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.
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.
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.
What can be done with that foul smelling fart spray?
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
And you can buy clay shot that disintegrates when it hits a hard surface
Interesting, but i counter with

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
