I would call it into 911 and report suspicious activity

They look like criminals with zero indication as to any authority. Not uniforms, no badges.

This nation needs to make it physically unsafe to be in such a state.

If those were medical masks it would be different: my buddy’s wife is immune compromised so he wears a mask when out and about as do I when we’re together. That ain’t this.

can't wait for them to be gunned down in self defense.

it will be so strange, they will be gunned down in the middle of a busy street with countless passerbys, but somehow there will be no witnesses

We used to have a word for people like this, what was it again, Ohh yeah, pussies.

New season of the handmaiden’s tale just dropped?

If you saw this on the street wouldn't you call the cops? I fucking would. From somewhere on the far side of the van, well out of their line of sight.

How do these guys not get shot more often? They look like regular dudes kidnapping someone. Well, I guess that's what it is, but serious, this baffles me.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 week ago

they look like the guys you'd fight in Marvel's Spider-Man

What is Blue Flannel McWidestance holding? A hammer? Pry bar? Cattle prod? What the fuck?

It looks like an extendable baton, for breaking glass or beating innocent people.

What if everyone started to dress exactly like that? Try and arrest someone then motherfuckers! Real life Spiderman meme ensues.

Isn't there a particular Nazi paramilitary that dresses up exactly like that? Those guys that were on a U Haul?

Fucking pussies.

Pfft, that's target practice

[–] maximumbird@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Fucking scum.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If I see this, I fully plan on asking them for their identification, if they refuse I'll call the police on them. Masked armed men menacingly hanging out wherever they are.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Armed gunmen with mask are famous for not politely waiting for you to finish a phone call before putting you in a death camp or gunning you down.

Walk up and join them. Wear a balaclava, carry a canvas bag with dollar signs on it. Caution: This plan may backfire if you're not white.
