The incident unfolded Saturday in Chicago’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say federal agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade
Shocking video shows a chaotic scene on a quiet Chicago street as Border Patrol agents in tactical gear drag a 67-year-old man from his car while children in Halloween costumes look on in horror.
According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding.
The incident unfolded Saturday in the city’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say the agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade amid an immigration enforcement operation.
If America saw what America was doing to America, then America would invade America to liberate America.
If those kids could read they would be very upset about this
Depends, how much money does America have, and can it be easily exploited?
America has oil.
And slaves.
Well yes, but the US has really has only ever done one war for doing slavery, and never really ended the practice there.
We do have lots of natural resources…
Has anyone checked Fort Knox lately?
America doesn’t invade because of such things.
Or you mean “liberation” in the very sense as Russia liberates Ukraine? Just killing and destroying for fun? Well, in this case America is liberating America right now!
ICE = Nazis.
These guys are just the SS at this point.
And they should be dealt with as such.
So what sort of low risk tactics can we start advising for people in areas where ICE is active? As much as we all want them shot on sight, I think a lot more people are willing to engage them in ways that they are less likely to be arrested and have their lives ruined for.
Things like snipping tire stems, or paint splashing windshields, are still probably going to get you in trouble, but you have a larger chance of getting away than directly assaulting an ICE agent. But that risk will still deter lots of people.
I want the Internet tacticians to brainstorm something that my 60’s white mom might be willing to do if she got the chance. Phoney reports maybe? Bad driving and eating a ticket? What can we come up with besides holding signs and recording for social media?
Rape whistles.
People have already been using them. As soon as ICE shows up, you start blowing the rape whistle and you don’t stop until they’re gone. This alerts anyone with brown skin to get out of the area and it also draws a crowd. And we’ve seen the videos where these fascist cowards run as soon as the crowd gets too big.
This alerts anyone with brown skin to get out of the area
I want everyone reading this to understand how surreal it is to have to type this sentence. It’s a condemnation of how far we’ve fallen as a nation.
I bought a Fox 40 whistle, 125 decibels. Less than $11. Considering that 1,800 people sent to Alligator Alcatraz are missing, that money might save lives from a mass grave.
Pebble/lentil in tire stem if vehicle unattended.
it’s what these guys were doing to protest large vehicles : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyre_Extinguishers
for the braver people, follow the French for inspiration. They were cementing cinder blocks in the road
Water balloon with paint isn’t a bad idea. Bad driving that prevents them from getting to their location, also not a bad idea. I think it comes down to context. You’ve really got to consider what’s going on and how safe you are by doing anything. In some contexts, your 60yo mom might get dragged out of her car and kneeled on until 6 of her ribs break. In others, you might be walking by an empty squad car, agents busy elsewhere, and you happen to have a paint balloon.
I’m gonna get a slingshot, so i can dent door panels and shatter windows/windshields from a good distance away without the possibility of it being considered lethal force
I also want to dent cybertrucks
They will still charge you with attempted murder and terrorism if you’re caught doing that, they’ve charged people worse for less. They have been detaining people and making up charges against even the most passive peaceful activists.
Yeah I know, but with the standoff out provides, it could either be used from concealment or just give enough time to outrun them, which is not particularly difficult
It’s also got no report so there is no indication of where it was fired from
Bingo. What bush did that rock come from? Not a clue, but that’s $2000 in glass and/or body work to repair

I have one of these that I like very much. Takes practice to be able to hit the broad side of a barn, or I may just be inept… Maybe with a wrist brace it’s easier but those are $100+.
Edit: I misspoke, here is one for $50

What can be done with that foul smelling fart spray?
ICES
I have a very active, physical job, and I break a rib or two every decade or so, just to remind myself that I’m alive - it reminds you with every breath for a few weeks. I already had this decade 's break earlier this year.
So I know what it takes to break a rib, and what it feels like. I can’t imagine the kind of force it took to break SIX ribs badly enough to cause internal bleeding. I’ve taken some terrible falls, and I’ve never hurt myself anywhere near that badly.
To cause that kind of damage to an unarmed person cannot be justified in any way. Surely they could have detained him without causing that level of injury.
And he was an innocent American citizen? I hope he sues the Federal Government, ICE, Holman, Noem, Trump, and the ICE Nazis who injured him.
Pay the man.
You legitimize ICE by using the terminology of actual law enforcement. They didn’t “detain” him, they assaulted and kidnapped him.
Valid.
And why? He’s a US citizen in a vehicle. Why is ICE even touching him at all?
They’re not law enforcement and have no reason to touch US citizens. We’re not required to show our papers to them.
I can’t imagine the kind of force it took to break SIX ribs badly enough to cause internal bleeding.
Unfortunately not that much force is really required when you’re dealing with someone who is 67. The elderly are a lot more fragile, even if they are in great shape for their age. Which is why anyone without a brain disease knows to be gentle when assisting the elderly.
There is no reason to use this much force against an unarmed senior citizen other than to physically harm them.
Remember in the first Trump administration, when they were just practicing their cruelty, and they permanently disabled an old man for having the nerve to politely return a riot cops helmet that he had dropped? In response, the cop shoved the old guy, knocking him down, bashing his head, and destroying his life.
I will never forget watching that video, and as the old guy hit the pavement and laid there, a trickle of blood came out of his ear, and I knew he was seriously injured.
That was an accident, now they’re doing purposefully.
I hope there are good lawyers involved in this case we gotta start making serious dents in that $78 billion
budgetgrift.
I cannot WAIT for the hammer to fall. Nazis were not this bad to their own citizens. I read an article that said the Republicans are planning to escape to Venezuela if the mid terms go bad for them. These fucking Democrat pussy politicians better prosecute ICE and everyone involved in this.
Trump is literally trying to provoke confrontation were none is so he can have a weak ass justification to clamp down harder … just in time for mid terms.
He is a fucking traitor.
Nazis were not this bad to their own citizens.
Really? The relocation to ghettos, the camps, the beatings, and the gold stars/pink triangles were better treatment than this? On par, sure. But better?
Well … less than 1% of the population were targeted by the Nazi party. More along the lines of 500k people, and many of them left.
MAGA is going after 30-35% of the population … assuming ICE is screening by skin color (which they are).
Its simple numbers. MAGA is going to be way worse than the Nazi party once they get fully ramped up.
False Flag Trump is at it again. Epsteining the country.

Fyi, I would not have dared to make this Lemmy account if I weren’t a US Citizen, but even so, I still wonder when gestapo comes to my door, given how things are going.
If my account ever becomes inactive, either I forgot the password, or I’m in Gitmo.
Excercising (because running = crime)
Dude wasn’t even running. He was in his car just trying to go home after running. Turned onto his street and got pulled out of his car and assaulted.
If you end up in gitmo, just remember to submit a pull request for your release.
For those who only know about Chicago from the news:
Old Irving Park is a nice, mostly residential historic neighborhood on the northwest side. It’s not the nicest or fanciest (those are more toward the lake) but it’s definitely on the upper end. It’s a neighborhood someone in a high rise might move to when you have a family.
Bonus fact: Chicagoans mostly stick to normal pizza. Deep dish is for tourists.
Deep dish is delicious, but it’s also expensive. One of the great things about pizza is that it’s supposed to be cheap.
It’s expensive, hard to eat, and heavy. Thin crust keeps the party going, deep dish makes you sleepy.
Real “Chicago pizza” is tavern-style thin crust, yum.
yeah but one slice puts you away. One stuffed pizza would feed my wife and I for days so the expense was not bad. Ugh so annoyed perrys closed down.
Yep, we got one once, and it lasted about a week. Delicious, but we got pretty sick of it after a couple of days.
my wife and I (this is very much majority I) could finish it off in half a week. I was sick of it like thanksgiving. Did not want to necessarily get another real soon but liked it to the last bite. I will say if they have multiple sizes you generally want to have the smallest one.
Thanksgiving is a good analogy. Too much of a good thing.
speak for yourself. deep dish is awesome. but yeah I would live in old irving in heartbeat and a friend of mine used to live in the area.
I like deep dish, based on your other reply in this chain I think we’re on the same page! I guess I was a little hyperbolic there to say it’s “for tourists”
I meant Chicagoans aren’t consuming it the way New York style pizza is consumed in New York…which is apparently a popular misconception about Chicago. We default to thin crust like normal people lol
oh yeah. could not eat it every night but oh boy ordering it is a special occasion. This place perrys that closed down near us had a great one and at times we got it almost once a month but yeah im thinking even at the height maybe 6 times a year and have not had it for years. Part of that though is I just have not found a new one I love. well that and we currently have to pinch every penny and are not eating out at all.
I think deep dish is really only “good” when it’s straight out of the oven and it’s been years since I’ve ordered pizza that wasn’t delivered
I actually found it held up in the fridge well and heated up well as long as you take into account its dense nature. It actually did not surprise me given its practically a block of cheese.
Ah really? I’ve never gotten it to be hot all the way through without burning the crust. Then again, it’s even more rare that I have any left over since I’m not ordering it lol
Wrap it in foil. Or at least foil underneath, then fold it over the crust.
What worked for me is the microwave despite it being not recommended desite most people using it anyway. I cooked it using defrost which I actually do with a lot of foods that benefit from a slow cook. Just not good to do with anything that will dry out although sometimes adding a little water will do but like meat its not good to do slow unless something can seal in the juices.
Yeah, it’s a bit much, and unwieldy, grabbing a slice of deep dish from the counter by the subway you just exited because you want a snack.
ICEIS
So. Where are the Bikers? Seriously. What the fuck happened to bikers looking after their community?
They went maga i guess ?
that’s a lot of taxpayer money going to this guy’s medical expenses and compensation for suffering
Oh you sweet summer child.
As if that claim for damages won’t be denied .
Pepper spray is cheap and effective folks. I’d advise protecting yourself out there.

All the Italian plumbers out there know exactly where Greg Bovino is going to be at 5:45pm.
Just sayin’.
Trump is going to get his armed resistance one way or another I guess.
Evil
