This is DISGUSTING

Yeah, I agree, Gestapo arresting people is DISGUSTING.

[–] Armand1@lemmy.world 118 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also, can we add rakes and other garden equipment too?

DISGUSTING

I think you mean "hilarious".

I prefer this over people outright shooting ICE agents, which would escalate things even further.

"I said they were armed with BUCKETS OF WATER!! And our bad guys might SLIP AND FALL!!"

These terrorist are getting out of hands with these armed vehicles loaded with gallons of water

Waiting for someone to paint a tunnel and walk through it only for ICE to slam into the wall.

“Local foundry hires hundreds to help fulfill flood of orders for anvils”

Something something pianos and safes something

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Have to be pianos. If you use a safe they just open the door and walk out.

You're laughing? White supremacists are slipping and falling like a Loony Tune and you're laughing?

Well, carry on then

looks like they are supporting ice to me… maybe not ICE though. :p

I am definitely out here rooting for Mother Nature.

ICE agents might fall on thier bumbums and get bruises on thier bottybots.

Not enough mummies around to kiss thier boo boos better and tell them it's okay.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hey ... that's internal bleeding you are talking about! So heartless! So cold!

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I wish their mothers had done a better job, personally. I don't doubt that their inclination towards Gestapo-ism is a result of personal failings due, in part, to shitty parenting and growing up in failure.

Idk, I had shitty parents and I'm not a fucking Nazi. At some point personal responsibility is a thing, and it literally takes zero effort to not be a fascist.

You know what's crazy? Lately there seem to be more and more extremists whose families are normal. Like RFK Jr or Jesse Waters

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I don't know that I'd call the Kennedys normal. I don't know enough about Waters to comment on that. (Though I love that Ryan Grim clocked him once.)

Excuse me, I think you meant to say internal bleeding on their bottybots

Antifa is painting tunnels into walls and making our police crash their tanks. This is DISGUSTING

It's every American's responsibility to read the United States Simple Sabotage Field Manual available for free everywhere online.

Pro tip, try to pre chill the water so its just starting to freeze before you dump it

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hot water freezes into slicker black ice.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If there's one thing ICE despises, it's black ice in the street.

[–] Monument 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I’m glad I have ADHD and will forget about this by tomorrow, or else I’d spend my weekend trying to figure out what temperature and droplet size makes the slipperiest ice. You can probably use far less water with a mist sprayer, assuming the mist doesn’t freeze before it hits the ground. (Saving water means better coverage by the time you run out, being my thinking.)

Oh no, protestors are lacing the streets with chemicals of dihydrogen monoxide to prevent ICE from doing stuff. 

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago

Oh noes! They're using gravity to disperse dihydrogen oxide on sidewalks!!!

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

On a semi related note, watching ungodly amounts of Cartoon Network during the 90s helped me learn English

Bananas everywhere!

Some Fox News host will read this comment section and accuse us all of being terrorists

Meep-meep, motherfucker

I don't think Fox News hosts are aware of Lemmy's existence

Fighting ICE with ice.

[–] jmankman@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've already seen agents that have ropes or something like that tied over the soles of their boots/shoes

They are probably just off the shelf ice cleets that you just put over the shoe.

Ice wearing Ice, drinking a Smirnoff ice listening to Vanilla ice while being not nice.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Oh, for god's sake. Let the protesters blow off some steam. How could this gag possibly hurt ICE? Only a stupid person would walk carelessly down an icy road...

Oh, wait...

Oh, no!

QUICK! CALL AN AMBULANCE! THOUSANDS OF LIVES ARE AT RISK!

I'd say they're getting off easy because if I was an all powerful being I would instantly teleport them all to actual biblical hell.
