    And these Republicans will preach to us about their Christian goodness. How can anyone be so fucking cruel?

    When are people going to start taking cracks back at them? I mean if they want to get biblical with shit it does say an Eye for an Eye…

    I hope he sues the living shit out of DHS, for the cruel incompetence of firing into someone’s FACE at POINT BLANK RANGE. And if we ever get to vote these fascist frucking maggots out of our executive branch, then I hope the new FBI and DOJ prosecute the living shit out of this brutal asshole.

    This was a DHS agent. It’s not just ICE, folks.

    Call your elected officials every goddamn day.

  6. From the LA Times:

    >Another video shows Rummler inside the building, lying on the ground bleeding while agents fire what appear to be pepper balls at the back of the head and neck of a man trying to record the incident with his cellphone.

    >Rees said her nephew told her that the agents pressed his face against the pool of blood and did not immediately call paramedics.

    >“The other officers were mocking him, saying, ‘You’re going to lose your eye,’” she said, recalling what her nephew told her.

  7. Tons of videos showing them shooting point blank with this shit this was bound to happen 😡

  8. This thug should bare the burden of the poor guys medical expenses then. God damn pieces of shit.

  9. And the worst person you know is actively defending this saying he shouldn’t have been threatening/coming at/throwing shit, blah blah blah even though there is absolutely no evidence of any aggressive behavior from the protestors.

  10. I am counting days till somebody starts shooting and hunting ICE agents in the streets.

    I am not calling for any form of violence, as I know it will mean a lot of badly injured and dead people, but at this point it looks like a guaranteed thing, caused by ICE’s own stupidity, violence and manhandling people.

    It is painfully clear that they have no training, come with bad intentions and provoke violence. That bully mentality is rooted out from police, military…etc., but in ICE, it is a prerequisite.

  11. Do you want people to lose respect for all forms of law enforcement? Because this is how you get people to lose respect for all forms of law enforcement…

    They are ramping up because they know they are losing control. Control of the narrative, and more importantly, control of the people.

  13. I grew up with the Golden Rule, “Treat others how you want to be treated”, and I would say that was key to me having good morals and empathy.

    The news popping up everyday makes me feel like a lot of people did not have such a Golden Rule to guide their moral growth.

  14. The dicktator told them to “get rough,” so that’s exactly what they’re doing. Shit flows downhill.

  15. Oh God, is this that guy whose gofundme had the piece of glass near an artery they couldn’t remove??

    When you talk about this stuff with your friends and family, especially those in the center or on the right, please, please, please never let them get away with the “they shouldn’t have been there” / “well, what were they doing to provoke this?” bullshit.

    Protesting is our right. Nobody deserves to be injured or killed for protesting, full stop. Letting people hem and haw their way to rationalizing this is why it is allowed to continue.

  17. >“a highly coordinated campaign of violence *where rioters wielded shields*,”

    Not guns. Not knives, or flags coopted into spears, not zip ties and masks or bear spray.

    What’s considered truly egregious about these protestors (as opposed to maga ones who carry all of that with impunity) is the use of shields… You know, protective barriers – perhaps due to the excessive violence being utilized against them constantly, which is clearly documented, but still completely unregulated. Violence that is not just staunchly defended by the government but cruelly cheered on by it – while rabidly condemning and attacking and censoring the very mention of those rare victims of violence who happen to be on the right.

    How dare these citizens make preparations to defend themselves while exercizing their right to protest peacefully.

    Is there an organization/initiative out there who helps get guns into liberals hands? Things are becoming too dangerous and we’re being targeted. The day will come where we may need to be fully armed to protect ourself from this regime.

    I’m waiting people.

    SOMEONE who believes in the 2nd is going to have this happen to their son or daughter, and then things will REALLY get crackin.

    OH my GOD, they were wielding SHIELDS?

    This infuriates me to read. How can anyone not detest these people? These pigs. It’s breeding so much hate, when we can’t see justice doing its job against the monsters that deserve it.

    “*’Cause I’ll never say anything nice again/How can I?*”

  22. This time the horrible crime was coming to the aid of a fellow protestor. I wonder how the maga assholes are going to twist that to try and make it his fault?

  23. >A 21-year old anti-ICE protester has been left permanently blinded in California after a Department of Homeland Security agent shot him in the face with a nonlethal round at point-blank range on Friday.

    Casually calling something that can absolutely kill you “nonlethal” to whitewash the fucking horrors of what less-than-lethal ordinance can do to somebody at point blank range.

    Anyway, everybody knows what must be done, but nobody is allowed to say it.

  24. There is going to be a breaking point. The American people are not going to roll over and accept this forever.

  25. >“The other officers were mocking him, saying, ‘You’re going to lose your eye,’ ” she said her nephew told her.

    I bet the piece of shit who said that has an abnormally large cross tattoo.

    This administration is pure evil. You have to be a soulless monster to look at what these gestapo agents are doing to innocent people and you think it’s good.

  27. Hey remember when fascist Obama’s or tankie Biden’s gestapo crushed the skulls of right wing protesters?

    Yeah that never happened. Fuck you maga.

  28. >”That could have cost him his life,” Jeri Rees told the Los Angeles Times. “But now, for the next six weeks, he can’t sneeze or cough because it could do a lot of damage.… The other officers were mocking him, saying, ‘You’re going to lose your eye.’”

    I will never understand the cruelty, and the pure joy derived from it m, of these people.

  29. Why isn’t Newsom arresting these animals? If he won’t, then he should resign and let someone who will actually address the problem step in.

    We need nationwide, garbage worker strikes and refusal of service to wealthy neighborhoods and corporate owned businesses. Leave regular Americans alone.

    Let the trash pile op. Let them call their senators and flex their wealthy muscle’

    The majority of white people who voted on November 5th, 2024: ‘We love this! This is exactly what we voted for. The fact that you folks made excuses not to vote and then protested after November 5th is peak irony. All we care about is the cruelty to LGBTQ, non-white people, and anyone else that gets in our way, and promises made, promises kept! We’re one year in, and there are at least three plus more years of this. So deal with it!’

    *Among those who voted, 60% of white men and 53% of white women supported a racist, fascist, sexist pedophile.*

    SMH

  32. This is precisely why I am terrified to protest, which makes it feel like this is all on purpose.

  33. So how long are protestors going to stand by while ICE maims / murders them indiscriminately? Wasn’t there a reason the second amendment was added?

  34. >Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin described the scene as “a highly coordinated campaign of violence where rioters wielded shields,”

    Ah yes. Which is why every American soldier goes into battle with shields instead of rifles.
