“You know, there’s many different factors that go into something like that,” Bovino said. “It would be agent experience, intelligence that indicates there’s illegal aliens in a particular place or location.

“Then, obviously, the particular characteristics of an individual, how they look. How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said to the reporter, a tall, middle-aged man of Anglo descent.

Remember when this was more of a joke.

It was satire, but it’s always been true. That’s why the Green Book ~~had~~ has to exist.

But Larry Goone, 59, saw the immigration officers and protesters differently. He was riding an electric fat-tire bike to the lakeshore when he came across them.

“I saw these [officers] being completely heckled on the river and I just yelled out to them, ‘Hey, I appreciate what you’re doing,’ because most of Chicago does want this,” said Goone, a suburbanite who works in casino marketing. “These people just are doing their jobs.”

Goone praised the officers for going after “illegals for coming here illegally.”

What did Goone think of the protesters?

“This here is organized by George Soros and antifa, and I wouldn’t doubt that half are being paid to protest,” Goone speculated without any evidence. “I don’t understand what they’re doing.”

Casino marketing is the career you choose when you can't decide which path to reject as the lesser evil. Checks out that he's a warped, conspiracy-spouting shithead. I'd wager that there's a lot he doesn't understand.

I love the guy from the suburbs confidently saying “most of Chicago does want this.” Classic.

Every sentence revealing more about Larry Goone's state of being made my eyebrows climb higher towards my hairline.

Truly you cannot make this shit up anymore, this would be a caricature of an adult in any other century.

I guarantee he uses AI for everything

[–] WilhelmStroker@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago

His last name checks out.

Life imitates art.
For most writers a good day is when life and the people they meet allow them to channel Truman Capote. Yesterday, those writers got to channel Douglas Adam’s without even trying.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Well at least his name is fitting. He is 100% a goone

[–] natecox@programming.dev 74 points 18 hours ago

He exhibited articulable facts that made us take a look…

If they’re articulable then articulate them, you fascist piece of shit.

[–] AmericanEconomicThinkTank@lemmy.world 38 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Ah. So business as usual then I take it.

It's a lot more explicit than it was.

Used to be they'd pretend to have some sort of race-neutral reason. They've stopped doing that.

Scotus said it's okay so ..

I like how the asshole who starts sprinting at him first almost faceplants coming off the curb.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 13 points 18 hours ago

You better watch it with that talk. I don’t like the way you look.

Meanwhile, an observer began recording the interaction. Bovino approached the observer and questioned his citizenship status.

More American than you, you nazi trash.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 26 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Shoot the fascists. You guys were good at that some decades ago.

[–] discosnails@lemmy.wtf 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

We're always a bit late to the party though.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 5 points 14 hours ago

Who isn't. Life sucks often and getting my ass up in my free time is extra hard. It is however something that needs to be done. So id advise everyone to search for allies irl.

This is what I am afraid of if they are in all blue cities by the midterms in the day of election they in theory can hold anyone they want.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I love that this image has a black guy standing in the mix who should be wondering whether he is supposed to be arresting people that don't look like him as stated, or if the racism is pointed at a particular ethnicity.

"They're not targeting me" (right now/overtly/yet).
