Protest/riot out side of Chicago Ice facility

So, did antifa try to destroy a bus used to support rapper ICE Cube's 2025 tour thinking it was a vehicle operated by the IS ICE department?

Ice Cube Reacts to Bus Being Firebombed

Ice Cube has spoken out on social media following a fire that damaged his crew’s bus last week in Portland, Oregon, during a stop on his Truth to Power tour.

Initial reports allege that the attack was instigated by protesters who mistakenly identified the vehicle—due to its prominent “ICE” letters—as belonging to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. According to The Times of India newspaper, a group believed to be associated with Antifa threw incendiary devices at the bus, causing significant exterior damage but not causing any injuries.

The firebombing has raised concerns about protest violence, mistaken identity and public safety at large concert events. The incident, reportedly motivated by a misunderstanding involving a bus’ “ICE” lettering, highlights the risks facing touring artists and their crews amid a polarized American social climate. Law enforcement is actively investigating, while Ice Cube’s response emphasizes composure and resilience in the face of property damage and mistaken protest targeting. No injuries were reported, but the event has sparked debate over protest tactics and the safety of high-profile performers.

On September 22, the charter bus linked to Ice Cube—whose real name is O’Shea Jackson Sr.—was set on fire in downtown Portland. Portland Fire & Rescue confirmed to The Oregonian that crews responded to a blaze on the bus’ front passenger tire, extinguishing it without injury to anyone or damage to musical equipment.

 

So now possessing guns is violence? Or just when certain people have guns?

 

Being shot at by them is usually an indicator of violence. Displaying or brandishing them at a protest is usually an indicator of a potential threat. Pointing a weapon or painting them with the muzzle is also a good indicator of a threat. Having a gun in your car no one knows about isn’t a threat. Walking around carrying a gun isn’t a threat. Learn the difference instead of the persistent theatrics of mental gymnastics. If you know the difference, youre just…nevermind.

 

So open carry is only a threat if you are protesting government actions, huh? Interesting. So as long as I don't disagree with the government, I can open carry, but the second that I do around other people that do as well, it is a threat. Talk about mental gymnastics.

 

So the person with the firearm shouted "kill ICE?" Do we have evidence of that? Or is this a case of wetting panties based upon somebody having a firearm visible?

 

Okay, so it is just wetting panties because somebody saw a firearm? I am just pointing out the obvious hypocrisy. Heck, I could continue: a fair amount of the pro-gun political right like to claim that the reason the government can't engage in gun control is that guns are intended to stop government tyranny by essentially being a threat of violence against the government, but when somebody perceives government tyranny, they are wrong to have a gun (not even use it), for some reason.

 

Your discussion with mdg sort of reminds me of Charley Kirk talking with some misinformed child at some college tour stop. Keep up the good work Charley.

 

Interesting. Did Kirk often check out when his hypocrisy was noticed too? I'd buy that.

 

Do you not know the difference between open carry and displaying/brandishing/pointing a weapon at someone? Obviously not. Does common sense elude you? Painfully obvious. Next time I’ll use a crayon to explain it to you.

Try this, go to a protest, hell not even a protest. Though that’s not likely but point a gun, display your gun out of the holster or brandish it by waving it around at an officer or somebody else carrying and you can let us know how it goes.

 

Democrat ran cities are literally trying to work for Antifa etc..

 

J6 playbook

 

Do you not understand the difference between pointing a gun at someone and simply having it? Pointing a gun at someone is a specific crime. One, I should note, that nobody that I can find was charged with in regards to recent protests in either Chicago or Portland. Even the DHS statement says the woman they shot at was "armed" but said nothing about pointing the weapon or any of the other stuff you just invented. Why do you need to invent things for your argument? Is it because your argument is so weak that you have to invent facts? Maybe, instead of weak insults, you could try to read the charging documents or otherwise learn the facts of the case with a vaguely critical eye.

 

Democrats think Antifa should be able to commit assault and Battery etc with no repercussions. They literally have their police forces where they will arrest someone filming Antifa claiming they are causing the disturbance there. It's clown world 100% why they are destroying buildings and vehicles etc. Antifa needs to be crushed and the crooks financing their actions charged.

 

Wow, how many buildings have been destroyed in these protests?

 

Yep luckily they haven't blown the buildings up yet and have just threw firebombs and fired rounds at the facilities around the country.
