As we all know, the worst of the worst tends to stop to help stranded motorists. It's a well-documented criminal trait.

What the fuck are you doing America?

So here's the new way to help stranded motorists in the US: hold them at gun point, handcuff them to a tree, then fix their car.

Where the fuck is the suspicion, nevermind "reasonable suspicion" behind the use of this tactic? Is helping someone with a broken car a crime, an antifa gang symbol or something to that effect?

There isn't even the pretense of crime fighting in this clip, just a bait trap to kidnap normal, caring people.

Cartel tactics

This is honestly pretty smart on the part of the fascists. A big portion of what is so effective about the resistance is that it's founded on strong community action. Neighbors helping neighbors, because it's the right thing to do.

Posing as a neighbor in need makes that act feel riskier. It changes the calculus, just a little, in favor of not helping your neighbor. They achieve their near term goal of getting their victim, but there's an even more valuable (to them) effect of weakening community ties overall.

Time to double down on looking out for your neighbors.

EDIT: Looking out for them so you can help. In case that wasn't clear.

Hey, isn't this what gangs and other criminals do the rob or kidnap and murder people? Oh, it's the same picture?

I keep hearing people speculating that, when the American regime changes, these DHS and CBP agents will be put on trial.

But I think we all know that's never going to happen. Best we can do is name, shame, and socially ostracize them.

I... this reminds me of a time that a good samaritan actually helped me when I was in trouble. He had a Hispanic accent and fucked off before the cops came, but him stopping to help might have saved my life.

I of course had no way of knowing his legal status, but it doesn't matter to me. That's the kind of person you want in your country.

This kind of "trap" is antichrist behavior. As in against the Bible and against the words of Christ.

Sounds like the end result of thinking empathy is a sin.

arresting those who are kind enough to help.

and conveniently, those people tend not to be republican.

Yeah that was Ted Bundy's tactic too.

Imo the fatal flaw in the US system is that DHS doesn't have to have courts with juries for prosecutions. No jury would convict after hearing this was how somebody was caught

The real goal is to turn nice people into assholes like them.

War on Decency

Well if a declining world super power attacks weaker nations (Venezuela) then why wouldn't it attack it's own, nicer people, rather than meet a challenge? Remember, bullies are cowards underneath. "Look at me and behold my greatness!"...(after beating up the tiniest kid on the playground).

I've known people who got car jacked using the same tactics, DHS are continuing to use criminal tactics to fuck with working class people

Fuck these guys.

It's also a really nice feeling to help someone jump a car, or help push a disabled car off the road. It's this short(ish) and well defined opportunity to do good, without much gray area of "is this the best course of action" or "am I making an impact" you get with longer and more complex activism.
