Every single fucking day there are headlines about ICE committing all kinds of atrocities, so there are probably 10x more atrocities commited that are not being reported in the news.

And I never see any headlines of any ICE agents being prosecuted.

WTF is happening in the USA. Are there no laws? No one to enforce them?

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 53 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

I'm honestly surprised that ICE isn't getting shot more, with all of the shady and illegal shit they are doing. They really should.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 hours ago

The trigger happy people are all in the other political party.

[–] GaryGhost@lemmy.world 40 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

They target the most vulnerable and non threatening people. Moms and children. Guna are expensive, if they surprised you in the. Bathroom they wouldn't have time to react

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

People are also going to have to weigh living, and getting deported and hopefully a short terrible period to possibly be happy again versus shooting at ice, possibly killing someone (which most people have a moral aversion to) and almost certainly being killed in return.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 52 minutes ago* (last edited 51 minutes ago)

Exactly. That's why the smart strategy would be doing the same, not reacting to their insane armed assaults. Not that I would condone such actions, just pointing out a random thought I had once.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 hours ago

Hold up. You think the people being deported are going to have a rough time for a bit and then be happy again?

They are being sent to labor and death camps in countries that they aren’t from. That terrible period you’re talking about is going to be for the rest of their lives.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

i know of atleast 1 case where they did, i assume there's more they're just not getting reported on (the revolution will not be televised)

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S 26 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Are there no laws?

Not for the Epstein class and their lackeys (e.g. ICE, cops, politicians)

No one to enforce them?

Nope. Most of the people with the guns in this country like the violence.

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

While a ton of people have guns, I'm thinking most of the people online who talked so big about using them were bots or astroturfing.

No individual is going to hold them accountable. We need organization for that.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 5 hours ago

If unidentified, masked agents show up on my property in an aggressive manner, I am absolutely opening fire and burying their bodies in the acreage of forests out back.

It won't end well for me, but we outnumber them. If even every 100th person took out at least one of them, they'd cease to exist pretty quickly.

There would be other ramifications, but we're getting there no matter what anyway.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It's a bit sad seeing Americans completely unable to act without someone telling them what to do honestly.

Individuals absolutely held powerful figures accountable throughout history, but I agree that won't happen in the US

[–] tym@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

EU can sell it's 10 year bonds to cripple this administration. It'll cripple the EU economy too, so it won't happen and you don't support that. It's totally going to be a few murican citizens that bring this admin to it's knees. So sick of this narrative when EU acts like the democratic party in the US.. all talk while making money hand-over-fist

The ammosexuals are loving the fact that ICE is treading all over people. It's their team doing the violating of rights.

The people are too pacified to defend their democracy. They think it's a spectator sport where showing up once every 4 years to check a box is all that's required of them. A lot of them don't even bother to do that. So instead they complain online and stand around with a sign at a No Kings rally two times in 11 months.

Americans, this is your democracy. It's your country and your future. Demand better.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 points 58 minutes ago

Just won a bunch of elections, more coming next year.

That IS democracy, dumbass.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Nobody is ready to die for their democracy anymore and the elites know it.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)
[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

They already do. Those who never move, never feel their chains.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 0 points 58 minutes ago

yeah were "slaves".

Fucking overdramatic mental children.

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 3 points 7 hours ago

And I never see any headlines of any ICE agents being prosecuted.

There's been at least five this year.

The USA is the land of the free, and by free well, i mean free of raping and selling kids.
