And like so many other demonstrations and “protests,” an opportunity for unimportant people to convince themselves that they matter in some way.

And get paid while doing it.

Bring in the troops we have had enough. With the extra Wimpy governor and mayor this will go on forever.I was never a fan of Richard J. Daley but he knew how to stop this shit.
When I was a kid the twin cities was a nice place to live.

Perfect weather for fire hoses

How about, NO I'm not with ICE, and I don't have to prove shit to you or anyone else!. Why are you hassling random innocent people just going about their business. Perhaps you should stop what you're doing, mind your own business and go do something more productive with your time. Now get away from me, I've got shit to do!

Once they decide what you are, there isn't any reasoning, just stay away from them, de-escalating is sometimes the right way, unless of course you are a good fighter..

Did you watch the video? I stand by my assessment! I have ZERO tolerance of these people since COVID...None! Stay away from them? They were approaching people that were minding their own business, seemingly for the fact that they were driving SUVs. They needed to be told to Fuck Off!

"Crafty anti-ICE protestors pour water outside Minneapolis ICE headquarters to cause agents to slip"

Video posted to X by right-wing influencer Nick Sortor shows the anti-ICE protesters allegedly pouring buckets of water on the driveway of the building in an attempt to disrupt the agents from making arrests.

Time to return the favor? Break out the hoses!

My "cartoon brain" keeps thinking about a cropduster airplane, dropping plain water on a crowd of miscreants at temps below freezing. "We'll see who's committed to the cause then, now won't we?!"

Your "cartoon brain" is what I call my "creative side that requires adult supervision"

Cartoon brain makes me think of the Far Side! Gary Larson!
His mind was warped, in a good way!

Maybe they spit in their food!

Hard to believe that Minneapolis is still in a state of insurrection! Bizarre country we live in where the half of the country that is in rebellion would swear that our leader is a fascist strong man. Every mouth breathing radical in every blue cesspool in this country is strengthened and encouraged by the continued rebellion.

Even though I live in Texas, I live close enough to Austin to be surrounded by tons of super liberals. Supposedly there is an ICE detention center in my city, never confirmed, but the people think it is so they constantly protest there and recently spray painted and vandalized all over the building. I don’t understand why they were not arrested. They also post pictures on Nextdoor of any type of vehicle with people sitting in it they possibly think are ICE and report the location. The last one was one of the local PD unmarked units but they were saying it was ICE. I am so sick of all these idiots. What do they want? Just let thousands more than there already are flood into Texas? Screw that. Then when there is crime they complain asking where the police are.

Attention and validation.
There's a term for that "need to feel important," but I can't remember it right now.

Though they're getting negative attention, it's still attention, and it feeds that desire for these dingdongs.

Maybe lower the level on one of those 10,000 lakes with a helicopter carrying a forest fire fighting water drop bivvy. A couple of well placed drops could make a lot of the ninnies miserable at least for a while.

These people do realize they have no constitutional right to protest don’t they?

I don’t know, but they seem to be getting away with it, free and clear.

Where's the line between free speech and protesting?

Then where's the line between protesting and blocking streets/burning shit down/obstructing police?

I believe that protesting falls under the first amendment, but a lot of what's going on I wouldn't say falls under "protesting".

^^ I'm pretty sure they don't have much actual knowledge of the US Constitution, and what they think they know, just isn't so!
