Text: ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out wearing masks in unmasked cars with no uniforms or identification, protesters keep dumping pounds of glitter on them so that everyone can tell they're ICE for days afterwards.

Image below the text: a man in white shirt and black tie and glasses, with a raised hand, as if trying to get someone's attention.

Text on that image: who had "Glitter bombing the Gestapo" on their bingo card?

They are not ICE agents, they are bounty hunters from paramilitary groups paid by ICE to do raids.

That's why they are covering their faces, tattoos, wear mismatched military gear that you can buy online and act like they are not trained (because they aren't)

Arm yourselves. This isn’t a joke.

They want millions dead.

America is top of the list yet nothing happens. Seems like those "to defend against rogue government" arguments are just talk anyway and the entire world told you that for years.

Looks like Americans are all talk and just keep the guns around just for a higher suicide rate and school shootings.

Do you know that the KKK would disperse & never come back when would-be victims armed themselves and shot at them? A big element in the civil rights movement was vets coming back from the world wars with combat experience and firing back on their oppressors. Those are stories that get lost in the pEaCefUL pRoTeST propaganda, but arming up and defending their communities was a huge piece of the black civil liberties movement.

Anyway, point is, turns out people who hide behind masks to commit terroristic acts are truly, deeply chickenshit. I'm willing to bet ICE would do the exact same thing as the KKK if fired back upon.

The only good Nazi is dead.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Not important cuz it's obvious what your saying but I feel like the second half of the statement is necessary. This kinda implies there was one good Nazi

The 2 go hand in hand. The peaceful element provides cover and public cause support for the more militant elements. They also make it harder to concentrate forces to deal with them.

In turn, the militant add teeth to the peaceful element.

An intelligent government acts early, before the militant elements can come to bear. But for best results both (technically all 3, including political) are required.

Another good example are the Irish troubles. The IRA, while prominent, couldn't "win". The marches, and Sinn Fein did.

The people in charge want to fill private prisons with a vulnerable population who have no recourse as they have little or no rights. It's a grift at the expense of human lives. They don't actually care about immigration, they're just using white supremisists as pawns to achieve their goals. They'll also use them to eliminate political opposition to avoid eventual consequences if anyone with a spine ever gets back in power.

First they came for immigrants ...

No, honey, I wasn’t at the strip club… I was, uh, an undercover ICE agent!

Okay ,so if they covered in glitter, they're ICE. If not, they're kidnappers for god knows what. I think it's imperative people be able to distinguish their kidnappers, since the federal government is unable to do this.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Shit! An ICE agent!

No honey, I am a stripper.

If you see an armed person with a mask, assume hostile intent. Call 911 and report masked people with guns.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean... yes but that's only going to slightly annoy. Sadly I think this is going to take actually using a "stand your ground" law correctly. IE how the hell can anyone argue against, I saw a gang of masked men with a gun coming towards me and I feared for my life.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

The dream is for trigger-happy cops to show up and start shooting at armed individuals in masks.

Teach both groups a lesson about how to approach citizens.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Reality is, cops are as, if not more, likely to shoot at you or help ICE kidnap you to a concentration camp

Is there an online database for naming and shaming them yet?

Super Soakers and water balloons full of bright orange permanent dye.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I wouldn't point anything vaguely gun shaped at them.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Unmarked Vehicles masked men no uniforms no identification no badges? I think you should point a gun at them immediately. You have no way of knowing who they are and if they're about to murder you.

Garden sprayers would work but honestly they will probably shoot you the second something comes flying at them

Is this true? I haven’t seen articles or videos about it yet.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Best I can tell it originated from a satire website. It is still hilarious.

This is a memes community. Take anything and everything posted here with a grain of salt. Or glitter.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

Maybe this will give people some fabulous ideas.

Get a paintball gun with the paint balls filled with that permanent dye banks use for bank robbers.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Beet root boiling water is a very stubborn dye to wash off too.

While I applaud the idea, won't this land you an assault charge?

[–] [email protected] 100 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No fighting fascism without risk

Each person have a different amount of risk they are willing to take but the important part is to fight

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

You complete me.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 week ago

Do consult your lawyer before throwing glitter bombs at masked, not uniformed kidnappers that might or might not be ICE agents.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago

You're probably getting the assault charge anyway for giving them mean looks; may as well get some glitter in there while you're at it.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago

Only if you get caught

Just because ice don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s wrong

That ICE agent's name? Albert Einstein.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If I lived in an area where these thugs were operating and was concerned for my safety I’d consider carrying something like This long before I’d consider glitter. Let these thugs explain to family & friends why their faces look like blue/purple raccoon masks.
