    Apparently there is an ongoing protest/ riot outside of the Chicago ICE facility. Protestors have shouted kill ICE, blocked/impeded vehicles, and a firearm was taken from one of the protestors. Not good if it escalates.

    Their common sense. I know it’s hard for the MAGA mods to understand, but the majority of Americans are offended by what they represent…

    Do you believe what you write? That being offended justifies riots, shouting Kill ICE(especially right in the heels of what happened in Dallas), interfering and impeding ICE vehicles? Because you are offended?

    That being offended justifies disobedience, yes. To be offended to justify violence, no. Words aren’t actions.

    Wasn’t it the left claiming words were in fact violence not too long ago?
    And this answers a lot. Your position is that if you are offended you are justified to break the law, show civil disobedience. The problem is that anyone can be offended by anything at anytime. If that’s truly the standard to justify such action then anarchy should be your end goal.

    When are we going to stop referring to them as protestors and start calling them what they are Terrorists?

    Wasn’t it the right that attacked our Capitol.

    I am not a pawn for those that attacked our Democracy and Capitol; you are! That says a lot more about you than it says about me…

    Wasn't it someone from the left who assassinated Charlie Kirk?

    Wasn't it someone from the left who shot up the ICE facility in Dallas an killed an innocent illegal immigrant?

    Wasn’t it? There has been a debate on that; and thankfully, for the country, that murder is alive. His motivations will be come clear soon.

    You, a MAGA mod, are seriously comparing an unknown and a singular fool, to the attack on our Capitol. You should be ashamed…

    Are you saying the shooter at the ICE facility was not motivated to attack ICE officers?

    Also, I am not a "maga mod". Good try but I did not vote for Trump in the primaries, I supported Nikki Halley. I did vote AGAINST Harris in the general election.

    I never suggested that, did I?

    Of course you voted against Harris; you’re MAGA. Like every other Mod on this forum. The only democratic leaning Mod and recently appointed balanced Mod; left this forum…

    Thank you. I’m not maga and I didn’t condone nor was I at the attack on J6. Since you clearly have no answers or actual arguments to my questions and statements above (except to attack with straw men) I will just assume that you are in fact ok with anyone that is offended by anything at anytime anywhere becoming law breaking rioters and (in your eyes) it is justified.
    Granted, one could make the argument that the loons at the capital in J6 were offended and therefore justified.

    That’s a new one…if you voted against Harris you’re MAGA. Guess you didn’t realize just how bad Harris was.

    That isn’t clear at all actually.

    Kirk shooter was raised in a MAGA household for crying out loud. Maybe it was some weird repressed gayness thing? Even if so, seems like a strange reach to call that a “left wing attack” based only on this as his motive.

    The ICE shooter was described by friends as a Libertarian edge lord or not into politics. He left behind “anti-ice” messaging which of course indicates possible left wing motive, but then he ONLY shot immigrants (including 1 running away)??? Maybe he was the worst shot ever, but something isn’t adding up with that!

    In both cases you have young white men who seemed more into video games who did not even have strongly developed political opinions, other than their targeted acts of violence. In reality, as almost always, what you have is the school shooter profile. Disaffected young white male who has been desensitized to extreme violence, or even seeks out on the internet how to copycat previous shootings (the “anti-ice” shooter researched the Kirk shooting).

    These folks rioting at ICE facilities really need some time in self-reflection ..... and a lot of guidance from someone like Charlie Kirk.

    It is somewhere between humorous and pathetic how hard the left is trying to separate these shooters from their “team”. “We don’t know any thing yet”… well except for Jimmy Kimmel…
    I’m sure they will be claiming these rioters are actually Candace Owens followers that are just mad that the detainees haven’t been deported yet.
    Has any left leaning poster denounced the actions of these rioters yet? Denounced them shouting Kill Ice?

    The left has truly become an extremely violent faction. I believe these people engaging in anti-ICE riots should be considered domestic terrorists ….. unless the rioters is an illegal ….. and those should be sent to Guantanamo.
