Antifa used to unmask neo-Nazis, now it's exposing ICE: 'Predators don't get anonymity'

[mysteryowl]

Last week a photographer for the Minneapolis Star Tribune filmed a border patrol agent approach a protester, lying prone in the street, and aim a canister of pepper spray at his eyes. The protester was already detained, three other agents pressing his body into the pavement, but the agent can nevertheless be seen spraying the orange chemical irritant, which causes excruciating pain, at point-blank range.

The agent probably thought he would enjoy anonymity for this bit of brutality. The federal police terrorizing Minneapolis remain largely nameless as they dole out horrifying – and in two cases, fatal – violence against anyone opposing Operation Metro Surge.

But within two hours of the Star Tribune posting the footage to social media, a group called Pacific Antifascist Research Collective claimed to have identified him.

They are using special technology to remove their masks!
Good work!

3. What is a terrorist? A poem by Henry Gibson.

A terrorist carries deadly weapons with the intent of mayhem.
A terrorist hides his identity.
A terrorist wears garb that belies his intent, for example, cosplay law enforcement.
— Remember the phony cops at the Saint Valentine’s Day massacre?
— They were ice-cold-blooded murderers.
A terrorist drives unmarked vehicles.
A terrorist records his own misdeeds.
A terrorist generally is silent.
A terrorist intentionally defies laws.
A terrorist is part of a secret cadre, hidden from disclosure.
A terrorist kills.

On Edit: this quote from the Guardian article.

Riley, the antifascist, has a message for agents like Gramlin: you might feel invincible now, but the people are turning against you, and the people will win.

“For those of you already in ICE and CBP, take your retirement while you still can,” Riley said. “Get out before the funding cuts, before the lawsuits, the criminal trials. Do not volunteer for these assignments.

“Think about your future,” they continued. “Think about your family’s future. Forever is a long time. The people will not forget.”

P.S. It's summer in Argentina right now for nazi exiles.



Und das Bier ist wunderbar.

Make Argentina Great Again.
ICE, GTFO of the United States.

Then again, ground troops needed to invade Iran. It's your destiny!

7. I am clarifying above.

Argentina for nazi exiles. Includes Jabba the orange Hutt unless mideast fans want him.

GREAT golf courses in Argentina, to buy with our absconded tax dollars.

Right you are.

6. From the article

"There is a long, proud American tradition of unmasking fascists. Black activists and investigative journalists such as Ida B Wells and Walter White labored for decades, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, to strip the white lynch mobs terrorizing the south of their anonymity, identifying individual executioners and demanding they face justice. In 1924, the mayor of Buffalo, New York, enlisted a spy to go undercover into the city’s large Ku Klux Klan chapter, eventually obtaining a list of members and putting it on display downtown so Buffalonians could learn which of their neighbors hid behind white hoods at night to burn crosses"

This is nothing newl. We just have better tools now!

9. The Tribunals will know who they are.

Plus, they'll rat each other out faster than they can say "I was just following orders".

10. We need a strong fearless AG, and not a Garland.

11. Family Members Know Them

The photo of that CBP agent shooting Pretti point-blank in the back while he is on his knees shows what appears to be a wedding ring on the agent's finger. Just imagine being the wife of such a goon who would be willing to commit such a cold-blooded act. She must know what he did and what he is willing to do for his paycheck. Perhaps her skin will crawl when he touches her with his murderous hands. Or when he gives her a kiss before he goes off to work. And she also must know that her life will never be the same after this, even if she is in denial and chooses to remain married to him. But she might even agree with his career path and ideologies totally in support of his beliefs about being on god's side in this holy war against The Other. So acceptance of such goons into our lives makes us all complicit in their criminal behavior when all decent people must shun and denounce them.

12. Democratic cities must cancel or non-renew contracts with Safariland

The company selling pepper spray canisters to ICE and CBP. They are obviously using it contrary to humane practice and probably to manufacturer specs.

Safariland sells a wide variety of police equipment to cities all over the country. Any city that is involved in a contract with Safariland is using our tax money to fund ICE/CBP torture of civilians using these pain-compliance chemical agents.

Mayors of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles! Do you have contracts for police equipment with Safariland Group LLC? Cancel them!
