“They were simply shopping at Sam’s Club,” said Matt, who filmed this video. “ICE agents drove by and sprayed pepper spray directly inside the car, where their baby and 16-year-old sister sat.”

      the fascists won.

      we tried to warn them, but apparently that was the foreign interference, not the russian bot farms.

    Illinois Local and State Police stand idly by while residents are accosted and assaulted by roving gangs of unidentified armed men.

    ACAB, folks. This is what the “Defund the Police” folks recognized from the start.

      We were just trying to spray the suspicious looking brown people when that baby threw itself into the line of fire. We believe the strongly indicates the baby has ties to antifa and should be dealt with accordingly.

    Spraying pepper spray into the window of a moving car is attempted murder.

    They spoils be charged with one count per person in that car.

    What the fuck

    I don’t have the answers to this. But a wishful scenario would be for normal citizens to mask themselves as ICE agents and retaliate in kind. Will that ever happen? Probably not. But one can dream

      It can’t be that hard to get a couple ICE vests. Then you can do whatever you want.

        Not even ICE vests. These guys usually wear random plate carriers that can be had (in replica form) for about $30 from an airsoft website. Fake plates to make it look right are another $10. You’ve been able to get official-ish-looking federal agency patches for years, $3-15 depending on how close you want it to look. Carry a pistol (about $200) in a drop-leg holster and you’ll fool enough people if you’re forceful enough and yell a lot.

          Note that impersonating police is a crime. I expect this would also be a crime.

          Just pointing out the issues with unidentified, masked police.

      I wonder if you could roll up in a white van, in disguise, gather up a bunch of the most vulnerable, and release them safely into a nearby alley. Of course nobody would understand in the moment but still. Maybe have someone in the van who can tell them you’re not la migra and you’re just getting them out of there?

    Is it illegal to call for the public slow hanging of people that decided that a baby is a legitimate target for an assault like that?

    This is a legitimate ethics question here.

    I’m all against vigilantism, it doesn’t help, it doesn’t fix anything and it’s mostly revenge based. Hide the police that you have.

    I’m against capital punishment. The state should never kill in my name.

    However, the police in the US is a joke and doesn’t protect anyone but themselves, and these people are so far away from their humanity and are such a danger to even little babies that I really wonder, for the safety of all people, if we should start making examples?

    These aren’t humans, sorry. I know the right days that about the left, and people with dark skin color, and lgbts, but the difference is that we literally only wish to live freely, period, end of story, and they want to torture and murder US. We are not the same.

    Even when this trump presidency is over, and it will be over one day soon, these people should be made an example of to ensure we’re never going to repeat this shit again.
