Once upon a time, in a distant land, a person arrived near a police vehicle while a crowd surrounding the vehicle was argumentative and loud. They dropped a few caltrops and nudged them under the wheels with their toe.

Once upon a time, in a distant land, a guy with a cordless drill disabled some police vehicles in a speed-run. Sadly they had no RC car to mount it on (note: some cleanliness, testing and engineering skills required) or they could have called it a "rig" and proclaimed "drill, baby, drill".

They should have attacked the ~~ICE~~ gestapo agents.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 13 hours ago

That's next.

Those who abjure violence can do so only because others are committing violence on their behalf.

People should start learning how to make thermite and how to immobilize vehicles.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

Citizen sabotage was taught by the CIA as an effective way for insurgents in a country we wanted to topple to hurt their defensive and warmaking power.

The best tactic in this regard; incompetence.

Just get a job where you help them. But be bad at it.

Lose papers. Email things backwards. Leave messes. Pour the wrong chemicals in the wrong thing. Send messages on Monday instead of Friday. Spoil supplies by making them wet and letting them rot.

Good thing the enemy has already done half the work in this regard

They won. They got exactly what they wanted, plus anybody who tried to intervene got arrested along the way. From the headline I thought it would be more like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZcoXdZeabA . There's still massive problems here and our version of ICE have got away with a lot but thankfully nowhere near this stage

[–] [email protected] 39 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

It's better that we're all arrested rather than do nothing but watch.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 14 hours ago

But what if they made Internet posts about guillotines while they watched?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I completely agree and think you can't arrest everyone but I don't see that happening though. Look at the numbers on the street. If more people surrounded them so they could not physically leave, it might be different. What I see is a few brave people trying to stop them and not succeeding, and everyone else staying inside or filming from afar

[–] [email protected] 24 points 13 hours ago

There were more than 25 people on the scene protesting and asking for warrants etc. this was on very scant notice. I'd call that pretty decent turnout. Then there was a much larger march down the streets of Worcester. Read some of the independent reports. They corroborate and tell an aligned narrative.

That's why guns exists and your right to use them also exists. The 2nd amendment has never been more important then now....last time it was in the 1860s....

“We don’t have to show you anything,” one agent reportedly shot back when asked for ID or a warrant.

Actually, yea. You do. Or its just assault and kidnapping. Official paperwork is not privileged or secret. That idiot should be fired along with his chain of command.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Am I allowed to shoot in self defense if this happens in a stand your ground state?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 hours ago

Yes. Will the court decide in your favor? Who knows, but I'd wager probably not. It's better to try it and find out then let this happen though, or probably a better idea would be to get out ASAP and try to become a ghost if possible. Eventually this won't be tolerated, but people need to see others stand up before they will usually.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 16 hours ago

Helpful neighbor: "No, I'm with ICE and I'm arresting you motherfuckers."

*We all get to pretend to be ICE or whatever the fuck if there's no requirement to prove who you are

without showing a warrant

I'm so tired of the legalist caveat, implying a Trump judge rubber stamping warrants for these gestapo shits would have made kidnapping and torturing a woman and her infant child acceptable.

[–] [email protected] 126 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

But it does highlight that any random brute could put on a mask and do this with no authorization whatsoever. It's a fundamental human-rights and rule-of-law breakdown to fail to present a warrant. I agree that a warrant doesn't ethically make the arrests anything short of monstrous, though. That kind of legalist can suck eggs.

I believe this a part of the plan.

The woman’s teen daughter was left holding the woman’s baby and stood in front of the car in an apparent attempt to stop it. After handing the child to another person, she allegedly kicked the car—and was also reportedly arrested on four charges, including child endangerment. Police have not disclosed what happened to the baby afterward.

fuck you

[–] [email protected] 32 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

And the mayor had the audacity to say they don't agree with what ICE did.

That's great, but maybe get your police force to stop enabling their actions.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 hours ago

Even better, have your police force enforce the damn law. Arrest these men when they try to kidnap people without a warrant.

[–] [email protected] 97 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, police have a ton of latitude when they decide who to press which charges on and who they just let go with warnings or whatever, choosing to throw child endangerment at this girl is just straight up trolling

Big, strong, well trained men in tactical gear pushing, threatening and arresting women and children ..... and they wouldn't go into any actual threatening situations to deal with actual violent crimes.

Bunch of cowards going after the weakest in society ..... classic yellow bellied fascism.

Looks like Germany during the 1940s, when people were also dragged from their homes. Good luck y'all

With enough time, people around the world won't be comparing things to Nazi Germany anymore, but instead to Trumpian America

If you are ICE, fuck you. You should be ashamed. Your parents should be ashamed

If you are someone who stands by while these cosplayers are kidnapping and torturing people, then you deserve your place in hell

There needs to be a citizens APB tool so when this happens people can swarm the scene and block them from leaving or backup entering.

Hmmm, good idea. Maybe I'll call it "Melt"
