So. When they ram your car and jump out with guns. Without ID’ing themselves. Is running them over in self defense allowed?
Legally or morally?
Legally. Already know the answer to the other one.
I think I have noticed a lot of the SS Nazi thugs are rolling up in Jeep Waggoneers. Is this a thing?
Since when does news get geo-blocked? The article linked and the entire website give me a “This content is not available in your region”. Is this expected from Chicago Tribune?
It’s blocked in the EU, most likely because they don’t want to comply with GDPR.
American here. Our mainstream news outlets barely covers these ICE raids. We’re in a full blown dictatorship. Now even Reddit is perma banning anyone who suggests that the 2nd amendment was created for situations like this.
Cut their tires!
GIVE THE NAZIS A REASON TO FEAR
DEFEND YOUR DEMOCRACY!!!
Dear DHS,
These are just cowards with guns. Do better. Become an agency with dignity, honor, and basic human decency.
With all the respect you deserve,

It was the DOD long after I left, so however you want to interpret that. :)
This should be actionable.
Seems like it’s not, though. Seems like fascism is just routine now in the US.
Americans can not sue federal “agents” according to US legal precedent and current interpretations of Section 1983

Very sad that the US has become this. Distressing to see, to say the least.
Elect people who make it their platform to resist this. Sweep aside any feckless moderate who doesn’t make it a central plank of their platform.
that makes me feel really unsafe for myself and every US citizen if that can happen under a mask and a gun. i see proud boy nazis rounding up everyday colored citizens.
I feel you, I left the US shortly after Trump was elected. I’m happy being in Europe until he’s gone but my heart goes out to everyone who doesn’t have that luxury.
are you “there yet” America?
We are definitely something again.
The aggression is insane. Not even talking at the car.
The regular police would have a conversation and at least an argument before raising guns, and it would be a last resort of dragging someone out the car to the ground.
Yeah. Would’ve thought they are in an active warzone
Active class warfare zone
the libs didn’t really care when it was only the black ‘class’ did they?
This type of thing is expected in a fascist country. It’s like saying a fish swims when placed in water.
Nazi America working hard on bringing the fourth Reich into reality.
The line I’ve seen repeatedly is that White America is getting to see how African Americans and Latino migrants have been living since The War On Crime started.
Every day, we get to see another Rodney King or George Floyd. Wave after wave of police acting with utter impunity, doing unspeakable violence, while liberal leadership throws up it’s hands or turns a blind eye.
FFS, this was in Chicago. Blatantly illegal, breaking a couple dozen state laws. The mayor, the governor, the CPD, the local prosecutors and sheriffs… where the fuck are they?
It’s honestly astounding, as somebody that lives on the left coast, how many arguments I’ve had with people up here about this.
I think that they know how BIPOC have been treated, and much like homelessness, they want to ignore it and pretend it can never happen to them. The lie that white privilege renders you unassailable, is going to get shattered. We’ll see how many of them rise to the occasion and how many bend the knee.
The lie that white privilege renders you unassailable
It’s not a lie. We’re just constricting the definition of whiteness. White people remain privileged. I’m a white guy in Houston, where a ton of the shit is going down, and I’ve never felt “safer”.
But folks who thought they were “white” enough in Pasadena are experiencing something very different.
We’ll see how many of them rise to the occasion and how many bend the knee.
Hard to rise to the occasion when there’s a boot on your neck. And in a place like Texas, it’s very hard to find someone to trust much less organize with.
I don’t begrudge folks who bend the knee to save their skin. Not when the alternative is to simply get added to the line of crucifixions.
It’s not a lie. We’re just constricting the definition of whiteness.
The fact that the definition can constrict is what I’m talking about. It is a lie that white privilege renders you unassailable, because as we see, the system can decide you’re not white after all and haul you off anyways.
My family is mixed race, so I’m very cognizant that my skin tone will not save me if they decide I’m guilty by association. I’m privileged because I’m white enough to pass, but that evaporates as soon as people run a background check and my other name comes up.
Bro it’s gonna shatter. Lol
The mayor, the governor, the CPD, the local prosecutors and sheriffs… where the fuck are they?
All holed up in their offices and wishing like hell it’ll be their turn to be able to do this sort of thing next.
That already happened. Stop pretending it’s in the future.
It’s already here.
For real. Bringing? Brought.
Next step is finding out what these 4 guns per citizen is about.
At least 3 out of 4 of it’s on the Nazis side I fear.
They’re about to be just as hungry
