    Jesus, it’s not bad enough that they bolted the signs up, it’s that someone actually unironically FABRICATED metal signs…

      The signs are manufactured by a “conservative street artist” on a web store called “unsavory agents.” There’s a lot of really gross shit there

        unsavory agents

        I was curious so I went to their webstore and looked. There’s nothing there for Kamala, Immigrants, or even metal street signs.

        It’s still an ugly little webshop with ugly messaging but I didn’t find anything like whats in the pictures.

          They were DEFINITELY there last night when I looked. Maybe he’s getting some backlash and has pulled some products off his site

          It feels reasonable to explain that the party manufacturing signs has a similar agenda given the topic of the thread.

      A good TV cop would be able to figure out who manufactured the signs by finding companies in the area who produce them, and then running metal tests against their stock, or pressuring them to divulge their client. Personally, I like the Raymon Redington approach, and just torture them.

    And apparently also in Chicago, probably other cities, too.

    This was nationally organized.

    The balls of calling democrats segregationists (well, except for Biden) when promoting racism against immigrants.

    This is pretty close to one of Denver’s larger intersections, a cross between two major east - west and north - south routes. It’s had cycling groups of migrants for 6ish months but as far as I can tell it hasn’t been a static group. They mainly offer to wash windshields for cash but otherwise are no burden whatsoever on the neighborhood. The surrounding neighborhood is pretty wealthy as it’s close to Denver’s museums and largest parks. This sign is literally in front of a sprouts farmers market.

    It’s unfortunate that we’re not doing more to get them more stable housing and employment but they in no way are causing problems. The only people upset about it are just upset about such a visceral confrontation of the inequality when they drive through these intersections. I’ve seen dudes in $100k Audis yelling at the dude just trying to get some money for food because he’s been legally barred from working for his first six months of being here.

    Denver has a decent mutual aid network that is doing a lot to help, if you’re interested check out https://www.denvermutualaid.com/

      We need to invent shame paint balls that cause the person hit to reassess their lack of compassion for other living beings.

        There’s a great science fiction series by Steve Perry called “The Matador Series” where the weapon of choice is a dartgun that mounts to the back of your hand. The barrel comes out above your index finger and you shoot it by pointing your finger and tapping the underside of the barrel.

        There are a bunch of different kinds of darts, stingers that just hurt, shocktox which incapacitates and Smasm… which makes every muscle in the body involuntarily contract and ties the victim in a knot for 6 months.

        Smasm seems appropriate here. :)

    Disgraceful. There really need to be more “No War but Class War” posters and ads, tho
