Text: ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out wearing masks in unmasked cars with no uniforms or identification, protesters keep dumping pounds of glitter on them so that everyone can tell they’re ICE for days afterwards.

Text on that image: who had “Glitter bombing the Gestapo” on their bingo card?

    Arm yourselves. This isn’t a joke.

    They want millions dead.

      Do you know that the KKK would disperse & never come back when would-be victims armed themselves and shot at them? A big element in the civil rights movement was vets coming back from the world wars with combat experience and firing back on their oppressors. Those are stories that get lost in the pEaCefUL pRoTeST propaganda, but arming up and defending their communities was a huge piece of the black civil liberties movement.

      Anyway, point is, turns out people who hide behind masks to commit terroristic acts are truly, deeply chickenshit. I’m willing to bet ICE would do the exact same thing as the KKK if fired back upon.

        The 2 go hand in hand. The peaceful element provides cover and public cause support for the more militant elements. They also make it harder to concentrate forces to deal with them.

        In turn, the militant add teeth to the peaceful element.

        An intelligent government acts early, before the militant elements can come to bear. But for best results both (technically all 3, including political) are required.

        Another good example are the Irish troubles. The IRA, while prominent, couldn’t “win”. The marches, and Sinn Fein did.

      The people in charge want to fill private prisons with a vulnerable population who have no recourse as they have little or no rights. It’s a grift at the expense of human lives. They don’t actually care about immigration, they’re just using white supremisists as pawns to achieve their goals. They’ll also use them to eliminate political opposition to avoid eventual consequences if anyone with a spine ever gets back in power.
