Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah, but the key is: the old man is a Holocaust survivor.
He knows going in they might kill him, or worse. He knows fascism, death camps, and secret police.
If they kill him, he knows there'll be a massive public outcry: "ICE agents murder elderly Holocaust survivor." The agents' names and faces will be all over the news, and there will be sob stories from his family and friends. ICE will be publicly compared to Nazis. The agents themselves will be identified and outed even if mainstream media doesn't focus on it.
And he knows that the guys with guns are too stupid to realize HE has set THEM up for a trap.
You got that I was pointing out he died on his feet while they live on their knees yeah???
I didn't understand that's what you meant.
Yeah my bad. I sometimes get obsessed with understatement as an emphasis tool.
