14. Yeah like that one 'assault' that was being passed around.

You may have see it. The ICE goons are having one of their show off sessions where they surround their facility and act like they are under attack when it is just protestors exercising their 1st Amendment rights. They do not trespass. They do not instigate.

So, one of the goons suddenly grabs one of the protestors and drags them across the 'line of death' they the goons had established. Then, they use that to say that they are 'under attack' and that the 'agitators' are 'being aggressive' and they felt in danger ' for their lives'. As soon as the person was dragged over the line, the goons started attacking everyone on the street.

This is not about immigration and it is not about public safety. It is a revenge move and should always be stated as such. Never refer to their presence as 'immigration enforcement' or anything of the kind. They are the Stazi. They are the Nazi. They are the good squad that the regime wanted to be their little army that is not beholden to our laws. So, they created one. We should have done something then, but the goddamned centrists yet again decided to be banal about the whole thing.

And, here we are. There is a literal goons squad invading this state, as well as others who have not 'kissed the ring'. We don't plan to do that either. So, they occupy the state and force us too bend the knee. But, we won't do that. So, now, it is war, despite what some rose-colored glasses wearing people are saying otherwise.

When will we stop letting those with vested interests in keeping the same situation going on. They are getting something out of this, and I find that interesting... and worth a close look.

Not that it will happen, but I think it should.
