Did they say to Penske, "renting this for raids?" Not trying to be snide, but it's entirely possible that Penske had no clue what the rental was for.

Happened in LA just days after a federal Judge struck down their use of warrantless arrests. And they continued at a Home Depot in Los Angeles a couple days after.

Then they should denounce them. Loudly. Otherwise it's compliance and they're part of the problem.
I don't disagree with you one bit. Hopefully they do. Just trying to be realistic.
They did.

Edit to add: they didn't say "omg we don't approve of this for politics/ethics" they said "omg that's not safe and you're not allowed to use our trucks that was". I get that the first would be more satisfying to hear, but the second is a legalistic reason to refuse to rent to them again.
Woof. Not the best response.
As a business, it's a good response. They denounce it without talking a side.
Personally, I would take more action, but I'm not a business.
imagine if picking a side in illegally kidnapping people off the street is seen as controversial lol
wtf is happening america
They did. They said it was illegal in a statement.
Do you have a plan to undo the damage you did by jumping on this bandwagon?

It's a rental truck company. How the hell would they know? Some guy named Nathan rents a truck and says he'll have it back on Tuesday. They don't ask, "Will you be commiting treason with our vehicle today?"
Timothy McVeigh rented a Ryder truck. Does that make ~~them~~ Ryder terrorists?
Yes. This is literally adopted directly from Neo Nazi playbooks. Nazis like using box trucks to transport mass groups of people for two reasons: they're everywhere, and they're opaque.
Once you load up in this, nobody outside can tell how many of you there are, what you're carrying or kitted for, and they can't ID you from the outside. When you leave, it's pretty easy to blend away into traffic, or dump the truck out in some residential neighborhood and scatter away without anyone knowing how many people were in the truck to begin with. You also have no way of knowing what else they're carrying in the back - weapons? People? Explosives?
The other reason Nazis like using these is it now immediately sets you on edge if you see a moving truck anywhere near a demonstration, or parade, or whatever. The fear is the point - we might not be THAT truck, but we might be the next, or the one after that, etc.
Nothing in your comment puts the blame on a rental truck company that respects the privacy of its customers.
I think what happened was they confused the word “they” to mean the ICE agents and not the Ryder truck company.
It makes more sense in the context 🤷♂️
I think you misunderstood my question, so I edited it.
So if you see rental truck at a protest, a good idea would be to use a bike lock to lock it shut.
This could be the basis of a really good comedy sketch
Boycott a company for doing business with a random white guy?
I could go rent a truck right now. I'm not in a domestic terror group but the guy renting me the truck doesn't know that.
Penske has put out a statement calling this illegal.
Are you prepared to undo the damage you've done with this post, now that you know it was wrong?

Worth noting, Patriot Front had a huge leak of data in 2022 (400GB).

God those cringe little trashcan lids with ‘patriot front’ on it. I hate it.
*embarrassing, the word is embarrassing.
Yeah but those masks look like they'll hold pepper spray real well
I'm just glad no one runs up to one of these Nazis fuck trucks and puts on an extra secure padlock while it's full of Nazis. Wouldn't want the Nazis to get stressed or overheated in metal box with no AC while they are clothed head to toe.
No no no no no
This is not wise and I urge you not to take the above advice.
You want the Abus 83CS/55, or, if you're made of money, the Assa Abloy Enforcer 342. Jesus, folks, you can drill through that cheap-ass padlock in like 30 seconds. At least get a better shackle guard and a protected keyway. Definitely something you can't open with a hammer
Lock picking lawyer here
Is a protected keyway a feature that keeps someone from shoving sand or other crap down a keyhole?
No, it just makes it harder to drill out the key hole. Here's an example from American Padlock.
American does pretty decent padlocks, Abus and Assa do them better

Looks like some fascists who need to be ticketed for violating seat belt law. And then totally removed from society.
"It's the same picture."
Some of those that work forces
Ever watched the watchmen series? Always reminds me of it when i see pictures of those masked cowards.
Corpo's are merely an extension of the state within catch where the grifter gets to keep the profit
I'm sorry I thought I was staying up to date, but, who the fuck is the patriot front?
A white supremisist terrorist group that backs Trump. He is hiring people from white nationalist terrorist groups at ICE. This is comparable to what Hitler did with the SA and SS

what, they suddenly can't afford military equipment anymore?
I've seen ukranian drones fit through APC door hatches smaller than that
those drones are pretty cheap too I heard
This is unfortunately very standard through North America. The Montreal police, the SPVM, did the same during student protests in 2012.
they need to put something in the truck that disables or locks it up so it cant be driven remotely
Roger Penske donated gobs of money to the regime. Penske is a traitor to the United States.
