      Imagine being a human being that breaks into a child’s home and abducts them

      From the article:

      Another ABC7 interviewee ducked upon hearing flash bangs detonate, and was then distressed by the sight of children detained. “They was bringing the kids down too, had them zip-tied to each other,” she said. “That’s all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where’s the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, ‘f*** them kids.’”

      [emphasis mine]

      Hey, it gets them paid which gets them laid!

      I’m sure any doubts about their occupation get washed away when their wife sucks their dick.

    So let me get this straight: they came for unnamed people they consider so dangerous thar they require helicopter drops and urban warfare tactics, and the way to keep the non-criminals safe was to drag them into the chaos? If one of the targets or a reasonably defensive citizen pulled a gun and started shooting the armed intruders, what were they expecting to happen to a group of kids zip tied to each other?

    A witness of the same name told the Chicago Sun-Times it was “heartbreaking” to see “kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers.”

    If this witness is telling the truth (and I have no reason to doubt them based on videos of how ICE employees have terrorized people), then this is some incredibly fucked-up shit. These agents are getting bolder and bolder in their contempt for people with each passing day.

      Sooner or later that contempt will come back around. Some of them will not enjoy that day.

      They are thinking about having an island vacation while doing so. Those children will also be the star attraction.

      …no /s. I am expecting the Trump Regime to use child slaves at Mar-a-Lago and other venues, and post-war documentaries will have many adults describing their abuse. They are the ones that lived.

      Biden, Harris, Clinton, and their simps are all why we’re in this mess in the first place.

      They didn’t want to pay more in taxes, so they’d rather have a fascist in office than a progressive.

      They’re the reason why democrats don’t have a leg to stand on when republicans say democrats don’t care about workers and only want to fight a culture war.

      The people at the top know a culture war is more profitable than a class war, so all the dumbasses and pawns underneath follow suit.

      She could have won if she was willing to disavow Israel, meaningfully oppose genocide, and believably support policies to mitigate our absurd wealth disparity, but she didn’t because the only thing she gives a shit about is getting paid just like the rest of the corporate dems

      People tried stopping Israeli Nazis, but you don’t care about brown people as much as your own country.

      But hey if you’re so sick of people not stoping the Nazis, why aren’t you out there with a gun defending people from them?

          No champ.

          By trying to get the only person who may have come around to do so. Instead she decided to take billions in lobbying for AIPAC and support genocide.

          But please misdirect your outrage and blame everyone but Kamala and the DNC.

      They control the courts.

      At some point, we’re going to have to realize that America is dead and the best solution is to start over without all the baggage.

        Hitler had full control too…until he didn’t.

        The Trump regime’s days are numbered.

        And every one of his henchmen and goons will hopefully face the justice they deserve.

    What the fuck happened with the water? This place didn’t seem great, but there were some apartments with nicer floors that clearly weren’t flooded before the raid and were flooded after the raid.

      Some are saying the landowner wanted a excuse to sell the property, sans tenants and obligations. They might have collaborated with ICE.

      Too warm for ice that day, so they became the wet bandits

      leaving running water on, going after kids, and all…

      Then again the crooks in home alone were probably much smarter…

    Something I’ve been pondering over this.

    Does anyone have a timeline of any of the abductions?

    The people we have seen so far are obviously poor, obviously don’t have smart phones, obviously don’t have ways to instantly communicate with everyone in their community.

    There should be a time when someone noticed shit was going down.

    I want 1. When the feds arrived. 2. When the feds took the first victim. 3. When the feds felt they were “done”.

    They sent a huge military like convoy in California to arrest one dude identifying ICE officers.

    Who are they trying to fool? Who are they trying to scare? Who are they trying to provoke?

    This all screams “look at what evil thing I’m doing, aren’t you going to hit me bro? Aren’t you gonna stand up to me bro? No you ain’t shit, you ain’t nothing” while they are only arresting people who have no means of remotely doing anything to defend themselves and they do it too fast for anyone to intervene.

    They’re trying to be school yard bullies. In schools in the US if you fight back against a bully you get punished the same. So my dad always recommended make them punish themselves.

    And I would be willing to bet everything in today’s mass kidnapping followed a plan and went according to plan. But if something in that plan is unaccounted for, then I bet they don’t know what the fuck to do.
