If’n we want to get fundamental , we know who shot who & still has 2 eyeballs. Just sayin’. If justice doesn’t serve us, perhaps the people shall determine the verdict for vermin passing as human. If we can doctor up a bill, float it through ice, pretend we gonna be head knockers, but b/c they didn’t really read fine print. Doozy of a munitions bill gets ice as it’s target. It can be done. But I’m leaning towards someone with more money & knowledge telling me it’s a great idea. Then that is the point where I say, great, you pay for it all. Then I end up floating somewhere in NJ. I live in the PNW. Any other ideas people?
Maybe I just need some more coffee this morning, but right now, Im just wondering what this gibberish word salad is supposed to actually mean…
I read an incredibly disturbing article about someone who was anti ice & ended up being offered a job. With ice. https://www.democracynow.org/2026/1/14/laura_jedeed_ice Holy Moly. Anyways. Yes. There is some gibberish mostly. Perhaps if we can read nuance and take that word salad, deconstruct. Then examine what we’re goin for. I’ll have another cup of java w/ya 😉
as bad as the blinding sounds, the shrapnel worries me more. i’m familiar with a kickass surgeon in phoenix who might be able to help, but i don’t know how to contact the injured.

Thanks. My SIL had an awful carotid injury and the folk at ucsf did amazing things to save her life before a clinic in Phoenix did too. Dad had a great brain surgeon at ucsf too. They may be able to get some of that shrapnel out safely.
DEATH TO ICE
Time to start firing back with some more lethal rounds
If this administration doesn’t succeed in overthrowing democracy, and we ever get legitimate leaders again, I wonder if we could get some kind of official recognition or honor given to the people who have been wounded or killed while standing up for their rights and the rights of everyone in the U.S.?
If things go how they historically have in the US likely not
My cynical take is in 20 years you’ll have a day of remembrance and in 80 years your grandchildren will have official apologies, unless this current administration ends doesn’t get thrown out within 5 years - then it will take even longer. My less cynical take is that these people aren’t losing their lives or ability to see because they want official recognition or honour, they want freedom because that’s the thing really matters. I do agree though, once the freedom (and rule of law) is back, these people definitely deserve some kind of official recognition or honour.
I hope so, and I hope these people and families get the reparations they deserve.
The reality is if you protest armed thugs, you really must wear PE. Protect your eyes, ears, elbows, knees. Ideally gas masks too.

Wear. Eye. Protection. Ballisitic goggles.
This nation needs some R&R — Reparations and Repercussions.

The article was mistaken, they refer to it as non-lethal rounds. Even DHS itself refers to them as less lethal. There is a difference between less lethal and non-lethal.
A point without distinction, mate. They fired a weapon at close range at that man. The state knows what potential these weapons have, which is why they use them.
A point without distinction, mate.
I mean, that really depends on where you are, doesn’t it? Some places make distinctions between non-lethal weapons and less-lethal weapons and some don’t. Pretty much any weapon can kill if used on someone’s head or other vital areas. Projectiles tend to fly faster the closer they are to what shot them.
I see the issue as either one of poor training (not trained to use the weapon) or poor training (trained to use the less-lethal weapon in a lethal manner) and I’m not sure which frightens me more right now. Probably the latter.
The entire law enforcement apparatus is well aware of the potential to maim or kill with their less-than lethal weapons. These motherfuckers pull out their pepper ball guns, bean bag guns, and then shoot people at point blank range, in hope of maiming.
Making a distinction between “less-than” and “non” lethal does not matter if the results are the same.
The only good pig is one that is roasting over the fire.
Hi I just wanted to pointed out that the girl in the green hair and the guy that was being dragged in Santa Ana were egging people on to take the building. I was there to protest until I realize that 2 factions were budding heads while one was peaceful the ones you see wanted this to happen. I feel bad for the people that were protesting peacefully with their families and children, but that small group was really asking for blood and they got it. No I don’t support any violence against the populist I did not serve my country for this to happen and fuck ICE and DHS.
OCDSA was not happy about that group trying to instigate fights and egging folks to attack the building. That girl in the green/blue hair has done this multiple times from the times I’ve gone to protest in Santa Ana.
Edit: lol I’m being downvoted as an actual witness of the protest.
Do you have any footage of that confrontation from your perspective by any chance? Would be interesting to see.
No, I tend not to take any electronics when I protest. I can tell you that we marched from the feds building around the block while there were like 6 kids in those mini motorcycles/bikes. No feds were out until like after 8 since that was around the time I left. People were pretty much asking them to leave the protestors alone since everybody was on the street. Btw the street were the fed building is was blocked off before the protest was started.
So we had room and we were close to the building but the person with blueish hair with the guy wanted them to step on government property and kept egging them on. She’s been there before a different protest but she wasn’t being reckless like she was on Friday night.
Edit: also while we were marching they stayed behind.
“Stepping on government property” is “asking for blood”?
Stop defending the ones who actually committed violence.
