Border Patrol Agent Aiming 40mm Launcher At My Head - ICE Protest 1/31

Picture from Saturday's protest at the Portland ICE facility. An agent fixed his 40mm launcher at my head twice, despite me very obviously being a photographer.

Like fucking Russia or any 3rd World dump. Piss off MAGA!

Those "Third world dumps" often are the way they are because the US did violent military interventions in those countries.

This is the Imperial Boomerang coming back around. ICE is doing to Americans what their fathers, brothers, and sons were shipped off to do in Vietnam, Iraq, and countless other places.

This fact doesn't make the deaths of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and others, any less tragic. But It doesn't make the deaths of the people in those "Third world dumps" any less tragic either. I think these people deserve more respect than to have their homes called dumps.

I'm from a so-called "3rd world dump" and not even, because our death squads aren't as well-armed to kill civilians.

Then again, there may be a lot wrong with my country, but we definitely do not share America's problems in the first place.

Sees America doing American things in the American way they always have: "this looks like something those inferior foreigners would do!"

American exceptionalism is a religion

Libs looking at American pigs doing the thing they've done for a century: What are we? A bunch of filthy foreigners?
