    They don’t fear for their safety. This is why they are getting away with this shit.

    “But if we escalate it it’ll start a war”
    Fucks sake, you’re already in a war. Just look at them in their gravy seal get up.
    The war has started, you just don’t know it yet or, more like, don’t want to believe it.
    How far down the nazi history trail are you going to walksprint down before you all realise this?

    See when everyone is distracted by the commotion, the way to slow the fascist regime and demoralize these losers, is to go around the other aide of their vehicle and slice two valve stems off. You can also carry a pocketful of roofing nails.

      Keep in mind that all cars have cameras these days.

      Dress neutrally, bring something to cover your face. ICE agents themselves in these videos provide an excellent demonstration—apparently bold white men with mediocre beards and tacky sunglasses get a pass.

    Wait. He was already handcuffed. That wasn’t even purportedly for “policing”.

      When you find a cure to nonviolence propaganda. Illinoisan are throughfully brainwashed that recording acts of violence will eventually pay off the fascist courts decisions in their favor. They utterly have no critical thinking to realize fascist only form of communication is through violence. They didn’t prepare and arm their community as early as November of last year. So they are dealing with the consequences of being a self-interested capitalist state.

      Until Broadview ICE Facility isn’t demolished, I see no reason to fly over and help them liberate themselves. 22 freaking years.

    So why do you film it? How about you just shoot at them? Or wrestle them? You outnumber them easily. Bunch of scared chicken letting fascists treat you like shit. That’s why shit like that would never work in Europe. We’d beat the shit out of those fascists.

      They can’t shoot back in Illinois because it’s incredibly difficult to obtain a firearm and carry license there. They voted themselves into being a largely disarmed populace and left themselves defenseless

        A FOID card is stupid easy to get. I haven’t tried to get a CCL because Chicago doesn’t allow them on public transit and quite frankly, I don’t want to be a target if something were to happen.

        No one is shooting back. Because no one wants to be the martyr, no one wants to be the first, most people really want to try and avoid bloodshed. You have a fascist paramilitary force that sees violence as a means to achieve their goals and the majority of the population who is trying to fight to keep people safe because their morals and ethics abhor violence. People are really trying to avoid kicking off martial law and the insurrection act. Because while most people wouldnt consider it insurrection, this administration is willing to twist anything as much as they can.
