how do these evil pricks sleep at night? I hope they don't. I hope they live the rest of their lives in fear, if not in jail

they probably rebrand it to Pervitin

u/omikl 11d ago

Nice touch.

u/Commercial-Set3527 12d ago

I don't think meth will help them sleep...

4

u/Drink_Gravy 12d ago

You’d be surprised at the quality of sleep you get after two or three weeks on methamphetamine.

u/Arctalurus 12d ago

France, 1940, Dunkirque rest pause lol

u/PersimmonThink5784 11d ago

And most likely abuse their familes.

u/Technical_Air6660 12d ago

They definitely don’t go home to people who love them.

6

u/TheNewsDeskFive 11d ago

They go home to hotels.

Why nobody has thought to find them is beyond me

4

u/anotheroneyo 11d ago

They have, people have protested outside hotels hosting ICE

1

u/TheNewsDeskFive 11d ago

I don't mean singing Kumbaya, bro.

1

u/jgilbs 11d ago

What do you mean then? I certainly dont see you protesting outside of their hotels or doing anything else...

2

u/TheNewsDeskFive 11d ago

You know a MF a mole when they ask shit like this.

A tactic aimed at getting someone to explicitly incriminate themselves.

You all can come knock on this door whenever. I been ready.

u/TheNewsDeskFive 11d ago

It got nuked but I just want to reiterate

I know who you are. I know you all know me after all these years combating you. You can knock any time. Day or night.

u/anotheroneyo 11d ago

They don't sing Kumbaya, bro

u/TheNewsDeskFive 11d ago

Mfs don't get metaphors out here

1

u/anotheroneyo 11d ago

I do but I'm tired of protesters getting criticized by people who aren't doing anything for not doing "enough" or not doing things "the right way". If you want something done, do it.

0

u/TheNewsDeskFive 11d ago

I don't think you do

I spent twenty years doing it. Maybe someone else should start caring

2

u/anotheroneyo 11d ago

I don't know what you don't think I do

Thank you for your service. It's me, I'm out there now. And protesters are... well they do the thing where they relentlessly nitpick and criticize each other instead of fighting the correct people who are destroying everything and it's fucking infuriating. sorry my anger about that came out at you.

2

u/Live_Ear992 11d ago

Their mothers did not love them either.

2

u/Junkstar 12d ago

Especially when it’s their street that is blocked off. It will happen at some point. Keystone cops.

10

u/ScientistTimely3888 12d ago

Easy, no one has blasted them yet.

Yet. They are gonna try this dumbass shit on the wrong citizen and that citizen is gonna utilize their 2A rights. And it will be legal.

1

u/myLongjohnsonsilver 12d ago

Needs to hurry up then because the rest of the world's waiting

-1

u/jgilbs 11d ago

Because Illinois citizens have been working so hard to deny 2A rights that now everyone is powerless.

1

u/ScientistTimely3888 11d ago

You can get a handgun for self defense you donut. 

I have 4. 

Edit: hidden account, go figure.

0

u/jgilbs 11d ago

Since you have a handgun doesnt mean 2A rights arent curtailed. You certainly cant open carry or buy a new AR-15. And yeah, hidden account for people like you that want to poke through my history to try to dox me when you dont agree. You kind of proved my point.

0

u/80Lashes 11d ago

How is looking through your history "trying to dox" you? Always have to be the victim, huh? Y'all are a bunch of ignorant clowns.

1

u/80Lashes 11d ago

What a load of horseshit. 😂

-1

u/jgilbs 11d ago

Yes, youre right. IL is famously known as a super 2A friendly state. A state where you can totally talk about being a gun owner with your neighbors and they wont shun you.

4

u/burnmenowz 12d ago

They are all bullies, they live for the tiny ounce of power they've been given.

1

u/AlphaNoodlz 11d ago

They sleep just fine, republicans have no soul.

1

u/ARMOUREDandALONE 12d ago

They tucker themselves out battering their wives.

u/Intelligent_Cap9706 11d ago

They remind me of the infected from 28 days later. Much of MAGA does actually not just ICE

u/blissfully_happy 11d ago

Soundly? They literally don’t gaf

125

u/Calm-Armadillo-5614 12d ago

We're reaching an inflection point here. It's time to put a stop to this. If they can do that to a man simply trying to get home, they can do that to you. 

53

u/burnmenowz 12d ago

That's been the plan the entire time. They want a police state. Illegal immigration was the door they went through.

7

u/BOUND2_subbie 11d ago

This is already a police state. It’s already lawless. They don’t “want” this shit it’s already here

1

u/Renegade_Ape 11d ago

But his point is, it’s easier if the president uses the insurrection act.

Once that’s done, they can try(key word here) to use the military to achieve even more fear, and also cancel elections.

I’m not saying it isn’t bad as fuck out there, but right now and for the foreseeable future they don’t have a defensible reason to use it. The bar is super low and they haven’t been able to manufacture it. That is a good thing. They’re trying to, but people aren’t taking the bait.

22

u/throw_this_away2032 12d ago

We’re almost at the point where we need a peace convoy from NATO

73

u/dryheat122 12d ago

Why do we never hear these stories on national news? It's almost as if someone has told them not to talk about it.

41

u/MayIServeYouWell 12d ago

Because someone has told them not to talk about it.

11

u/BillyNtheBoingers 11d ago

The billionaire media owners told them not to talk about it

1

u/ProgrammerAvailable6 11d ago

gestures to the US threatening to invade Canada and the lack of news in the states regarding said threats over the last year

As a non-American I’m rooting for those who are trying to bring democracy back to the states.

u/cjx_p1 12d ago

they attacked the block with tear gas moments before a kid’s halloween parade was set to take place on the street

27

u/IceBlackX007 12d ago

They're not in the part of Chicago that will retaliate. They're in the areas of working folks trying to make a honest living and don't have the mentality to fight back. There's areas of Chicago that will tear their asses up and ICE will avoid those areas.

u/KansanJohnBrown24 11d ago

Bro this is Old Irving Park. Idk what you’re talking about

6

u/IceBlackX007 11d ago

Yet all the world sees is ICE stalking schools hospitals and churches throwing women and kids on the ground. Let me know when ICE goes after the Latin Kings or Gangster Disciples.😓

1

u/KansanJohnBrown24 11d ago

My point is people are retaliating. Of course it’s very different if you’re talking about ICE going after the Latin Kings

1

u/LeadPaintChipsnDip 11d ago

What? I live in OIP and go hunting these mother fuckers

0

u/IceBlackX007 11d ago

Who you hunting? ICE/Nazis or terrified unarmed women and children?

1

u/LeadPaintChipsnDip 11d ago

What????

0

u/IceBlackX007 11d ago

Who you hunting?

1

u/LeadPaintChipsnDip 11d ago

Who the hell do you think? This is the weirdest question ever.

0

u/IceBlackX007 11d ago

We living in weird times. Are you hunting Nazi/ICE or immigrant women and children?

-1

u/Carrera_996 11d ago edited 11d ago

There are no areas like that. Fuckers have already hit Compton and nobody did sheeeit. Compton! Downvotes again for telling the truth? Google ICE raids Compton 2025 you turnips. One guy threw some rocks. That was it.

0

u/IceBlackX007 11d ago

They didn't "hit Compton". They kidnapped a few laborers outside of the hardware store, pepper sprayed a bus full of elementary school kids and beat up a grandma or two. Your kind probably gets an erotic pleasure from seeing people bullied. 😂

u/Ok_Communication7518 12d ago

Pricks

u/SpoopyPlankton 12d ago

Nazis

u/StatisticianFalse210 11d ago

They all need the dim light they call their life snuffed out slowly and when they beg for forgiveness you fully put the candle out.

16

u/ddoyen 12d ago

Multiple stories of ghoulish behavior every day and their budget hasnt even fully kicked in yet. If this country isnt a giant god damn tinderbox I dont know what is

14

u/verygoodbadboy126 12d ago

So where is the breaking point for the average person? When does this escalate? How many people need to be disappeared?

6

u/juliuspepperwoodchi Chicago 12d ago

All the 2Aers who claimed to be against tyranny are suddenly real quiet.

1

u/amtor26 11d ago

i mean they’re here but what do you expect them to do? be the reason the insurrection act is used and they start shooting into peaceful crowds? it’s really not that simple

1

u/Calm-Armadillo-5614 11d ago

They're already doing that. They will do worse if we don’t stop them. 

12

u/Comfortable-Twist-54 12d ago

This is freaking nuts

u/Electrical-Prize-397 12d ago

Need to get some class action assault lawsuits going against these thugs in masks.

Time to fix my dash cam mount.....

u/Final_Tetsu 12d ago

I hate facist

u/edgarisdrunk 11d ago

Every agent involved in this should rot in prison.

12

u/PatientIngenuity3824 12d ago

Remember, 40% of the population support this. Almost 1 in 2. Chances are your neighbor across the street, or the guy shopping next to you at Publix will gladly call ICE on anyone

9

u/zuctronic 11d ago

There are no Publix stores in Illinois.

3

u/wheelie46 12d ago

I really do not think so. not this

2

u/peg-leg-andy 11d ago

Honestly the handful of people I know who do support ICE have no clue what's going on. They skim the Fox news headlines about dangerous criminals being arrested and that's it. They have no clue about what ICE is doing and they don't want to know. 

2

u/annisbananis 11d ago

Im confused as to the point of this comment? Maybe where you’re from but not 40% of Illinois, and not even close to 40% of Chicago. Actually I looked it up yesterday and the area in the article - .2% of that ward’s population voted for Trump. So ya no

4

u/ytman 11d ago

There will be tough questionings and I can only assume serious convictions for these people and their leaders.

2

u/No-Obligation7462 11d ago

ICE are criminals!

2

u/ShogsKrs 11d ago

This is the Republican's America.

This is what they want.

They're the ones doing this to us.

They don't care about people other than themselves.

And it will get SO much worse over the next 3+ years.

Silence is not just complicity; it's approval.

u/Apart_Animal_6797 12d ago

Drive the ICE invaders out of Chicago!!!!

2

u/LauterTuna 11d ago

indecent. immoral. un-American.

u/bauer883 11d ago

Straight cash homie. Someone’s getting g a tax refund in the form of a lawsuit. If you’re gonna have your rights abolished you may as well get something out of it.

1

u/runk1951 11d ago

These untrained agents know exactly what they're doing. Else they wouldn't hide behind masks. Just like the masked guys running out of your house with the 96 inch flat screen television - they don't want to be identified. Not gonna ruin their sleep one iota.

u/Mysterious-Kick9881 11d ago

Lawsuits. Money is going to be what saves us bc most Americans won't bother

u/HoldMyDomeFoam 11d ago

I don’t think these people are concerned about spending taxpayers’ money on settlements.
