A video recorded last week has ignited outrage online after it captured ICE agents violently arresting two brothers in South Norwalk, Connecticut, in broad daylight without producing a warrant. The men, identified as Ricardo Chavez and his brother, reportedly hold legal status to live and work in the United States.

The footage (credit @alwaysfilmthepolice) shows plainclothes ICE agents forcibly detaining the men in a public area. Witnesses say the agents refused to provide identification or present a warrant when asked, instead resorting to physical force and a taser to subdue the brothers before hauling them away. They also allegedly damaged their vehicle.

Community members who know the Chavez family insist that both men are law-abiding residents with valid documentation. “They work, they pay taxes, and they belong here,” said one South Norwalk resident who witnessed the arrest. “This was nothing short of a kidnapping.”

Who are the democrats in this metaphor? Some guy who was stabbing my bleeding neighbor with a different knife after Trump briefly stopped stabbing them?

They're the ones that only kill the one baby.

So why is your ire with the people who don't trust the guy who refuses to stop killing a baby every day? You get the guy to stop killing a baby every day and you'll have no issue getting people to trust them over the guy who kills 5.

But its really, really difficult to get people to enthusiastically support the guy who killed a baby every day, and promises to do it again.

It would be trivial if instead of killing babies, they stopped killing babies, then I could say "vote for our guy, the other guy is promising to resume the genocide", but instead we had dipshits in November of 2022 telling us to vote for more dead babies instead of telling the only alternative to the republicans "what the fuck, are you trying to lose?"

It's not.

My ire is with the people who refused to do what was necessary to prevent the 9 additional babies from being killed every day, the neighbor stabbed, etc. They keep pretending to care about the babies and the neighbor, instead of just owning their choice.

Yes, thats the fucking democrats. They knew genocide, sending cops to kick the shit out of the politically engaged young people that make up the core of dem ground game, while calling them antisemitic, that trying to be republicans all lower turnout with the base, they did it anyway, they intend to do it again.

^ You yelled at your neighbor, who's desperately bleeding out after begging you to pick option one and spare him and the other 9 babies from option too.

Of course that's no issue for you -- he picked option one and therefore that's the blood of a ~~liberal~~ fascist on the sidewalk.

[–] Corn@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wait, did my neighbor spend a year screaming at anybody that tried to tell the guy killing baby after baby that if he doesn't stop it, someone else is going to come kill 10 babies?

This isn't a good metaphor. The libs who got us here aren't the victims.
