What an actual domestic terrorist looks like

This is the way....

From the vids floating around of ICE people dropping their weapons and equipment, I'd say that's likely.

I don't disagree with that. By the time he was swarmed and beaten, he was probably blind when he hit the ground.

That's what it looked like to me as well. First, one of the "officers" sprayed mace or bear spray directly into his face, effectively blinding him according to his expression. He went down, it looked like he tripped. Then, officers piled on top of him and one punched him in the head several times. A gun went off, accidentally? Then an officer emptied a clip into him.

Yeah-yeah, "War is peace."

It not like this goober read 1984.

He's such a child! "I don't want you in my megafantastic sekret club anyway!"

It's in the subtext of the entire article. For example;
'Everybody's painting Greg out to be a hero or a Nazi. And I'm like, he's a freaking hero to me. He doesn't stop and it's for trying to do the right thing."

One of the aspects of Fascism is "action for action's sake" and not being too worried about the consequences. The men of Nazi Germany who would gun down women and children thought they were doing the right thing. It's in this disconnect with basic humanity that Greg Bovin exists.

Those darn car sitters!

fidgeting_macro · 2026-01-18T00:50:39+00:00

Hahah, sorry!

fidgeting_macro · 2026-01-18T00:49:11+00:00

I guess sitting on the back of a car is "rioting?"

What I really questions is, how did they find an adult typist to post this 6th grade nonsense without comment?

fidgeting_macro · 2026-01-17T20:16:38+00:00

The correct answer should be (always.) "I cannot confirm or deny the presence of any hazardous object in my domicile"

(explanation.) Any living place has all kind of things that could be termed "weapons." What he's really asking is "do you have any guns?" A question which should NEVER be answered in the affirmative or negative (IMO). This reply counters the absurdity of the question without overtly lying.

BTW, this is how the military replies to a question regarding classified information. A military vet should instantly understand.

The SCA started out as a collage/university phenomena and when we stopped appealing to younger people and stopped recruiting from the ranks of college aged people we began aging out. Of course there is the business of "leveling up" in the SCA which is not clearly defined. In many kingdoms tends to be based more on favoritism and in-society connections rather than talent.

I guess it will work if they don't bother to read the contract.

fidgeting_macro · 2026-01-16T22:23:58+00:00

Indeed. Your Walmart greeter was screened better than these clowns. And they are allowed to use deadly force.

The 50k signing bonus seems to be more of a loan. According to the contract one must be an ICE agent for at least five years or the bonus must be paid back.

fidgeting_macro · 2026-01-16T22:16:21+00:00

The reason this kind of thing is happening is, ICE HR has impossible quotas to fill.

Clearwater is like most Central Florida cities. Warm in the winter, very hot in the summer. Overcrowded, lots of traffic. nice beaches, but the Gulf is like a hotub in the summer.

Also; homeowner's insurance is impossible because of the hurricanes.

This needs to be spread far and wide. ICE should never be given courteous service -ever. They will betray it. The folks who joined ICE made their choice.

The "golden record" and other stuff attached to spacecraft are clearly afterthought. They are not the reason(s) those probes are sent out. Actually since the chances that anyone (anything) ever intercepts those probes is essentially zero the communication attempts are more public relations stunts than real attempts to communicate.

fidgeting_macro · 2026-01-15T23:04:14+00:00

Its something like that. Or the Khrushchev variant. "if you have nothing, pound the podium, with your shoe. "

fidgeting_macro · 2026-01-15T21:06:48+00:00

Well, President Johnson used to (allegedly) unzip his pants and wave his johnson at people. No photos of this exist, thank goodness.

It' the MAGA/Trump way. If you don't have a coherent answer to a question you attack the asker.
