  1. Executing citizens in public and in broad daylight might just undermine one’s confidence a bit. Who’s confident about anything when you’re afraid to go out because masked men are roaming the streets with James Bond’s license to kill. How expensive are eggs when the price might be your life. Remember when drive by shootings were worrying. They pale in comparison to a government full scale invasion. If any of the geniuses in charge had half a brain they’d ditch ICE’s urban warfare uniform and go for something out of Dirty Harry’s closet. If your mission is to sneak up and grab people then dress the part or maybe that’s not the mission.

    1. I don’t want to come down too squarely on this because plainly what’s happening in America is a nightmare, but as I mentioned in a comment on the Insurrection Act article, we don’t do ourselves any favors in the information wars department by suggesting ICE is just walking up to random people on their way into Whole Foods and shooting them in the back of the head. Nobody’s going to shoot you just for going to get eggs. (“Whatcha doin’?” “Oh, you know, just gettin’ some eggs. Thought maybe I’d try this new Chobani flavor too it looks goo–” BOOM! “Wrong answer, now you’re dead.”) The problem with that is it gives people like Stephen Miller an excuse to say the left isn’t engaging with reality, but instead positing strawmen.

        1. I actually don’t think his comment was over the top, per se, I just think that when the unexaggerated truth is so clearly on your side — as it is here for Democrats — you let that truth speak for itself without embellishing it.

  2. H-Man, if you bring in the troops and play hard ball and your troops are not necessarily the best trained troops, you troops in chasing the chicken will make mistakes. ICE is nothing more than a good bird dog that has developed a taste for chicken and will do anything to please the guy providing the chickens. Credit: Ron White. So now the guy with the chickens, is pulling back on the bird dog — “don’t kill the chicken”.
