    Before anyone says that the truck should not have been doing that, ask yourself… Could ICE have just backed up and waited for something to happen that could justify opening fire?

      October 23, 1983, two truck bombs killed 307, US/French servicemembers and civilians in Beirut.

      Also was Coast Guard who opened fire, not ICE.

          It happened to a US military base in a foreign nation, which, for all intents and purposes, is US soil. This truck was backing it’s way onto a US base, refused to comply with orders. It got EOF’d. I appreciate everyone wanting to hate ICE, I think they’re a bunch of bitches, but unless someone’s has some legit proof this is some sort of false flag or anything, this is pretty SOP.

      It’s possible they thought the truck was full of explosives, and was trying to blow up the bridge to the Coast Guard island.
