Also, can we add rakes and other garden equipment too?

This is DISGUSTING

Yeah, I agree, Gestapo arresting people is DISGUSTING.

[–] Armand1@lemmy.world 69 points 1 month ago

DISGUSTING

I think you mean "hilarious".

I prefer this over people outright shooting ICE agents, which would escalate things even further.

[–] Egonallanon@feddit.uk 52 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Waiting for someone to paint a tunnel and walk through it only for ICE to slam into the wall.

“Local foundry hires hundreds to help fulfill flood of orders for anvils”

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Something something pianos and safes something

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

Have to be pianos. If you use a safe they just open the door and walk out.

"I said they were armed with BUCKETS OF WATER!! And our bad guys might SLIP AND FALL!!"

These terrorist are getting out of hands with these armed vehicles loaded with gallons of water

You're laughing? White supremacists are slipping and falling like a Loony Tune and you're laughing?

Well, carry on then

looks like they are supporting ice to me… maybe not ICE though. :p

ICE agents might fall on thier bumbums and get bruises on thier bottybots.

Not enough mummies around to kiss thier boo boos better and tell them it's okay.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hey ... that's internal bleeding you are talking about! So heartless! So cold!

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I wish their mothers had done a better job, personally. I don't doubt that their inclination towards Gestapo-ism is a result of personal failings due, in part, to shitty parenting and growing up in failure.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 12 points 1 month ago

Idk, I had shitty parents and I'm not a fucking Nazi. At some point personal responsibility is a thing, and it literally takes zero effort to not be a fascist.

You know what's crazy? Lately there seem to be more and more extremists whose families are normal. Like RFK Jr or Jesse Waters

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't know that I'd call the Kennedys normal. I don't know enough about Waters to comment on that. (Though I love that Ryan Grim clocked him once.)

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

The Kennedy family is a prime example of a assimilated Irish family, normal on the surface right fucking horrible within. My kin make fun of them.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Excuse me, I think you meant to say internal bleeding on their bottybots

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It's every American's responsibility to read the United States Simple Sabotage Field Manual available for free everywhere online.

Pro tip, try to pre chill the water so its just starting to freeze before you dump it

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hot water freezes into slicker black ice.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If there's one thing ICE despises, it's black ice in the street.

I’m glad I have ADHD and will forget about this by tomorrow, or else I’d spend my weekend trying to figure out what temperature and droplet size makes the slipperiest ice. You can probably use far less water with a mist sprayer, assuming the mist doesn’t freeze before it hits the ground. (Saving water means better coverage by the time you run out, being my thinking.)

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Pit ice cubes in the containers, got it.

[–] 1orangecat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh no, protestors are lacing the streets with chemicals of dihydrogen monoxide to prevent ICE from doing stuff. 

Libs put that shit in vaccines, too. It's all connected!

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Oh noes! They're using gravity to disperse dihydrogen oxide on sidewalks!!!

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

On a semi related note, watching ungodly amounts of Cartoon Network during the 90s helped me learn English

Some Fox News host will read this comment section and accuse us all of being terrorists

Meep-meep, motherfucker

[–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

I don't think Fox News hosts are aware of Lemmy's existence

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Fighting ICE with ice.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (9 children)

Oh, for god's sake. Let the protesters blow off some steam. How could this gag possibly hurt ICE? Only a stupid person would walk carelessly down an icy road...

Oh, wait...

Oh, no!

QUICK! CALL AN AMBULANCE! THOUSANDS OF LIVES ARE AT RISK!

I've already seen agents that have ropes or something like that tied over the soles of their boots/shoes

They are probably just off the shelf ice cleets that you just put over the shoe.

Ice wearing Ice, drinking a Smirnoff ice listening to Vanilla ice while being not nice.
