Social ICE/deportation protests and riots megathread

i gotta love his defiance though, he just told them to come arrest him. That's usually the kind of fear they hope makes folks cave and he's asking for it.

This is tough for me because I hate trump and gavin
, who is particularly sassy right now because he is shook he lost control of his state.
 
ya, certainly, but was it different anywhere else? were most of the people doing this black in other cities, I can only go by what I observed and saw on the news and in person.
I’m from the whitest city in the country, I can’t say for sure. I know what you mean about that surprise civic concern though, myself and a whole lot of other bleeding heart lefties hate to see how the response to the drug and homelessness epidemic made things worse instead of better
 
Things get worse for Newsom

Apparently he lied his ass off about Trump not calling or talking to him before Trump decided to do Newsom’s job for him . W/receipts


Trump called him at 1:30 AM. That’s rude. What a fascist asshole.

I wouldn’t have answered the first or second call.
 
In Seattle and Portland because those cities are very heavily mostly white, but I saw many videos of blacks beating on police cruisers
ok, I missed those. Seattle has plenty of all kinds of folks, every other person is brown, so it's not just that seattle is majority white. no one else wanted to be out there. I was only trying to do my job or I wouldn't have been out there, it was strange I tell you.

I even drove by one of my old mma buddies that had a group of students standing outside his gym right near the majority of the damage happening. It was a sunday, at least the worst of the days it happened and most of the city is sparsely occupied on a sunday.
 
shutting down traffic is one of the main tactics for non-violence, it's not really non-violent when you're stopping people from taking care of themselves and their families though who really have nothing to do with nothing.

Man, it just drives me nuts to see it. They hold up traffic for hours. And it probably makes people hate your cause whatever it may be. And this is violating the 9th amendment which covers a bunch of stuff like right to travel freely basically holding people hostage. I remember when that dumb girl got run over during the blm riots and it became black lives splatter

I dunno, I don't like ugly, not in myself and not in the world. I'd really just rather leave than constantly see this kind of thing and it looks like the future to me. It's just sad to me honestly, all of it. It's macabre fascinating though.

Ok, I should rephrase by stating that there are maybe 3 black peoole in both cities lol. Yet somehow, it’s in their neighborhoods where all the shootings take place when they do occur.
 
This is an interesting position. Soviet Union, the first 4 years? like, it was terrible....


is that @KAZSoliloquy or @payton ?
Local officials have de-escelated, and the riots are basically non-existent at this point, with the NG and Marines having done nothing to de-escelate the situation. It would have happened sooner if Trump hadn't of spouted his nasty rhetoric on social media.
You are lying fuck, go on any news channel with a live feed and you are instantly proved wrong.

Did you see the video where they purposefully stomp a guy with horses? Pretty awful and straight up brutality
Did you see where that guy tried to set the horses on fire ? One horse almost fell, which happening on concrete could easily injure it to the point where it needs to be put down

He deserved to salsa-fied.
Close, what you said was:

Which sounded like blanket call to violate the 4th ammendment. If I’m a commie and
Marching in the streets I still have my constitutional rights. That goes for every other person peacefully doing the same.
Remind me again what word comes immediately after the word commie in my post, you lying fuck.

yup, it seems like yesterday, it wasn't just highways either, it was main streets and it was unavoidable. I'm just a little guy out here trying to survive and they certainly weren't helping me.

The young girl that died was from portland and came all the way to seattle to die on a highway. Who has time to do something like that? Not me.

Was that the guy that got stomped on? If so, I’ll allow it but it was brutal and unnecessary imo
 
They are, though. La proudly declares itself a sanctuary city every chance they get. Same with Chicago and nyc
Declaring you are and it actually happening is no longer a thing. Pardoned Proud Boys and ICE have a 3000 a day quota. Regardless of Sanctuary City status. Hence the unmarked vehicles, masks and not providing ID when asked.

Yeah, it doesn’t feel like it was five years ago. Maybe because it was very raw and annoying to the point where it lingered more than most events.

oh, ya, i forgot to mention, not "everyone" was white, I did come across a group of idiots with no license on their cars and trying to live out some movie fantasy, couple cars of brothers trying to act pseudo military, most likely had guns (this looked like that group that was "taking over") Raz B and several other morons. Saw that in chinatown with police cars one block down, I got away and stayed as far aways from that type of bullshit as I could. Again, who has time for bullshit like that?

well, it was avoidable for large swaths of the population but it wasn't for me, I have to go all over the city and between cities and not only seattle was fucked, believe it or not, even bellevue had streets blocked off, because well, the police was not having any shit starting over there in bellevue so, well, some folks had a bit of trouble getting my delivery to them. One guy had to meet me at a taco bell, it was fucked.

I don’t love the way they do that as jump out Bois with no uniform or anything. They should have to present id when they approach imo. But I do understand why they try to hide and blend in because especially right now, they’re not too welcome basically anywhere. I remember when I was a young cop and arrested illegals for being here illegally and having to call ice and wait for hours for them to decide if they were coming to pick up the person. They did have to drive an hour to get to us though
 
Seattle hasn't seemed to bend yet, i'm seeing posters at this college i'm attending that tell people not to answer questions and most of the people I know aren't happy with any of this. incidentally, these immigrants do actually benefit some of the folks who are pro illegal. I know a manager who works at the (Bill) Gates Foundation in the food service industry and she mentioned how Gates had such tight security Ice would never get in.

Ugly times, ugly, ugly times.
It is. A friend of a friend in Miami's a bit worried. She's Canadian on a Green Card, looks quie hispanic. She has a criminal record stepping into some police fracas with her black boyfriend in LA some years ago. Considering Florida is considering (or already has) lowering the age for overnight school age workes being they've deported so many people employers are understaffed I kind of understand her worry.
