Bytes, my man, you need an archived link. https://nitter.net/PabloReports/status/1919822694477947003#m

Edit: A reminder to go after the argument, not the users. No troll baiting.

The only disappointing part of the article is that the 2 brown shirts continued to live.

I still think about this scene a lot because I've been there sheen relatively normal people casually talked about going to cities and shooting "democrats“ while also talking about the guns they were currently buying. I should have turned them in.

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 17 hours ago

I should have turned them in.

And put yourself on the list to be visited by "ICE."

[-] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

I have too many family members who are Leo, plus other reasons why they shouldn't do that. Plus it would be homeland security or FBI for various other reasons. But it could be ICE because I know a lot of immigrants. It would be a clusterfuck.

I wonder if the director told that actor "have, just, the worst trigger discipline. Make it look like you have no business handling a firearm."

[-] duhbasser@lemm.ee 6 points 16 hours ago

In the movie this is right after he executes 2 Chinese journalist, so lack of trigger discipline kinda makes sense. Oh and he’s about to try to execute a bunch more people in the up coming moments

[-] miraclerandy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Agreed. Dude was unhinged and didn’t give a fuck about any of that in this scene. Which obviously made it more tense

[-] duhbasser@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago

I’m not sure how well received this movie is but I really enjoyed it. The movie did a good job at not really identifying this characters “military affiliation” as well as the first group of militia they ran into. To my knowledge, nothing really identified these two groups as being affiliated with the government or resistance, so the tendency to just kill everyone you don’t know is probably how most things would get handled in the fallout/duration of a civil war.

They could be ICE, they could also be the KKK.

why did you say the same thing twice

America's Gestapo

¿Por que no las dos?

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Indeed, my thoughts exactly.

[-] Hikuro93@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

So how long until real criminals start following suit and impersonating undercover ICE agents? Not like there's much distinction between either "career" now, is there?

And then how long until ICE agents start showing up with holes on the ground because property owners "thought" they were real street thugs trying to rob them? Is there even a way to tell the difference? ~wink wink~

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 1 points 22 minutes ago

They'd be caught out too quickly.

"Hey, wait a second! Yeah, you're holding me at gunpoint but you're asking me to put the money in the bag? But real ICE would have just kidnapped me!"

Lol, really? Was no other name available?

He didn't ever say that, actually. It was likely first said by an activist in New Zealand https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jefferson-injustice-resistance-quote/

Bullies melt when faced with even the tiniest bit of resistance. Because they are fucking cowards. All bullies are fucking cowards.

They know what they’re doing is illegal, and they only get away with it because some people let them. Don’t be one of those people. When you see your rights being violated, resist! When you see the rights of others being violated, resist then too!

The actions of the manager of the restaurant Chang Chang were not only American, they were patriotic.

Stand your ground

[-] muusemuuse@lemm.ee 103 points 1 day ago

At some point, someone is going to fire the first shot. Then it's open season on ICE agents. And you know what? I'm okay with that.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 71 points 1 day ago

I do wonder how all the "violence is never the answer" folks will go if it comes to that. I think a lot of them would side with ICE, sadly.

Personally, I won't be upset if a would-be nazi meets an abrupt end to their career.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago

Violence is not the answer. Violence is the question. And the answer is "Yes"

[-] muusemuuse@lemm.ee 2 points 12 hours ago

That reads like a Cave Johnson quote.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

when life asks you if violence is the answer, you BURN THEIR HOUSE DOWN with the LEMON BOMBS‼️‼️

[-] muusemuuse@lemm.ee 2 points 8 hours ago

Yes! He's saying what we're all thinking!

This is how the brownshirts operated. Just thugs, power trippin', and attracting the absolute worst people who WANT to wear balaclavas and have the excuse to be intimidating assholes and have the power to bundle people into vans (or railcars).

"Batches? We doan need no stinking batches!"

[-] Wilco@lemm.ee 183 points 1 day ago

Spoiler: They do need a warrant.

Also "you are tresspassed" is a magical phrase that turns ICE agents into criminals and armed ICE agents into armed criminals that you can pull a weapon on.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 128 points 1 day ago

Funnily enough the "second amendment" crowd has been completely silent about all this shit. But people really have to use those stand your ground laws.
