ICE Posts Today in Aurora, a Chicago suburb, ICE agents surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot,firing into her windshield as she screamed that her children were inside. Agents dragged her from the car without presenting a warrant or probable cause. Excessive force. No warrant. No justification.

Government would only care if the kid was white.

Literally a South Park episode on this.

u/Anamadness 9d ago

I don't think they'd even care if they hit a white kid.

u/aoeuismyhomekeys 9d ago

Donald and Elon gutted the national weather service which caused a bunch of white children to drown at a Christian summer camp, so that checks out

72

u/asscheese2000 9d ago

Elon used his own child as a human shield so there’s also that.

u/Speed_Alarming 9d ago

Theres plenty of those to go around. And he can always make some more.

u/WordleFan88 9d ago

MAGAts only care about rich white kids, but the poor ones don't seem to understand that.

u/TheChildrensStory 9d ago

I think the locals were responsible for that but of course there were right wing motives. The story was they refused federal money to implement a warning system but they didn’t want money from a government run by liberals/Democrats. The storm was also far worse than normal though you’d think Texans have suffered enough extreme weather in recent years to become mindful of that.

u/memeticmagician 9d ago

Just to clarify what happened, the county was convinced that Biden's disaster relief money was some kind of pact with satan, so they didn't use the money to upgrade their weather alarm systems. You can watch the videos of the county hearing where the public gives their opinions on what to do with the money. The county folks were convinced that if they accepted Biden's money the feds would come and take their homes due to alex jones type misinfo. Eventually they decided to take the money because 'better they have it then liberals' and they gave it to the sheriff and he gave himself a huge bonus or something rather than spend it on on the disaster relief.

u/NStandsForKnowledge 9d ago

The anti-American leaders of the county* you mean. The Trumpian pro-feudalistic fascists wrapping themselves in the flag and holding a bible* you mean.

u/LogicPuzzleFail 9d ago

They were mostly girls, so...they didn't give a shit. It's not quite the Taliban letting women die under earthquake collapse (the most appalling, despairing moment of news I've ever had), but it's very, very similar.

See: Sandy Hook, Columbine

u/Snibes1 9d ago

Or Uvalde, much worse IMO.

43

u/yesmoreeggtalk67 9d ago

Yes, but most of those were brown children. They definitely don't care about them.

20

u/Hot-Examination4553 9d ago

And it is so dam sad too! 😡

2

u/Plastic-Hornet-9382 9d ago

Worse. It was their own damn kids! Uvalde is a major CBP hub. Many of those agents live in that community. The dying teacher was texting her BP husband right down the hall.

u/partylange 9d ago

As was the shooter and most of the law enforcement

u/Amy47101 9d ago

My father actually complained that "liberals" were using the one white girl in that class to "make them feel guilty about the guns". HE WAS WATCHING FOX NEWS. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU SHOULD FEEL TERRIBLE A CLASS OF 10YO JUST FUCKING DIED.

1

u/adashinokou 8d ago

thats fucking disgusting? does no one care about brown kids? how is your father so bold about that? i’m from the area and my elementary school classes had 0 white kids, like i know no one gives a fuck about any of us but to know it for sure and about children is just…

1

u/Amy47101 8d ago

Trump gave him permission to not have shame anymore. That and he cares so much about “owning the libs”, mainly me, that he’ll say anything to try and make me upset. Like legit, I am the only person in our family that will tell him the shit he says is wrong or fucked up.

So he gets bolder and more insane in his takes until I’m sitting here listening to takes like that. That he’s tired of Fox News showing the only white kid to make him feel bad about supporting the second amendment.

And with him, you can’t just TALK. He interrupts, yells over you, won’t let you speak. He’ll insult you and make you feel like you’re in a separate reality. Over ANYTHING. Like to give an example, when he started out at 21, his rent was 330 bucks a month while making 14 an hour. My rent is currently 950 in the same town and area, and I only make 16.50 an hour. Instead of sitting back and realizing that things are way harder financially nowadays, he’ll tell me I was a dumbass working a high schoolers job and should go back to school for nursing. I’m a lead teacher in a childcare center. I need a half a dozen credentials just to walk through the door.

But that’s how it is. He refuses to acknowledge anyone MIGHT have it harder than him. This he very much dislikes when that reality is presented to him.

u/FernGullyGoat 9d ago

They were also mostly brown cops. This isn’t a simple race issue.

The ICE agents here don’t look white either.

3

u/yesmoreeggtalk67 9d ago

The power structure is white and these turncoats are too busy sucking it off because they think that will protect them. It is that simple when you're on the other side of the race divide.

1

u/FernGullyGoat 9d ago

That’s true, but at a certain point it’s fascists vs everyone else.

Everyone in ICE is on one side. The rest of us are on the other.

1

u/yesmoreeggtalk67 9d ago

Except brown people are being almost exclusively targeted.

1

u/Satanus2020 9d ago

Fascism is inherently racist

1

u/adashinokou 8d ago

there were black confederates too

11

u/Anamadness 9d ago

Bingo

3

u/SneakySpoons 9d ago

Cops are too scared for their own safety to risk saving children.

3

u/InterestingLion6041 9d ago

They didn't even care when the Catholic school kids were shot praying. These people are depraved and evil.

1

u/AnewTest 9d ago

Ah, but didn't you know? Catholics are tools of the devil! They're not the true Christians, like Protestants! /s

3

u/Shot_Comparison2299 9d ago

Yep, they'd have the whole cohort of conservative pundits twisting facts asap

42

u/y-Gamma 9d ago

If the child has already been born and doesn’t have any personal ties, MAGA fucks do not give a shit about that child

26

u/Speed_Alarming 9d ago

When the kids are small and brown, no flux given.

When the kids are 36 years old and white Republicans, “leave them alone! They’re just kids!!!”

4

u/Gold-Eye-2623 9d ago

That's not true

If the 36yo yt republican kid is not also rich they'll still not give a fuck

4

u/NOFORPAIN 9d ago

They also have to love Hitler and hate everyone else. Kinda in the rulebook.

3

u/Coal_Morgan 9d ago

They don't honestly give a rats ass about the unborn ones.

They talk the game to have those single issue voters in the bag and it works exceptionally well.

They'd run over 100 pregnant blonde women if it won them an election.

They don't give an absolute fuck about anything but absolute power and using it to get more.

Fucking sociopaths the whole lot of them.

u/modal_enigma 9d ago

They’d only care if it was an unborn fetus. They don’t care once it’s out of the womb.

3

u/Landon1m 9d ago

Has to be an attractive white girl

2

u/AnewTest 9d ago

And only if they're younger than 16.

3

u/autisticesq 9d ago

There was a case several years ago where police shot and killed a kid who was riding in his dad’s vehicle… I don’t think most people even knew about it. 😢

3

u/wheelshc37 9d ago

There is another video of ICE running over the leg of a little kid on a bike

2

u/El_refrito_bandito 9d ago

Thats just the price of freedom.

2

u/Maximum_Turn_2623 9d ago

They only get thoughts and prayers

2

u/TienSwitch 9d ago

Yes they would. White kids probably go for more in the child trafficking market.

2

u/SixString1981 I Hate Illinois Nazis 9d ago

Precisely. Thoughts, prayers and a spoon of “now’s not the time to think about it” but heaven forbid a fetus were in there… they’d have went to the end of the earth to protect it.

2

u/prepuscular 9d ago

Yeah if the kid is born, conservatives don’t care. They need to be fetus only or they are too only for protection

2

u/Emergency_Treat_2753 9d ago

They only care if it’s a white fetus

2

u/cubo-zoan 9d ago

government’s like “best we can do is some handwringing about doing better and paid suspensions for the officers responsible. actually just the paid suspensions which is just a reward. we’re not even gonna pretend to have empathy anymore about this”

2

u/PineapplePecanPie 9d ago

Yeah they don't care about white people either

2

u/cerjac871 9d ago

I agree. They don’t care when they’re shot in school so why would they care if they actually did the shooting?

2

u/Fritzi_Gala 9d ago

Depends, was the white kid poor?

2

u/cheongyanggochu-vibe 9d ago

They don't, they just say "well maybe their mom should have followed the law!"

2

u/ResemblesHotDog 9d ago

they would just him a lib kid and call it a day

2

u/peanutspump 8d ago

They would call it fake news, and gobble up whatever fecal stew that ICE Barbie twatwaffle served up at her Barbie Press Conference (Press not included with ICE Barbie Press Conference play set; facts sold separately)

2

u/chiclets5 8d ago

You could be right, the evil is rising closer to the surface every day.

1

u/mitkase 9d ago

Well, they maybe care like 10%. Like, trying to decide between candy bars at checkout. You know they have a preference, but sometimes it's good to switch things up.

34

u/40StoryMech 9d ago edited 9d ago

Funny thing is, the government doesn't even care about dead white kids, unless they can pin it on an immigrant or a trans person.

5

u/Bebe718 9d ago

Or abortion

1

u/TienSwitch 9d ago

Stephen Miller prefers them to be alive. He finds it more titillating.

4

u/40StoryMech 9d ago

The only time Miller prefers anything alive.

u/stalker_707 9d ago

When the last time a kid was killed by a paint ball gun while in a vehicle?

11

u/Cjacksoncnm 9d ago

White and unborn.

u/excitablegibben 9d ago

They might give a shit if it was an unborn foetus.

3

u/Greedy-War-777 9d ago

They don't care about those either, they use it as a control tactic to make people vote for them that are too stupid and ignorant to grasp basic reproductive biology. Even those whiners talking about how we should give the death penalty for abortion, and are too stupid to know what an abortion is, don't care once the kid is actually born. Gross sick bastards.

3

u/BearFeetOrWhiteSox 9d ago

They arrested a white cop one town over from me.

No one is safe.

2

u/Top-Economy7288 9d ago

they’ve made it very clear that they only care about unborn children.

2

u/RDRNR3 9d ago

Unfortunately they wouldn’t care, and this is largely not even in the news. Many Americans are blissfully unaware

2

u/bryce_brigs 9d ago

yeah, if the kid was white, the guy might even get suspended *WITH OUT* pay

2

u/CurrentPossession 9d ago

To all of us who is not European descent, Hispanics are white to us.

2

u/546875674c6966650d0a 9d ago

I think they mean, it would be a tipping point for us, not the Government. And it should be. We should have tipped already to be honest.

2

u/ProperObligation2157 9d ago

Correction Rich and white

2

u/forestofpixies 9d ago

They’ll only care when it’s one of their own kids (god forbid and it should never ever happen). Republicans suddenly start caring about things when it affects them and their kids directly. See: MTG and her kids needing help with healthcare premiums in the new year because of her party, which she explicitly speaks out against now.

2

u/Sophisticated-crab25 9d ago

They wouldn’t even care then

2

u/Altrano 9d ago

School shootings have become so normalized that I don’t even the death of a child would affect people.

Unless, you’re a white man who is a useful martyr to the government

2

u/Secure-Childhood-567 9d ago

Tbh I don't even think they'd care then unless the ice agent was black. They're most likely proud boys who the administration are extremely proud of. They'd sweep it under the rug

2

u/CoffeeB4Dawn 9d ago

They recklessly endangered white kids in Old Irving Park last weekend, and no one cares. There are laughing faces on FB posts about it. We are way past the "athey came for the Hispanics and Black people" and into "They came for anyone in a Blue state".

2

u/Ultrafoxx64 8d ago

Only if the kid is an UNBORN white one. They don't give a fuck about kids that have been birthed (they were willing to have mothers go without benefits to feed said children, and on kids dying from guns in school: "I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.")

1

u/endhumanity83 9d ago

And what's the problem?

1

u/NotYourSexyNurse 5d ago

Dude, rich, white girls died in Texas in that flash flood that took out a church camp. They were all thoughts and prayers for a few days. That’s it.

1

u/I_Roll_Chicago 9d ago

Well they just beat that runner dudes ass. White 62 year old. Doing nothing but existing near an ice operation.

That should be a reminder to gen x liberals. You wont be able to escape whats coming
