Goodness, these United States citizens are very brave and it's delightful to see how they frightened the Nazi ICE scum off. Unsurprisingly, the driver desperately held up his face mask to shield his shameful identity. But with this video going viral, that coward better hope he's not identified by patriots one day...

Thank you for sharing this, OP. This is a very worthwhile and instructional viewing for us all.

Are you a bot or am I missing the joke?

Hah knew it

Per ICE's own rules, he's allowed to shoot them when they do that.

[–] Pavidus@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

Repeatedly hitting the person with their vehicle. The irony is not lost on me.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 month ago

He is being attacked by a deadly weapon by a domestic terrorist, he would be completely justified in shooting the driver in the face. There's precedent.

I want to buy this person a meal.

What was he yelling?

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 32 points 1 month ago (2 children)

la migra

He’s warning folks immigration is out

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

chinga la migra

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Fuck ICE? Ha ha ha

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That makes way more sense than something about zombies because I was hearing a strong Z at the start

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well he’s also calling them a Nazi

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well that part is easy to understand, honestly the majority of spanish I've heard was on king of the hill

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well if you learned from Peggy then you’re fluent

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Maybe, but I'm not sure she is

Not all heroes wear capes

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago

If I posted this I'd probably censor my face but I guess this dude is brave as hell.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hero protects american citizens from other american citizens. So ludicrous. Hopefully when their dear leader is gone there can be some healing. A quick resolution to this is to get rid of the hateful madman who continually stokes the flames of divisiveness ( for his own profit but c'mon...it's more about the hate ).

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

The madman? Mate, the issue is not just one person, quite the opposite.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip -5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Looks to me like they were already trying to leave. Good on him wasting their time though.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Didn't waste long enough. I wanna see the catapults move in with the crates of eggs.

One guy in a sedan? We sure that was ICE?

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The fact that it's a Dodge Charger alone makes it a 50/50 chance

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For sure.

Probably also the fact that he was covering his face.

And maybe the criminal action of endangering someone who was blocking his path, by bumping him with his car.

Tbf, if someone started shouting "la migra" at me with a camera in my face, I might cover mine too despite not even working for the government at all. As much as everyone seems to want to become a meme these days I'd prefer not to, personally, and going viral over (what would in my personal case be) a false accusation while attempting to grocery shop isn't on my to do list today either.

I mean I'm not in a charger and I don't really look the part so in my case such an accusation is unlikely, and for sure 50/50 chance here just based on the charger lol, but the other 50% of that is still just "some dude who thinks chargers are cool," and that's just poor taste in cars. Though yeah not being worried about that assault charge is also a point towards "probably" in this one.
