Wait, that’s how they’re actually dressed? They just look like random people. The fact that they don’t get shot more speaks a lot about how well behaved the people they are kidnapping are.
They’re also going after the population that are probably the unlikeliest to own firearms. That being said, if you’re brown and not carrying a firearm and your “papers”, you should probably change your habits. Fuck me, it’s disgusting that this is the case in America.
don you guys have an amendment that allows you to shoot such militia?
for self defense against a rogue state and shit?
That was written when the people and the government had access to the same level of firepower.
I think they look more like a bunch of thugs than normal people.
It’s the masks. Their body language is softer than my hangover shit.
Those are thugs, who were under qualified for mafia or even any respectable gang so they applied for the government job.
They look like NPCs.
The basic bitch version of fascism.
They don’t get shot because guns are for mass-shootings.
Haven’t read a single story where a gun was used against the tyrannical government / cops.
Mostly because you can’t “self-defence” agaist the police in the US. You will always be shot to death on the spot.
They’d blend in a lot better if they didn’t look like old western bandits about to rob a train with those masks.
Cowards. All of them. I hope they all get doxxed.

Got this from another lemmy user.
Suede denim secret police.
Jello called it, decades ago.
Interesting that Americans always argue that they need their guns in case the government goes rouge. So many comments say that they will get shot, because they absolutely look like kidnappers, yet nothing happens. Looks like you keep those guns around just for a higher suicide rate and school shootings.
These guys look like they’re about to rob a bank.
Nah, I imagine bank robbers as classy. These thugs look like the “gang members” they’re so desperately scared of. They look like they’re hiding weapons in their pockets to cause public terror. They look like they’re about to jump me for being in their territory and mug me of all my belongings. They make me feel like I should avoid walking down whatever street they’re holding up.
These are straight up criminals, looking like they’re about to commit crime.
You seem to be thinking of 1930s bank robbers like John Dillinger. I was thinking more along the lines of 1990s bank robbers, like the North Hollywood Shootout guys.
Bank robbers should strive to be like the payday 2 gang
Professionals have standards /s
Those masks and them carrying weapons is an automatic felony in my jurisdiction and any shop owner pleading stand your ground would be praised by the community. They don’t like immigrants here, but they hate the federal government even more.
Its sad really. They think this makes them good Americans, and probably satisfies their personal insecurities. You can tell by their stance they feel pretty powerful, but they look like clowns, and hiding their face makes it pretty empty, like kids playing sheriff.
Pathetic. Take off your masks, pussies. I wanna see the faces of the people who kidnap my friends.
I would call it into 911 and report suspicious activity
If they are this obvious, I’d see if I could get a flash mob of civilians with phone cameras.
Either they move, or if action goes down, there’s going to be a big protest soon.
Also we’ll know who they took.
No ceramic plates…
Why do they look like that?
Because USA! USA! USA!
Flannel is the new brownshirt.
Please no. I like my flannel.
There goes my entire winter wear.
If ICE does to flannel what Hitler did to his mustache, I’m going to be livid.
fun fact, flannel catches fire like nothing else
Really? So why do they give them to every worker?
who? ice? you think they provide their goons with the laundry day clothes they wear? i think it’s much more likely they’re telling them to wear what they want. but also, they’re fucking stupid. so there’s that
Flannel is wool and cotton, so… like pretty much most other textiles.
Cotton can continue to burn, but wool is generally self extinguishing, too. It’s one of the ways you can identify the fiber composition of unknown cloth (burn test).
Sorry. I was unclear. I just meant one would expect it to burn much as another textile of a similar blend. So more wool, less fire; more cotton, more fire.
They couldn’t possibly look more “police officer in plain clothes” if they tried. Generic flannel shirt, generic blue jeans, generic black shoes, a cap, etc.
PUBG-Look
No reasononable person would believe these are police. Not guilty.
Unmask and dox all these pathetic cowardly racist motherfuckers.
It would be interesting to follow them. Find out where they live or where they go in their off time. Then call the ICE on them.
All I see are a couple of MS13 members about to perform a kidnapping, better alert SWAT!
The call is coming from inside the country.
Looks like a group of shady men wearing masks intended to hide their faces around an unmarked van threatening civilians with weapons to me. Call the police, maybe hyperbolize it a bit. Make them either abandon their spot or waste their time justifying their existence to the police instead of whatever bullshit they’re there to do.
Looks like a bunch of fascists committing state-sanctioned domestic terrorism.
This is the correct answer.
Are you sure it’s not a group of protestors? Because then covering your face is illegal in some places now. Better call the cops to get those protestors back to the free speech zone.
BUT THIS IS STILL A TOTALLY NORMAL AND FINE DEMOCRACY, RIGHT CONSERVATIVES?
I’m pretty sure, in some states, You can shoot people looking like that.
If you’re serious, you’re wrong. But most people won’t stop you.
I actually just looked it up. In certain states, this falls under the “Stand Your Ground” law.
Defense of Others: State law permits the use of force, including deadly force, to defend another person. Non-deadly force is justified when a person reasonably believes it is necessary to protect someone from imminent unlawful force. Deadly force is justified to prevent imminent death, great bodily harm, or a “forcible felony” to the other person. Examples of forcible felonies include murder, robbery, and aggravated assault.
Immunity from Prosecution: A key feature of the Stand Your Ground law is potential immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits if the use of force is found to be legally justified. A defendant can request a pretrial hearing to determine if their actions were justified, potentially leading to dismissal of the case. The prosecution must provide clear and convincing evidence that the force was not justified.
Important Considerations: The force used must be proportional to the threat. Stand Your Ground does not apply if the person was engaged in unlawful activity or provoked the attack. Immunity also generally does not apply when using force against a law enforcement officer performing their duties.
Meaning if you see a bunch of masked men trying to abduct someone and they aren’t identifying themselves as law enforcement, you can legally shoot them to defend the person being assaulted. You would also be immune from criminal prosecution for doing so.
You’d better be a great shot though. And you’d probably get killed. At minimum for sure you’re getting arrested (and probably disappeared). But you are legally in the clear. And the news would be ALL over it. I’d like the TACO administration compete against Republican-state laws.
They wear masks for the same reason the Klansmen wore masks.
Aren’t they klansmen or their sons?
I’m sure more than a few of them have that in their history, along with numerous times starting a sentence with, “I’m not racist but…”
Look, I’m not racist but I have to say, I fucking love peanut butter.
“I’m not retarded but … I like rocks” -That one comedian, can’t remember his name
I just like how they feel. Know what I’m sayin’?
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crossesI always thought “some” was being too charitable.
