Predictably, the agency shared drone footage of the raid with Fox News.

      “Certainly Sent a message.”

      Yep. Seems like they know what they are doing is wrong and take being identified as a threat. Seems like we should all have that information then.

        No no no! We have to protect the freedom of law(ish) enforcement so we can have the freedom to freely free ourselves from the oppression of people who put paper signs on telephone poles.

      Fox News reported the suspect is being charged under 18 U.S.C. § 119, a federal law prohibiting the sharing of law enforcement officers’ personal information with intent to threaten, intimidate, or incite violence.

      Make sure your fliers state, “Thoughtful gifts for our brave ICE agents are appreciated!”

        That’s some 5D, non-euclidean chess right there. Start a charity that only pays out to ICE veterans who make less than the standard retirement amount, so it only covers those who are unable or unwilling to do the job. Restrict the posters to photos and names only so it’s clear that the charity isn’t soliciting hostile action against ICE agents but still gives potential victims enough information to evade most assaults. The “Blue Lives Matter” mob probably wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole. Even if they do, the resultant infighting will still distract from their potential targets.

        “For just a dollar a day, you can save this ICE agent, John Smith, and his family from a life of poverty if he ever leaves. He gave everything. Please just give something.”

    I bet there’s a soft-copy of this flier circulating on the Internet now, because this distributor likely knew what was going to be the end result.

      The US did so much more damage to itself in response to 9/11 than the event itself, maybe even more than its perpetrators hoped for.

        which was legitimately the purpose of the attacks themselves. everything basically went exactly according to al qaeda’s plan.

          Quotes from one of his speeches:

          …we, alongside the mujahidin, bled Russia for 10 years until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat….

          So we are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah….

          All that we have to do is to send two mujahidin to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaida, in order to make generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses without their achieving anything of note other than some benefits for their private companies….

          …every dollar of al-Qaida defeated a million dollars, by the permission of Allah, besides the loss of a huge number of jobs.

          As for the size of the economic deficit, it has reached record astronomical numbers estimated to total more than a trillion dollars.

          And even more dangerous and bitter for America is that the mujahidin recently forced Bush to resort to emergency funds to continue the fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, which is evidence of the success of the bleed-until-bankruptcy plan…

          And it all shows that the real loser is…you.

          It is the American people and their economy.

    66,000 arrests?

    Hardly.

    Probably closer to 7,000. Still awful, but it’s cute that they’re inflating the numbers so much.

    If you think you may be arrested by the Gestapo, but booby traps around your house and a rifle next to the door as well as cameras all over your property.

      Kinda flippant way to say they will get put in a US concentration camp.

      I know nazism is the norm in the US now, but for most of the world, it’s still considered ghoulish.

        The flippant comment is my way to use cynicism to express how utterly appalled I am by what’s going on in the US.

          If you haven’t seen the drone footage yet, I recommend it. Unfortunately, it seems that it’s only on Fox, and I won’t utter their links here. The video illustrates the situation of the country really well. It also reminds me that this unusual situation didn’t just drop out of the blue. It’s been building for decades. Also, many news outlets seem to be still keeping the “both sides” perspective on these outrageous acts, as the Overton Window keeps moving right using neutral language for bizarre power grabs.

            Agreed. I can only imagine what their personal conversations are like.

            Serj: Okay, this one’s going to be about the prison industrial complex.

            John: Yeah! More prisons! More prisons!

            Serj: Dude, no. Here, take these. Why don’t you go color something pretty while the adults talk.
