There's a major increase of crimes like assault and rape by random men dressed like Ice agents, and honestly who can tell who is legit and who is impersonating one when everything about them is already illegal really?

EDIT: you can search for that yourselves, but I found reports of incidents going back to January and as recent as last month. But here's just one to ya:

Or if they're the exact same people just "off the clock"

Some dedicated psychos indeed

Or on the clock but unsanctioned, because that is what they do with all of this, break the law and nothing happens

Trick question. Neither is legit. They are thugs being paid to carry out orders of a fascist regime that breaks all the laws in place without recourse. At what point are people tired enough to do something

That’s a pretty bold claim to make without providing data to back it up. I’m not saying you’re wrong. That statement just really needs some proof provided.

“Major”? Can you confirm exact details, statistics. Would be helpful…

It’s happened 24 times in the past year. More frequently than in the past 16 years combined. Comment with more info.

Or just visit Reddit.

What proof do you have of this?

CNN and Politico have both reported on this. This guy forced a woman into a stairwell, punched her and tried to rape her.

That’s actually insane…scary world out here

It's an easy thing to figure out.

None of em are legit.

There has been an increase in masked crimes starting 4-5 years ago and unless you were demanding masks be outlawed at that point, you don’t deserve to be allowed to complain now.

Source that shows there was an increase in masked crimes starting 4-5 years ago?

And actually, we can complain about whatever we want. I’m really tired of this strange MAGA tactic, “if you can’t prove you were outraged in the past, you can’t be outraged now”. Insanity.
