ICE Guard Drives Truck Into Jewish Protesters

Postby Torrocca » Wed Aug 14, 2019 10:36 pm

As if the world couldn't get topsy-turvy enough with its bullshit, an ICE security guard at the Wyatt Detention Center in Rhode Island drove his truck directly into a crowd of Jewish protesters protesting against the concentration camps. Luckily, all the victims of the attack were able to get out with just injuries.

Content Warning: Includes a video of people getting hit by a fucking truck, of course - no gore or bloodshed or anything else that'd run in violation of the PG-13 rule, luckily.

In addition, after a number of people were directly injured by getting hit by a truck, several more guards arrived and pepper-sprayed the crowd surrounding the truck, which included several of the people who were hit by it.

I think it'd go without saying here, but since NSG OP's are obligated to provide their opinion, it's frankly some sheer bullshit that peaceful protesters are on the receiving end of this much violence - violence which very easily could've escalated into death, in this case, had somebody been crushed by the truck. I guess that's the price to pay for standing up against blatant tyranny, though.

Thoughts, NSG?

EDIT 1: It appears some people were hospitalized by the attack.

EDIT 2: The account that's been being used to help organize these protests and has been posting live updates has recently stated five people were hospitalized because of the events of last night. ABC's Good Morning America - from the video shown in that link - is confirming the same.

EDIT 3: It seems some previous information was wrong: two people were hospitalized from being hit by the truck, one a 64-year-old man who suffered a broken leg and internal bleeding. The other three were hospitalized after being pepper-sprayed by responding ICE agents.

WTF?! That's attempted mass murder.

I agree that ICE is legitimate and that SJWs suck, however people should have freedom to be able to protest against any branch of the gov without this shit.

WTF?!


That's state tyranny for you. Lock people you don't like up into concentration camps and deprive them of their human rights, then commit as much violence as you reasonably* can against anyone who stands against that.

*Obviously any violence directed against peaceful protesters is unreasonable as hell.

Absolutely fucking wild, isn't it? At least we can be glad that nobody was killed, but who's to say we won't see more violence of this caliber or greater from ICE down the road?

Yeah, that's not good. The driver should be hauled in by police, and the rest of the staff should get psychological assessments and support to try to stop this happening again. Signs of a dangerous siege mentality developing - understandable given the rather vicious and personal nature of a lot of the criticism of workers, but very unhealthy consequences of that potentially for both staff and detainees.

Police sat by and did nothing, so it's highly unlikely there's going to be consequences for this attack.

Arrest the police for gross negligence in preventing a terrorist attack.

Or, better idea, deranged government agents who've taken the Trump pill shouldn't try running over peaceful protesters.

After having reviewed the footage, I am surprised that they didn beat up the driver on the spot in response to his move.

And yes its wild af.

I said it before, I'll say it again.

ICE is Gestapo in the making.

Americans must dismantle them before their powers increase. What you see now is ICE testing the waters.

It might be survival instinct. Pickup trucks are big and dangerous, humans are small and nimble. But more agile. So dodging it might be an advisable tactic.
