Btw there's a fundraiser for the killer of Renee Nicole Good o.o https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-officer-johnathon-ross-family report this

I don't use cringe often but that whole page and pic are pathetic.

[–] AniZaeger@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Amazing how the "2nd protects the 1st" crowd are suddenly so silent. There only a few thousand ICE agents in Minneapolis. The metropolitan area has a few million people in it, and statewide statistics indicate that there is at least 1 gun in a little less than half the households statewide. That's over a million guns in Minneapolis-Saint Paul alone. If the people wanted to, the city could be de-iced very quickly. Expanding that nationwide, if the "2nd protects the 1st" crowd put their money where their mouth is, we wouldn't even be having this problem.

They aren't silent. They're using the bathroom at a Target.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

A story you can tell when you get homr that ends in "and everybody clapped" and they actually did!

[–] JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 106 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Am I imagining it, or do they have serious Tiny Dick Energy?

All the tacticLOL hardware, rolling with the whole crew, and motherfucker feels the need to aim his pepper ball gun threateningly? I hope those small, insecure men get every ounce of hell they deserve.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 2 points 19 hours ago

It is bizarre to me in a way I find difficult to articulate that they felt the need to treat a bathroom visit in a Target as if it required full operational kit.

[–] ClanOfTheOcho@lemmy.world 86 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Seriously. You might just be the baddie when you have to walk into Target with guns drawn, facemasks up, with an entire posse, just to take a leak.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 7 points 1 day ago

Well they are in occupied territory by the hostile savages.
This is a warzone and they got to be ready to go full tactical extraction at any time just like a real gravy seal

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 102 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This was a really great way to start my day. It warms my heart to see Americans treating these nazis the way they deserve to be treated.

[–] xnavy@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 day ago

Nazis deserve so much worse than words and whistles

His name is Gregory Bovino and he’s Border Patrol chief not ICE chief.

Makes you wonder why Border Patrol is so far from the border.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Not to defend this fuckface, but Minnesota is on the border... of Canada...

Seriously, fuck this guy. I'll feel better when I see a news article stating that he died after being a piece of shit to his wife so she frying-panned his cranium to pulp in his sleep.

[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 2 points 19 hours ago

Yeah, but Minneapolis is almost 300 miles away from the border…

Scanning the obituaries is the most hopeful thing I can do these days.

[–] _wizard@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

One hundred miles from the border is his domain.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 36 points 1 day ago

including any international airport, so covering almost everywhere where anyone lives

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

His mug just screams "I'm a white supremacist nazi piece of shit". Too bad you guys fought, bled and died here to rid us of that filth, only to have it infect your own society now.

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 86 points 1 day ago (1 children)

May this be the reaction these nazi brownshit thugs get everywhere they go, till they die old and lonely.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 55 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That would require a more permanent mark to prevent them from blending back into society. Im all for it.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You know how you get to Carnegie Hall?

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 66 points 1 day ago

They need to travel in packs to use the bathroom? Lol. Cowards.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

aw, look at them, they went to the bathroom as a group

I remember doing that at my birthday party as a kid when we were doing a horror movie marathon

[–] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Finally, a side of America that ISN'T shameful. Keep it going fellas!

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The side of America that isn't shameful flipped like 20 districts in the 2025 elections.

People just keep ignoring that ICE isn't actually very popular, at least, not in this lawless incarnation.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

I love how they keep throwinf out stats like violence against ice up 1500%. Well thats because ice deployment is up 100000000%.

lol of course it’s a target

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wouldn't it be like... Really funny, if that bathroom door was suddenly engulfed in fire while they were going? Wouldn't that be like, super hilarious?

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Just like a prank bro, don't worry bro it's just a prank

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 day ago

This should happen every where they go. For the rest of their hopefully miserable lives.

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

Look at those morons trying to walk with the swagger of TV military men. That tells of they know nothing but ignorance.

[–] FreddyNO@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

These guys deserve the deepest darkest of what's to come

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 22 points 1 day ago

Lol they thought they'd be safer outside, and they immediately got surrounded, pissing their pants.

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

God i cant wait till this starts happening where where

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

Thank you for posting this. This is wonderful!

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Of course these pieces of shit didn't even use parking spaces.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 1 points 21 hours ago

They'd have 6 vehicles taking up 18 spots or some shit if they had tried to park. Bet the toilet had a bunch of piss all over the place after their visit.
