Fascist Paramilitary surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot, fired at her windshield, and dragged her out as she screamed that her children were inside the car. [Aurora, IL]
depending on where you are, using a paintball gun as a weapon gets it treated as a firearm
and if somebody's shooting at you with a firearm, you goddamn well have the right to shoot back. or at least that's what I've been told about the US by the people who voted for this kind of shit to happen
Eventually, someone will panic and shoot back, then they'll put away the non-lethal and start killing people, for safety reasons. For examples see any interaction with local police.
Almost certainly pepper balls. I don't know what else it could be. It's something powdered at least, and that's the only thing I know of that acts like that fired out of that weapon.
But yeah, I read the title and assumed gunpowder bullets. It sucks that we're thankful for "only" this level of violence.
You were lied to by the gun lobby. The second amendment people are clearly on the side of ICE. Guns work as an oppressive force to prevent people from stopping ICE, not the other way around.
I assume you want to not give them this additional legitimacy by calling them the police, I think that's good... but they are functionally the police in the broader sense of the word
We DON'T know what you're talking about. Because you just said the most vague nonexplaintory "It's coming", with zero context or followup. I could say "It's coming", and in MY head I'm talking about game 6 of the world series. I would know what I mean, but if I said it in a post about fascism, people would assume I'm saying fascism is coming. Which it's not, because it's already here.
That's where everybody else's confusion stems from about your comments.
Damn, poor baby; a fraction of the horror you supported committing to foreigners had returned home to affect you. Maybe you shouldn't have spent decades loudly demonstrating that you fully consider this kind of thing fully acceptable under the assumption no-one would ever do it to you.
Even if every protest voter voted for Kamala, she would not have come close. Do the bare minimum of analysis before bleating out establishment propaganda you saw on digg.
Dem with absolute refusal to address the issues within, I’m not shocked at all.
Official uncommitted count was just over 700k, and she lost by 2 million. Both parties lost substantial amounts of votes compared to 2020, but Dems lost way more. Repugs lost 2 million, and Dems lost 10 million voters, comparatively.
Uncommitted was not the problem, it was one problem for Dems. A far bigger problem was not holding a primary election in good faith.
Here’s a shocker for you: when these dipshits anoint yet another corporate stooge who obviously doesn’t give a fuck about people’s material living conditions and policy desires, they lose. Apparently you should get used to it.
The president is elected via the electoral college. Trump’s margin of electoral college victory, 86 votes, was in line with historically tight races — including 2020, 2016 and 2004 — and is smaller than the winning margins of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George H.W. Bush. Trump’s margin was nowhere close to those in historic landslide elections, such as Ronald Reagan’s in 1984 and Nixon’s in 1972, who both had electoral-college margins above 500 votes. Stay in china or russia, or wherever your cave is.
bro they've been winning all year, this is winning to them, they don't care who the person really is so long as they can imagine it's somebody they don't like
No, that's sad. You don't go to a kid with cancer and say "Well that's unfortunate.".
I'm european, so I'm not sensitized to the current situation in american cities. I hear lots of thrilling, I get annoyed. I still recognize it's a good thing. Where did I go wrong?
I do when I have other things going on in my life. Like hypersensitivity, mind numbing work, multiple psychological illnesses. I also completely recognized that these are good. You do not understand nuance. I can find something good and still don't like it. Take things like sports or veggies as examples. Both things lots of people do not like, but agree help immensely with no downside to speak of, next to the uncomfortableness. It just so happens that this tool for fighting fascism isn't the prettiest.
What I'm asking myself is why can I not say something and be taken literal. Not be interpreted into and just be left the fuck alone. Disagree if you like to, but don't interpret some made up bullshit into what I said because you infer my personailty from other people online. I am probably the least typical person out there. I am bisexual, I have adhd, I am gifted, I am hypersensitive, I was bullied into suicide attempts from the day I went to kindergarden to my last day in school, I have multiple physical anomalies like hyperelastic fascia or low bodyweight at weird levels of strength, which is partly of my ridiculously high metabolism, causing me to eat 2-3 times normal calories or else I'll just slowly die. I could go on, but I'm sure you're uninterested, because you think I think I'm special. bit the truth is, only people like that understand that there is no way you're ever accepted by anyone. No matter how hard you try, people will always misunderstand you. Even if you meet someone that's such freak show like you, you will never understand each other, because you are just too different. So fuck you, fuck your thoughts about me go on with your life. I have but one person similar to me in my life. I have but one person that understands me. And I am ridiculously lucky to have one.
No I am not a "republican", which doesn't even make sense, because I'm german, no I'm not a "lib", no I am not a "holy centrist", no I am not whatever you think of me. Unless, that is, a socialist, leftist, anarchist... And yes you can partially support them at the same time, such as anarchism on virtual spaces and socialism in everyday life. Don't tell I don't because I fucking do.
I hate this world sometimes. Because of it's inadequacy to accept me. Which is insane, because I'm supposed to be in one of the most special accepting communities in existence.
I have no friends. And no, it's not bevause of the way I talk, you're a stranger. I don't talk like this in real life.
I didn't call you any type of political affiliation. I just think you're kind of an asshole. Or more likely autistic and when criticized for responding inappropriately, instead of recognizing "oh yeah, that's my autism", you argue about people criticizing you.
We should not be criticizing resistance to oppression.
You can disagree, and you can perform your own resistance, but we should not discredit resistors no matter how annoying it may be, or even how aggressive it might be.
I specifically said they're important. I did not find them faulty, which is what criticism is about. To some extend, an annoying whistle can even be beneficial. Being heard better, or serving as a source of confusion for adversaries.
Doesn't change the fact it's a high pitched rattling noise that makes my head ache.
You lot are waaaay too sensitive.
And you need to make sure that what you say something is, is actually that by definition.
You do realize your comments here are visible to everyone, yes? These aren't DMs, boomer. Gaslighting is silly to even try, so I'm not sure why you bothered.
Again, don't be a coward like your kind always are when confronted. Let's see your evidence. Seeing as it's so obvious and we're all so wrong, this should be very easy for you.
Oh no, am I bullying you? I'm sure that's very frightening for you, having to read mean words on the internet. Have you tried not being a sniveling melodramatic crybaby?
I'm giving you a chance to back up your claims, show you're not a fascist and prove us all wrong. Your side keeps claiming we hate free speech and stifle debate. Here you go, I'm a giving you a platform. This is your chance to hit the heavy bag, champ. Show us what you got.
You claim that this person was on the run and that they endangered other people, pets, and personal property. Again, we can see those comments you made and screenshot them if you're still confused about how forums work, so trying to pretend you didn't is braindead and isn't working, and borders on mental illness. Literally no one here except you thinks those comments aren't visible and referenceable.
Let's see the evidence you have for your stance. Go on now, snort up them tears for a few seconds and make me regret calling you a fascist. I believe in you.
Also, again, irrelevant. There's no excuse for this fascist horse shit. I wouldn't give half a fuck if anyone did run from these dickheads, and they don't need a reason besides skin color or accent to kidnap people.
Also, again, irrelevant...I wouldn't give half a fuck if anyone did run
The level of resistance is entirely relevant to the use of force. I would recommend researching the use of force continuum.
If she is running, that would explain why they needed to subdue her, so she could not continue running and kill or maim someone else or cause tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage.
This is America, where we still technically have a 4th amendment.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
LOL every time. "Let's not have a nuanced discussion, let's just fling personal insults and continue omitting pertinent context so that everyone labels us shitty liars and we just make everything worse. Fuck it."
There’s no discussion to be had when there’s such a blatant disregard for human rights, and such an overt abuse of power. I don’t care what that lady did, I can guarantee you she did nothing to receive that level of threat of violence, or to warrant that amount of force from 5 overgrown cowardly motherfuckers. What you are saying is that maybe she deserved being treated like that because we don’t know the full details. What everyone else is saying is that no ordinary civilian should be treated like that, ever. Fuck your pertinent context.
What you're saying is that you don't give a shit about the lives of other drivers, pedestrians, pets or hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal property damage. Do those "human rights" not matter? Fuck you.
Also no previous context included but it looks like she was on the run.
This isn't publicfreakout on reddit. Pretending that there's some context to absolve people you agree with for actions you support in all contexts isn't gonna be received well here.
I don't know what that is but you just made up a whole lot of nonsense about me based on nothing. Would you like to try again, or are you not interested in a good faith discussion and you just replied in an explicit attempt to offend me?
you just made up a whole lot of nonsense about me based on nothing
Anyone who sees the gestapo acting like the gestapo and is like "there must be some context that justifies this" does so because they support the actions of the gestapo in all circumstances, regardless of context.
You also fabricated that. I don't agree with that. Writing incredibly misleading headlines like this absolutely destroys the credibility of the entire movement, and will be weaponized against it, as we've seen time and time again.
No, I've said all I needed to.
Excellent, feel free to fuck off at your earliest convenience.
I've already explained why the context is important in the comment you just replied to. If you choose to ignore it, that's not something I can help you with.
Writing incredibly misleading headlines like this absolutely destroys the credibility of the entire movement, and will be weaponized against it, as we’ve seen time and time again.
Is this your "explanation" for why you were pretending that there is some phantom context that absolves the gestapo? Because all I'm seeing is tone policing.
Weapon is visible at 0:06, appears to be a paintball gun. Unclear if it's pepper balls or something else.
Still illegal use of force, but thank goodness it's not bullets.
Let's treat it as just as deadly as the police would if you fired it at their car.
If some masked asshole is pointing a weapon at you while standing in front of your SUV, floor it.
This isn't going to stop until ICE actually gets the response Puppy Killer keeps saying they're getting.
They would have killed here if she did this.m, possibly killing her kids in the process.
I hope a lawyer gets ahold of her to sue ICE hard for harassment, assault, endangering her family, and whatever else they can.
Start taking millions in settlements, it’s better that dying during an escalation.
As long as it's taking everything the agents involved and their leadership own instead of just stacks of cash from taxpayers.
They already have them all out cash, so there’s no difference.
The difference is that if you reposses their truck they may actually learn how consequences work.
depending on where you are, using a paintball gun as a weapon gets it treated as a firearm
and if somebody's shooting at you with a firearm, you goddamn well have the right to shoot back. or at least that's what I've been told about the US by the people who voted for this kind of shit to happen
Eventually, someone will panic and shoot back, then they'll put away the non-lethal and start killing people, for safety reasons. For examples see any interaction with local police.
Almost certainly pepper balls. I don't know what else it could be. It's something powdered at least, and that's the only thing I know of that acts like that fired out of that weapon.
But yeah, I read the title and assumed gunpowder bullets. It sucks that we're thankful for "only" this level of violence.
I remember being told the second amendment was necessary for Americans to defend themselves from a tyrannical government.
"That could never happen here" they said about government brutality in other countries.
Now kids have to fear mass shooters in school and fascist shooters in parking lots.
Who would have thought all the "don't tread on me" posturing, was actually "come on my back, daddy" sensibility.
You were lied to by the gun lobby. The second amendment people are clearly on the side of ICE. Guns work as an oppressive force to prevent people from stopping ICE, not the other way around.
surprised Pikachu face
🖕FUCK ICE🖕
The world will be a better place when the people eager to work for ICE are dead or in prison.
Hopefully, I will get to refer some to Mr. Satan. He has the best facilities for holding the irredeemable, I hear.
Fuck the police!
These are not police, but fuck em too
I assume you want to not give them this additional legitimacy by calling them the police, I think that's good... but they are functionally the police in the broader sense of the word
If its armed like a duck and is racist as a duck...
Hey! Whoa! That's TOTALLY uncalled for, and you're just being ignorant!
......ducks aren't racist!
Then how do you explain this lack of diversity?!?
Minnesota. They tried adding Kenan in the 2nd one
What do you mean, I see a girl right there
I don't know about racist, but ducks are seriously rape-y.
we regret to inform you
They EARN the hate every day.
It came. It's been there for months already. This won't lead to some final epic showdown for democracy. Democracy lost the battle this time.
This fascism won't be voted away and the millions of assholes it emboldened now know how to do it again and face no consequences.
If this is fixable it'll take decades to fix.
I'm increasingly doubtful that it will be fixed without the whole system collapsing first.
maybe you want to make it clearer what you are referencing then
In the coming months you will notice many cryptic posts by people who don't want to be in the next video.
I'm lost sorry
What are you talking about
What is "it" then? You could be referencing an amazon delivery truck for all we know.
We DON'T know what you're talking about. Because you just said the most vague nonexplaintory "It's coming", with zero context or followup. I could say "It's coming", and in MY head I'm talking about game 6 of the world series. I would know what I mean, but if I said it in a post about fascism, people would assume I'm saying fascism is coming. Which it's not, because it's already here.
That's where everybody else's confusion stems from about your comments.
Cold weather. Xmas. Super Bowl. My bowels. The mail. Lots of stuff is coming.

If you still think protest voters impacted the 2024 election, you are deepthroating propaganda pushed to make you hate young people
1
You should look at the voting partiction history of this country and stop whining about the people that the rich want you to hate instead of them.
1
You just don't blame them for anything because you have people to your left that you actually hate as designated scapegoats.
You can't argue for 2 causes with the same breath.
At least you didn't have to live in a world where people had the option to vote for an anti-genocide candidate.
Damn, poor baby; a fraction of the horror you supported committing to foreigners had returned home to affect you. Maybe you shouldn't have spent decades loudly demonstrating that you fully consider this kind of thing fully acceptable under the assumption no-one would ever do it to you.
Even if every protest voter voted for Kamala, she would not have come close. Do the bare minimum of analysis before bleating out establishment propaganda you saw on digg.
ML with blatant lies. Shocker.

In my cave, we abolish the electoral college and don’t put up with superdelegate nonsense stealing noms from progressives.
BlueMAGA are just fascists; blaming foreigners for all their countries problems like the McCarthyist white supremacists they are
It's objectively true, you BlueMAGA dumbass
Shut the fuck up already. No one is happy about this but I hope they come for your ilk first.
Americans need to get out of their homes with their guns and fight this tyranny.
A lot of them are already out and are being paid a $50k sign on bonus to inflict this tyranny.
better be a non-zero number of double agents in those ranks
If I didn’t have a job. I would try to get hired. I’d just be the worst employee they ever had.
i heard you have to be certain amount years to recieve that bonus, a bonus they probably are going to renege on.
Well it is Trump after all and ICE isn't testing for critical thinking skills... Or maybe they are and are screening people who have them.
You first.
The racist shitbag using the US flag to cover his face is desecrating it.
Yeah, that's the problem here; the lack of respect for the symbols of American Civil religion
Are you "there yet" America?
bro they've been winning all year, this is winning to them, they don't care who the person really is so long as they can imagine it's somebody they don't like
You first, Antiyanks! lmao
Im really nostalgic for the time when I did not have specific examples of why the fourth and fifth amendments are so important.
if you are in a car and these people show up, you have right to use your car defend yourself.
Your honour I ran those sons of bitches over in self defence. And I will do it again if required.
I'm ready for some anarchy, TBH.
The link isn't working for me.

I know what they are and they are important, but the whistles are hella annoying.
You know what's annoying? A military invasion.
No, that's sad. You don't go to a kid with cancer and say "Well that's unfortunate.".
I'm european, so I'm not sensitized to the current situation in american cities. I hear lots of thrilling, I get annoyed. I still recognize it's a good thing. Where did I go wrong?
Probably when your primary response to a fascist attack on innocent people is complaining about your auditory annoyances.
"I'm european, so I'm not sensitized to the current situation in american cities."
You don't need to be sensitized to state violence to recongnize that the most important thing in a scene is not whether it sounds nice to you.
I do when I have other things going on in my life. Like hypersensitivity, mind numbing work, multiple psychological illnesses. I also completely recognized that these are good. You do not understand nuance. I can find something good and still don't like it. Take things like sports or veggies as examples. Both things lots of people do not like, but agree help immensely with no downside to speak of, next to the uncomfortableness. It just so happens that this tool for fighting fascism isn't the prettiest.

We should not be criticizing resistance to oppression.
You can disagree, and you can perform your own resistance, but we should not discredit resistors no matter how annoying it may be, or even how aggressive it might be.
I... didn't?
You said they were annoying, that's criticism.
I specifically said they're important. I did not find them faulty, which is what criticism is about. To some extend, an annoying whistle can even be beneficial. Being heard better, or serving as a source of confusion for adversaries.
Doesn't change the fact it's a high pitched rattling noise that makes my head ache.
You lot are waaaay too sensitive.
And you need to make sure that what you say something is, is actually that by definition.
^That's^ ^criticism^
Yeah yeah yeah, they're important but they make your head hurt. It's not hard to read between the lines.
On the run from her fucking citizenship? Explain now.
What would you like me to explain, exactly? I don't have anymore details than you do.
Apparently you have enough information we don't to claim she's an illegal crime lord and deserves this, so let's hear it. Don't be a coward now, fash
I made no such claim, and you know I didn't.
You do realize your comments here are visible to everyone, yes? These aren't DMs, boomer. Gaslighting is silly to even try, so I'm not sure why you bothered.
Again, don't be a coward like your kind always are when confronted. Let's see your evidence. Seeing as it's so obvious and we're all so wrong, this should be very easy for you.
You're absolutely right, I'm not sure why you're trying to gaslight everyone when they can all see your comments.
LOL you cannot bully me into providing evidence for claims I have not made. You can take your strawman somewhere else.
Oh no, am I bullying you? I'm sure that's very frightening for you, having to read mean words on the internet. Have you tried not being a sniveling melodramatic crybaby?
I'm giving you a chance to back up your claims, show you're not a fascist and prove us all wrong. Your side keeps claiming we hate free speech and stifle debate. Here you go, I'm a giving you a platform. This is your chance to hit the heavy bag, champ. Show us what you got.
You claim that this person was on the run and that they endangered other people, pets, and personal property.

Literally no one here except you thinks those comments aren't visible and referenceable.
Let's see the evidence you have for your stance. Go on now, snort up them tears for a few seconds and make me regret calling you a fascist. I believe in you.
What would you call that?
Why are you pretending to be unable to discern these statements that have literally nothing in common?
I'm not the person you blocked, who was obviously exaggerating for effect.
But this is still a claim, which you made while admitting you had no context. Why did you make that claim?
"There's no info on what happened before so I'm going to make up a justification and present it as truth"
Fuck off Nazi
"I don't like what this person said so I'm gonna fabricate some complete and utter bullshit and attribute it to them"
Get absolutely fucked.
Yes. That IS what you did. Thank you for recapping your own actions.
Ah dude BURN! You got me so good!
What context would make it alright for an unidentified masked paramilitary organization to snatch you out of your car?
What context did you use to derive that anyone thought any of this was "alright"?
Then how is your made-up "context" anywhere near relevant? It sure looks like a way to excuse what they're doing here.
What makes you think my context is "made up"?
Why don't you think facts are relevant?
"It looks like she's on the run" is not facts.
Also, again, irrelevant. There's no excuse for this fascist horse shit. I wouldn't give half a fuck if anyone did run from these dickheads, and they don't need a reason besides skin color or accent to kidnap people.
That's not the "fact" I was referring to.
The level of resistance is entirely relevant to the use of force. I would recommend researching the use of force continuum.
If she is running, that would explain why they needed to subdue her, so she could not continue running and kill or maim someone else or cause tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage.
These aren't cops dummy. They are chasing her and pepper balling her kids because they are the wrong color.
Fuck off, fasc trash.
This is America, where we still technically have a 4th amendment.
I'm not playing your stupid games. Just fuck off.
Go lick some shit boots, why don’t ya?
LOL every time. "Let's not have a nuanced discussion, let's just fling personal insults and continue omitting pertinent context so that everyone labels us shitty liars and we just make everything worse. Fuck it."

Nah, fuck you. 🖕
Yeah that's what I thought
Her SUV was stationary when he fired. There was no risk to any of those pearls you're clutching.
Yes and as we all know, Newton's second law of motion, all stationary items remain stationary in perpetuity, never to move again...
This isn't publicfreakout on reddit. Pretending that there's some context to absolve people you agree with for actions you support in all contexts isn't gonna be received well here.

Excellent, feel free to fuck off at your earliest convenience.
And you totally just wanted more context because you think it might make the gestapo look worse.
No. You wanted to pretend that the gestapo were justified.
What happened to "I've said all I need to"?
I've already explained why the context is important in the comment you just replied to. If you choose to ignore it, that's not something I can help you with.
Is this your "explanation" for why you were pretending that there is some phantom context that absolves the gestapo? Because all I'm seeing is tone policing.
That's a pretty horrendous thing to wish on someone who did nothing but add context...
