This is very similar to what the nazi and the soviets did. Removing people under pretext of law with no regard to process or people. It doesn't seem as extreme but the course is definitely clear.

To the troll that keeps regurgitating "illegal aliens" rhetoric. Dressing up with masks and shit doesn't grant one an authority to pick people of the streets. Any "leader" that enables this just wants chaos and doesn't give a fuck about the nation. It's just tyranny under the guise of patriotism. It happened many times before.

Going to be fun putting all these monsters on trial after Trump is gone.

Gonna be fun watching democrats be like "trust the system! the wheels of justice turn slowly!" until it's too late. Again.

Honey, trials don't convict fascists. That's a fundamental misunderstanding of law.

Fucking shiro ishi ended uo dean of tokyo medical school. Nobotsuke kishi's dynasty only ended when some guy killed his grandson with a home made electric shotgun. Most of the italian fascists, aside from Mussolini, who notably did not get a trial, ended uo employed by the cia.

Germany wasn't much better.

You don't give nazis trials.

I feel like the end result will be like Nuremberg. Sure. Some of them got light sentences. But a lot of the leadership hung.

The ones whose names everyone knew, and not even all those. That's not what trials are for.

Would it be in poor taste to call these people jihadist?

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

They're terrorists by any definition of the term, jihadists suggests they adhere to the idea of jihad which seems a little far fetched

[–] okmko@lemmy.world -1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

Boo, but jihad just means holy war like Allah means God. I literally learned the word jihad from playing FF8. When do we take borrowed words literally versus phonetically?

[–] ILoveUnions@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

When words are taken into another language, their meanings often change from the original usages though

I can't wait for the trial about it gunning them down is self defense,

if it is a trump appointed judge, then it will clearly be considered illegal, which mean the whole point of 2nd amendment (defend against a tryranic government is BS)

or reasonable judge, which will determine it is self defence, then let the fun begin.

Oh so they can breathe through those masks. Isn't it strange how it was difficult for them 4 years ago but now they're totally fine with it.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 22 points 20 hours ago

Tbf, the mask is a bigger inconvenience when you're picking up veggies from the food isle than when chasing down migrants while hoping over a couple of fences. Don't your see? The aerodynamic design of the mask will...

Buy some guns and do it to them then.

It's America

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 31 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (2 children)

I mean, honestly, even without violence, this would be a fantastic protest technique. Imagine if whenever there was an ICE raid, there were hundreds of people dressed indistinguishably from the ICE thugs. Normally this doesn't work at protests. If you put on a fake LAPD uniform, they'll arrest you for impersonating a police officer. But since these thugs aren't in uniform, then you're not impersonating an officer by dressing like them.

"ICE thug" should be the standard uniform for every protester. Watch as their raids collapse into absolute chaos as they can't figure out who is actually on their team. Watch as the police thugs escorting ICE get completely confused as they don't know who to shoot their rubber bullets and tear gas at. Just imagine protesters milling about in active raid scenes, walking in like they own the place, giving contradictory orders to ICE foot soldiers, etc. Hell, the protesters could "detain" many of the people being seized, load them into unmarked vans, drive them a mile away, and then just let them go.

This can be weaponized, all without using actual weapons. Protesters could dress up like these ICE thugs and completely destroy their operations. ICE have forgotten that cops wear uniforms not just to protect the public, but also so that cops can tell who is actually a police officer.

It's time ICE learned exactly why police wear uniforms. By not wearing uniforms, they've made themselves comically vulnerable to mass disruption by nonviolent protesters. They've completely destroyed their own chain of command, and they are vulnerable.

Why aren't masked and armed individuals with weapons and no badges, that make attempts to abduct people, being shot?

[–] Eyron@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 35 minutes ago)

Probably because the Democrats are so anti-gun/weapon. The target demographic probably leans anti-weapon, even if they're not necessarily Democrats. The combination keeps them more vulnerable. It's even worse when carrying weapons in these areas is outright banned: no training, no permits, only police. The safety of the group is generally prioritized over the safety of the individual. Which, like here, can be a problem.

From how they're acting, it seems only a matter of time. They seem to check all of the boxes for a lethal or deadly force in nearly every state, even the strict ones. An unidentified suspiciously dressed group aggressively surrounding you and preventing your retreat? Lethal/deadly force can often be used to defend another person. Someone else can shoot these idiots in plain clothes with no identification.

Even if "police" identify themselves late, it seems to be setting themselves up for a weak defense

Never have I hoped the L.A street gangs just take this matter into their own hands

[–] Grimtuck@lemmy.world 56 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Because the whole second amendment thing was about carrying a gun in the hope that you get to shoot a black person, a school kid or a teacher.

We should respond to these people as what they are, domestic terrorists.

Where's the well regulated militia you Americans scream about so loudly when someone suggests not letting a mentally ill child own an assault rifle?

Isn't this exactly the government tyranny that argument is used to defend against?

[–] Eyron@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 37 minutes ago)

A lot of these areas have much more stringent gun laws. Yes, they can own the guns, but they can't carry them. Carrying/displaying will probably get them arrested and charged with a weapons felony.

I'm usually told we've moved beyond the need for people to do that. Then we should just leave the use of force to the police: The organizations that consistently seem to try to prove we can't trust them. I agree, the police should be an organization Americans can trust: How can we make them that way?

Does anyone see the irony?

  • U.S. conservatives "trust" the police, but still want civilians to be armed.
  • U.S. "leftists" distrust the police, but want them to be the only ones armed.

The U.S. never fixed their trust issues with police. So this seems like the logical result.

This has been asked many, many times. Most of them are on Drumpy's side. The same fucks on Jan6.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 33 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I think they’re the same people that are locking up random immigrants
