Call swat on them.
"Hello police? There are armed masked men waiting next to a black unmarked van eyeballing women as they walk by. I'm afraid when I leave they are going to try to abduct someone.
No they aren't law enforcement"
If they don't get guns pointed at them then you will make 4 thugs waste most of their day and piss them off.
Why have no gun carrying Americans shot these fools yet?
Just dress the same way they do
Jeans, some walmart sweaters, shitty face masks and cheap baseball caps.
Come on America, you've got this.
Because they're primarily targeting states with strict concealed carry laws
It's all that pesky risk of life imprisonment
Out of curiosity, is anyone allowed to dress up like that? What if everyone just decided to wear masks, camo pants, and hats?
They clearly don't have to identify themselves - why should we?
Scum and villainy
Just judging by the cover, my guess is that this album sucks.
Yea these guys don't look like law enforcement. They gonna get shot if its my turn cause these look like bad guys just kidnapping fools.
That's probably what they are. If they don't show ID and don't have a uniform, why should people believe they're officials and let them operate? Maybe they're just a bunch of MAGA idiots who decided to kidnap someone and take them to Mexico, thinking they're helping the Trump regime
You know what, that probably would stand in court. "I saw some random dudes in masks attempting to kidnap a woman so I intervened."
If they wanna look like a some random thug they'll have to accept thug consequences.
Getting your chance in court is becoming less likely.
"You see your honor, they were wearing ski masks, and I've been taught by Hollywood that a group of people wearing ski masks in the middle of the day with a black van means they are up to no good. So I took it to my own hands to shoot these motherfuckers down."
You can probably identify them by their ugly ass mall cop shoes
If people that looked like this showed up at my door, they'd be looking down the barrel of a shotgun. These morons are going to get shot.
Look how wide that dude's stance is. Fucking loser. What a bunch of big tough guys with masks. Show your faces, and be proud of your actions bitches.
Edit: It's giving:
Has anyone actually confirmed that those guys are actually ICE? Because they look like I could pretend to be ICE and get away with it.
There are already reports that people are committing crimes disguised like this, and I'm starting to think that's part of the strategy.
They know they cheated to get into power, and they don't have nearly the support that they claim to have. They know they don't have enough trained manpower to suppress the national mob that will arise when the Tipping Point happens. By establishing that this is the "uniform" of their "Enforcers," ANYONE can align with them by embracing their ideology, no joining or training necessary.
Eventually, we will have volunteers joining them in their assaults on protesters, zip-tying their neighbors and dropping them off at the local ICE facility, and eventually just organizing their own little ICE Militias, and the government will be just fine with all of that.
Well. If there's nothing identifying them as an arm of the state, it's legal to shoot them in self defense should they try to kidnap you. You can also say that the law doesn't matter anymore as the US government is flagrantly violating it but that also means that the law no longer has legitimacy as the government is breaking it's end of the social contract. Therefore, normal morality in the absence of law applies which says that self defense is legitimate.
