Holy smokes, it’s totally wild that this is happening at all. We’re seeing people actually go out en masse and directly interfering with ICE. That’s huge. I love to see it.
Yeah New England is at least a small pocket of sanity for now
I can’t wait until ICE agents start seeing how some of us with guns defend ourselves.
At some point they risk re-enacting that scene with the little girl in “V for Vendetta” where the people have finally had enough with the brownshirts and swarm them. As they deserve IMO.
A) ICE had to call the local PD to bail them out. That’s significant, as it shows the government doesn’t have the manpower to maintain their terror campaign without local support.
B) The City Manager’s statement doesn’t seem to condemn the crowd at all. The statement (or at least what’s quoted) only criticizes ICE. Given that about 25 citizens were ready to throw hands at federal agents, that feels huge.
C) Worcester has a statue of a guy fucking a turtle in the center of town. Not relevant to the story, but I have to bring it up whenever Worcester is in the news. I hope you enjoy it (though the turtle clearly didn’t).
A1) Let it be known and not forgotten that Worcester Police are collaborators.
B1) The dichotomy of the political leadership condemning ICE and the police backing them up is noted.
B2) I expect there to be a concerted but quiet effort from federal law enforcement to identify and target the crowd members regardless of how the locals feel.
Turtle rape as a tasteful statue was not on my expected things to encounter today, but somehow I am glad I did.
Its one of the least distateful things I’ve seen reading about politics today.
Worcester is a weirdly fascinating city
Too bad I will not see it. It seems like it was a zany place.
you dont know, the turtle could be a freak
The police protecting the ICE thugs and targeting the good samaritans should result in every single one of them facing the same Nuremberg style trials as the I E gestapo.
That might be the turtle’s pleasure face. We dont know. Could be the best day of that turtles life. Any turtle bestiality experts here that can help us out?
The Wikipedia article is bonkers.
Harvey began to hear voices coming from the unfinished statue commanding him to take his own life.
Bonkers.
A) Fucking kill them.
They stopped heroic bystanders who saw a crime in progress and actually did something to stop it.
So I watched a video of it and as soon as the “police department” (as in not ICE) showed up and said to disperse cuz this is an unlawful protest, everyone stopped blocking the ICE vehicle. yt link - nypost - aprox 10 min no commentary
IDK How I’d react in this situation so I’m not critical of the human reactions here ,but wtf, unlawful protest!! What a weak threat! Is speaking out and fighting against fascist unlawful action happening RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU an unlawful protest? No. Would I be brave enough to face the bullshit consequences? Probably not, if I’m being honest with myself. But we need to recognize when the threats are also unlawful bullshit at least, right?
unknown liquid… sounds so sinister doesnt it. Bitch cops love to make press releases to steer public opinion with absolute contrived nonsense. It’ll be water or soda. It always comes out that they were exagerating and lying to help their contrived self serving fantasy story.
Fuck the Nazi SS and any foreign trash animal that works for them. These are not humans.
Why are foreigners “trash animals?” 🤔
Because they work with the Nazi SS?
Not at all what I said, or remotely in context of the allegory.
It may not have been what you intended, but it’s what I received as well.
You may want to clarify your intent, is all.Yeah I’m struggling to understand why the word “foreign” is in that sentence at all.
Yeah I don’t get why foreign is in there either lol
But fuck Nazis, that’s for sure.
not patriotic; not of the culture; targeting the exact motivation of these halfwits in a word. It has nothing to do with simple literal meaning; none of it does
Arm Yourselves tyranny is here.
ICE will get someone killed. Either they pull the trigger or someone actually uses the 2nd amendment.
if the police actually cared they’d drop the charges against the members of the crowd
If the police actually cared they would have joined the crowd.
Arguably, ICE was engaging in kidnapping with the intent to violate someone’s Fifth Amendment rights. They should have intervened against ICE.
Its also human trafficking
