      Nah, I imagine bank robbers as classy. These thugs look like the “gang members” they’re so desperately scared of. They look like they’re hiding weapons in their pockets to cause public terror. They look like they’re about to jump me for being in their territory and mug me of all my belongings. They make me feel like I should avoid walking down whatever street they’re holding up.

      These are straight up criminals, looking like they’re about to commit crime.

    Just being honest. If someone in mask comes to my car, I’m pulling away. If you are caught by a wheel, then it’s on you. Identify who you are.

    It’s a really awkward time for a white male to be driving an unmarked van right now. Sympathy to all my van life homies

      they are terrorists, any common sense judicial system would consider it legal to shoot them in self defense

    can’t wait for them to be gunned down in self defense.

    it will be so strange, they will be gunned down in the middle of a busy street with countless passerbys, but somehow there will be no witnesses

    Send this to your MAGA relatives with the caption “these guys good or bad?” and no additional context.

    I am curious to see how many incidentscome out where there are of ACTUAL kidnappings that happen because some geniuses get the idea to just go grab some people and throw them in a van while dressing up like these ICE idiots.

    You want to give gangs a free pass to grab random people or rivals off the street? Make your “official govt activity” look like gang activity.

      It may already be happening in immigrant communities. What are their families going to do - report it to the cops?

    If you saw this on the street wouldn’t you call the cops? I fucking would. From somewhere on the far side of the van, well out of their line of sight.

    Not even remotely hyperbolic here, I 100% would assume they’re randos gang members or doing criminality attempting to kidnap then murder me, and I’d fight back accordingly. Not even a badge on a neck chain or belt clip jfc covered head to toe

    Just the same as if a mugging becomes “get into the van” no you fucking shouldn’t because their goals are now no longer your property, but now your life

    It would be a real shame if people started dousing these fascist fucks with bright red hair dye so that they can be identified after they remove their fucking fash masks.
