It's only a matter of time till an ICE Agent is shot dead.

[speak easy]

“The public risk being harmed by individuals pretending to be immigration enforcement, which has already happened, and these officers also risk being injured by individuals who think they’re basically being kidnapped or attacked by some unknown assailant.

“People think: ‘Here’s a person coming up to me, not identified, covering themselves. They’re kidnapping.’ They’ll probably fight back. That endangers the officer as well, and that’s a serious situation. People need to know that they’re dealing with a federal law enforcement official.”

1. Trump was probably hoping for a few ICE corpses to parade around on his birthday.

Wrap 'em up in flags and tell everyone what patriots they were, giving their lives for their nation.

Thankfully nobody took the bait.

2. I'm With You Speak Easy

I've been thinking that for a while now. I think it will definitely happen. It could be because they think they're being kidnapped or it could be because they've had it up to here and just aren't going to take it any more. Or they might actually happen upon some very bad criminals.

3. I have no facts upon which to base this,

but based on the MO of these guys (cowards in face masks, no identification, random ass clothes and mismatched "Police" tags that can be bought online, actually FLEEING when citizens push back, unmarked cars, no warrants, and on and on and on), I feel it's more likely that a FAKE Gestapo agent (read: J6er) gets shot and killed before an actual agent.

It might not be prudent, but I know how I'd react if someone of the above description came breaking down my door.

HARD CORE KUDOS to the civil resistance!

4. Shooter will probably be as popular as Luigi with some.

5. Put me on a jury. I'd never convict.

6. I've thought it will happen

A shooting or a knifing.
Defense of I'm a citizen and was standing my ground.

I still can't believe a protestor or resistor has at least not tagged their vehicles with something like paintballs or spray paint.

8. It will happen

My guess is that many of these "agents" are J6ers deputized with minimal to no training and told to terrorize (and most of them are probably younger - 20s or 30s). Most border patrol that I've encountered are in their late 30s or 40s, and are considerably more professional. At one point ICE existed primarily as the place where you put your most seasoned agents (former DEA or similar roles). It makes me wonder how many REAL ICE agents were quietly let go in Musks's purge.

9. I guess we'll see if states with "stand your ground" laws really mean it. Nt

10. Plural

11. Golly, that would be terrible.

12. Isn't that what he's hoping for?

I'm not being sarcastic. Everything about how this is being done seems to be designed for getting people killed.

[Marcuse]

14. Could be.

[ecstatic]

15. That's why they're kidnapping people in court. No guns allowed.

It's their best chance of attacking and kidnapping an unarmed individual.

However, there's always the chance that armed individuals might start hanging out near the courts...
