“I think we all know that criminals tend to hang out with criminals,” ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan said. “And so when we start to build a case, we’re going to be going after everyone that’s around them. Because these criminals tend to hang out with like-minded people who also happen to be criminals.”

So close to a moment of self-reflection and realization…

Yeah, it's almost like a certain president hanging out with and giving birthday letters to a certain trafficker

"We outlawed the activity that this group came together to do. Isn't it interesting how these criminals just happen to be with other criminals committing the same crime that we just made illegal??"

i think everyone with a working brain is always close to water and that the realization comes from drinking that water of self reflection; the problem is that they're either peer pressured away from drinking the water or believe that the water is toxic.

criminals being protestors.

Fascists. You might not know this, but in many states, it is illegal to give water to people standing in line to vote. Republicans consistently try to cheat.

Breaking the law, breaking the law, Yeah! Some of those who work forces, are the same that burn crosses.

Can you give the protesters a dollar?

.. and then sell them PPE for $1?

They don't care much about laws, technicalities certainly won't stop them from violently oppressing you.
