I don't understand why more Americans just don't dress up like ICE and do whatever they want ...

  • rob a bank
  • local courthouse and help out someone being actually processed by ICE
  • upset your local parish for no reason
  • raid a school and let the kids out early for fun
  • upset and panic a Republican political event
  • local supermarket and grab some free coffee
  • raid a library and take a book without signing it out
  • get your daily groceries at the grocery store and don't pay for anything
  • go into a bar and scare everyone ... then take all the money and booze you want
  • go into a car dealership and steal a brand new car

... like ... no one is bothering to check who ICE is and they are not identifying themselves.

All they have is body armour, masks and firearms ... anyone can do that ... which means, anyone can do whatever they want.

Hey! That ain't cool.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

It is if you check out a book like "How Fascism Works".

Dress up as ICE with the homies and detain ICE agents in your basement, or just a hole dug into the ground.

[–] [email protected] 77 points 2 days ago (3 children)

lol ... that would actually be hilarious

Get a bunch of guys and cosplay as ICE agents and join their raids and gatherings and confuse the hell out of them.

Imagine 20 no name, non identifiable ICE agents raiding a place, then coming out of the building to 100 ICE agents that look like them mingling in with their group. The cosplayers just play along, making orders, taking orders, following, arguing, screaming, shouting, pushing and just causing general mayhem.

Maybe it should be a thing we do at protests. If everyone looks like ICE, how will the pigs know who to beat up and arrest? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's a good idea because ICE agents are not identifying themselves .... so they would have a hard time arguing that anyone is impersonating an officer or agent.

I'm sure they would bend and break the rules over it anyway ... but what choice do you end up with? .. don't do anything and they put you in danger .. or dress up like them and you're still in danger anyway but at least you're doing something.

Imagine a group of fake ICE agents all pretending to fight each other?! What the hell response would that inspire? 🤣

[–] anomnom 3 points 1 day ago

… violence and a few friendly fire causalities. It’s all they know how to do.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

This is one of the more interesting ideas I've heard here in a minute... I like the cut of your jib, mate ⛵

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

IDK how but I want to get the idea that antifa is dressing up as ICE agents into the conservative consciousness

Someone should make a Monty Python style sketch out of this

Springtime for ICE Agents

That's literally the Underground Railroad. People hid slaves, even in northern states because it was legal to capture slaves there and drag them back, despite slavery itself being illegal in those states. So people hid slaves and helped them get to Canada, where they could tell slave catchers to fuck off and go home. Our country has some dark historical truths...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Similarly, it was also really common for free Black people to be kidnapped in northern states and enslaved.

Solomon Northrop, if you have seen Twelve Years a Slave (and everyone needs to, we need to make it part of every high schoolAmerican history class), might have been captured again. Wiki gives the only reason that this is unlikely that he was probably too old at that point to be worth it. His kidnappers faced no consequences.

I wonder how many people saved up to buy their freedom “legally” and were taken back. There are so many stories we’ll never know.

Find a copy of Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book"

Steal it.

Calm down there, Satan.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think they are. There's many just disappearing with nothing from the gov. It's a human trafficking field day out there. No American is safe and everyone should remain armed and ready to defend themselves in public.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That's the other thing I find unusual ... why no one is doing anything to just threaten and shoot ICE agents ... it's a legal free for all right now

Someone attacks your home, they don't identify themselves, refuse to identify themselves and kidnap and detain people .. why aren't people just standing up to them with guns that are supposed to be everywhere in the US?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The lack of violent opposition to ICE is how you know that none of their targets are actually gang members.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

It's a no win situation ... just like WWII

If you eliminate all decent people from the population and remove their influence ... all you'll end up with is psychopaths and violent people ... who will all end up destroying everything for everyone

The 2A people are too busy licking boots.

Indeed and what about sick fucks running the pedophile rings.

It is funny that you can buy an ice jacket on Amazon... I've considered getting one to conspicuously leave in my car, just in case

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Good way to get your car vandalized.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

Mostly because decent people aren't psychopaths or sociopaths. All those people already got recruited.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Don't forget your masks.

You've always only needed the gun.
