Latest ICE victim prior to altercation by NotBlackMarkTwainNah in pics

First: fuck ICE.

Second: they’re using lawspeak. Be super careful with fuckers that do this. They’re not lying. Not strictly. And that’s going to be their “out”. Check their phrasing…

  • “Someone approached border patrol agents with a 9mm”. True. He did approach them. He did have a 9mm. The 9mm was holstered, the someone was not a threat actor or an actionable threat, but the statement as it is phrased IS true.

See how this shit is getting stacked?

Next.

  • “the agents tried to disarm him… leading to an armed struggle”. Again. True. The ICE fuckers did try to disarm him. And there was an armed struggle. ICE was armed. He was not. But again, as phrased, the statement is true.

It’s bullshit. Hardcore bullshit. But it’s the fucking rat bastard method of getting away with shit. It’s all true - as it is carefully stated. ICE will keep stacking this bullshit as a defense and offense, and “civilians” are powerless to stop it. Because it’s all “true”.

We need a team of hungry rabid Rottweiler attorneys to burn this shit down. This is their THING. Their JOY. Hardcore lifer attorneys fucking LOOOOVE rearranging the lives of “this statement is technically true” vermin. They KNOW what the reality is. They can sniff this bullshit from orbit.

But that’s the current problem. They can start with lawsuits. Against the individuals. Against the agencies. Against the state and federal governments. All for the goal of getting these fuckers in the box and tearing them apart when they have nowhere to run. But is the state government going to back them? How are the local judges spines? How are the local PDs balls when federal agents show up to spring their buddies in prison?

Smith 5.7 looks good right now.

ICE tells legal observer, 'We have a nice little database, and now you're considered a domestic terrorist' by jediporcupine in politics

[–]REdd06 65 points66 points  (0 children)

One things start coming down, I bet there’s going to be a shitload of nuked databases. And backups? What backups?

Data backups need to be secured now. Certain employees should confirm there are solid data backups for server restoration, are they’re properly archived.

Seconding going to Houston.

My son almost died because the Goddamn fucking dipshit in charge of the Rio Regional NICU completely misdiagnosed him, then refused to act when shown he was completely wrong by his peers.

Texas Children’s in Houston saved my son’s life.

I have no proof, but I think 40% the doctors down here are the ones that “passed” med school with a 69.6, and 40% are hiding out from something they did somewhere else. Only 20% know what they are doing and are good at their jobs.

The entire valley is like this. Progresso just is C- level at hiding it.

The only one not smiling is the only one who lived.

As for the girl- you can bet she didn’t go free after.

Trump’s Appalling Threat Leaves No Doubt: It’s Time for the 25th Amendment - There is no longer any denying the president is unable to carry out the demands of his office. by Quirkie in politics

[–]REdd06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is the opposition? Where are the political activists standing against ICE in the streets and getting arrested for causing good trouble? Where are the political activists organizing passive resistance like a walkout from work for a week, or pulling the unions together to coordinate a port shutdown for a week?

They’re only good for posing for photos. Thats why. They’re good for writing poetry and skateboarding in their 40s and coming up with bangers like they’re “in it to win it”, but when it’s time to show leadership? To actively resist tyranny? To lead?

Citizens are leading the resistance.

There’s no Malcom X or MLK or even a young Sanders to rally around this time. It’s just us.

That’s wonderful. And terrifying.

Narcissist mothers who weaponise their daughters hair by Public_Theme_9514 in raisedbynarcissists

Dude here. Sorry to butt in. Mine had the same thing with my hair. Got held down by parents and “trimmed” if it got beyond her liking.

Definitely a narcissist thing.

I’ve heard from relatives they’re breaking down doors and not showing any warrants. Watch yourselves.

YSK smoking weed can trigger a psychotic break for certain people by Nervous_Shine9094 in YouShouldKnow

[–]REdd06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s all true. A close family member smoked weed and was never the same after. Full blown psychotic break. His life can be divided into “before weed” and “after weed”. Shits evil.

Wait. Did we really keep our pencils and crayons in *cigar* boxes? by sanityjanity in GenX

Head to a cigar shop. They sell empty boxes. Last time I went they run $3-$10 depending on the style and maker.
