see that. I've only seen a photo of one in the Fox News article.

I've hated ice before it was cool

The US did so much more damage to itself in response to 9/11 than the event itself, maybe even more than its perpetrators hoped for.

which was legitimately the purpose of the attacks themselves. everything basically went exactly according to al qaeda's plan.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

It seems that way now more than ever.

Quotes from one of his speeches:

…we, alongside the mujahidin, bled Russia for 10 years until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat….

So we are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah….

All that we have to do is to send two mujahidin to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaida, in order to make generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses without their achieving anything of note other than some benefits for their private companies….

…every dollar of al-Qaida defeated a million dollars, by the permission of Allah, besides the loss of a huge number of jobs.

As for the size of the economic deficit, it has reached record astronomical numbers estimated to total more than a trillion dollars.

And even more dangerous and bitter for America is that the mujahidin recently forced Bush to resort to emergency funds to continue the fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, which is evidence of the success of the bleed-until-bankruptcy plan…

And it all shows that the real loser is…you.

It is the American people and their economy.

66,000 arrests?

Hardly.

Probably closer to 7,000. Still awful, but it's cute that they're inflating the numbers so much.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

You think ICE would do that? They'd just lie about their intent and achievements?

[-] peregrin5@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months ago

If you think you may be arrested by the Gestapo, but booby traps around your house and a rifle next to the door as well as cameras all over your property.

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

So you'll get shot to death instead of arrested?

[-] peregrin5@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

As long as you can take at least one fascist down with you, it may be worth it.

[-] Auntievenim@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Theyre the ones broadcasting it, make it a real show

[-] SphereofWreckening@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

If anyone has a copy of the fliers I'd love to see them.

Sorry, I don't quite understand. Would you rephrase that?
