They don't look like law enforcement, you should probably open fire if they try and get onto your property.

Masked, no badge. That's a good way to get yourself shot.

If these people approached me I would shoot.

I am curious to see how many incidentscome out where there are of ACTUAL kidnappings that happen because some geniuses get the idea to just go grab some people and throw them in a van while dressing up like these ICE idiots.

You want to give gangs a free pass to grab random people or rivals off the street? Make your "official govt activity" look like gang activity.

It may already be happening in immigrant communities. What are their families going to do - report it to the cops?

That's a lynching posse, and not a gathering of law enforcement officers.

No badges, no name tags, no exposed faces… let’s see “ ICE “ try this in a state with strong self defense laws.

Cowards. Fucking cowardly bullies with their truncheons.

And if the dude on the right wouldn't go down and stay down with one shove to the chest, I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.

Call swat on them.

"Hello police? There are armed masked men waiting next to a black unmarked van eyeballing women as they walk by. I'm afraid when I leave they are going to try to abduct someone.

No they aren't law enforcement"

If they don't get guns pointed at them then you will make 4 thugs waste most of their day and piss them off.

Well. If there's nothing identifying them as an arm of the state, it's legal to shoot them in self defense should they try to kidnap you. You can also say that the law doesn't matter anymore as the US government is flagrantly violating it but that also means that the law no longer has legitimacy as the government is breaking it's end of the social contract. Therefore, normal morality in the absence of law applies which says that self defense is legitimate.

Pathetic. Take off your masks, pussies. I wanna see the faces of the people who kidnap my friends.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 29 points 1 month ago

Just judging by the cover, my guess is that this album sucks.

[–] Airowird@lemm.ee 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

All I see are a couple of MS13 members about to perform a kidnapping, better alert SWAT!

Everybody should always call the cops if they ever see this anywhere at anytime. That's insane.

"You see your honor, they were wearing ski masks, and I've been taught by Hollywood that a group of people wearing ski masks in the middle of the day with a black van means they are up to no good. So I took it to my own hands to shoot these motherfuckers down."

How can anyone look at these people and say “they’re the good guys?” MAGA is insane and dangerous.

[–] guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Why have no gun carrying Americans shot these fools yet?

Just dress the same way they do

Jeans, some walmart sweaters, shitty face masks and cheap baseball caps.

Come on America, you've got this.

But for real, why is all of this so shitty looking?

Every fascist state I can think of gave (relatively to the states wealth) a lot on paramilitary troops uniform image.

Even mafia or mere street gangs know they have to invest in some style.

USA should try like a foreign-exchange-presidents or something, then after a 6 month semester, boom - ICE gets designers threads, the troops can march, and all the Signal messaging is in Korean.

(Im not sarcastic about the question - why don't the ICE agents need to look "cool" & distinguished? Are they just some sort of in-between militia? Or is that actually all that & I just don't recognise it? They dress like poor students applying for their summer office job.)
