After this happened I took my dog for a walk around lake nokomis. At one point about 15 shitty unmarked SUVs came ripping by blaring their sirens. All cars had to slam the cars onto the side to let them pass. After a hot ticket people started honking their horns and flipping them off.

About an hour later i got a message from my little sister she was with a group who was tear gassed.

ICE are fucking terrorists. You know these piece of shit backwoods goons train on their little al qaeda like pull up bars in the backwoods of their parents house.

Fuck them and anyone who supports them. And fuck those that cheer this murder on and shame the victim.

This country fucking sucks.

The response by many to the event is simply abhorrent, thankfully my office was totally silent on the matter today but yeah, these are the worst people.

I can't say I condone this particular visceral response, human life and all but if she were driving Stephen Miller home from a night of evil mongering and missed the curve driving straight off a very large cliff... Idunno, would probably be a net positive in the long run so what do I know.

I saw something on Reddit today and it struck a nerve with the current, constant mind fuck of events and incidents going on.

"Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join with you in resisting somehow. You don't want to act, or even talk, alone; you don't want to 'go out of your way' to make trouble. Why not?--Well, you are not in the habit of doing it. And is not just fear, fear of standing alone, that restrains you; it is also genuine uncertainty.

...

But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That's the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked-if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in '43 had come immediately after the 'German Firm' stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in '33. But of course this isn't the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step A is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D. "

But people who never go outside like Burt are like fuck this everyone is too woke and I'm just sitting around getting more resentful and inept so let's burn it to the ground because I saw a meme on twitter. Same with Bammer, just a dumb guy with a totally fortunate life who probably had his phone bill go up one day and then saw a fake story about a drag show with all black guys in it and was like fuck this I'm not taking this shit anymore.
