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

[–] LogicalFallacy@lemm.ee 19 points 9 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.

[–] brewery@feddit.uk 40 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 33 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] brewery@feddit.uk 17 points 12 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

[–] Alph4d0g@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 10 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.

“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.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 14 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

Just because Marmalade Mussolini or his DOJ wrote a memo doesn't make it legal. The use of the Alien Enemies Act is already highly contested in federal court. (It remains to be seen if/when courts will enforce their rulings, but just today a Tufts University student was released from ICE custody as a result of a judge's ruling.)

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.

[–] mrmacduggan@lemmy.ml 113 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 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.

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

well trained

They are well trained in thuggery and how to evade legal consequences. 80% of cops wouldn't know discipline or acting through adversity if it knocked their teeth out, and the 20% that do learned it in the military.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

They def meant they are well trained in violence

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 204 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

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

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 25 points 13 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.

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

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.

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

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 12 points 13 hours ago

And to the police that showed up to arrest their neighbors and enable ICE I hope hell is real because you deserve worse

Can't wait till people start shooting ICE and the police on sight because they were pushed too far.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 61 points 17 hours ago (11 children)

I'm genuinely surprised it hasn't happened yet. They're probably staying out of the most sketchy neighborhoods.

[–] Initiateofthevoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 15 hours ago

They're also usually relying on secrecy and speed. The way they quietly stopped and surrounded that innocent grad student, masked up, and kidnapped her so smoothly was terrifying.

So kidnapping and the police are in on it?
