Oh, you think documents will save you. Oh no...

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 129 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Well, running will

Hit that cardio people. You don't have to outrun a bear, just an out of shape racist

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 31 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Bears don't tend to have guns and a propensity to shoot unarmed people in the back.

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 7 hours ago

They do have the right to bear arms

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 4 hours ago

Don't worry, they seem to exclusively shoot people by accident

So no zig zags, just get the fuck around a corner and get out of there

[–] ILoveUnions@lemmy.world -3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Though, they do not appear to have started using the guns to actually shoot people yet

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 14 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I'd rather take my chances with the bear.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 13 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Bears can run like 30 mph for short bursts

Humans can do 6-12 mph. 3mph is about casual walking speed

Ice officers can do 5-10 mph, mostly on the lower end

I'm sorry, but you might be bad at math. This isn't a trust exercise

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 11 hours ago

i thought it was 35mph. hippos can also run faster than humans

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yes a bear and ICE will both chase you if you run from it. The bear is less likely to chase, but garunteed to catch you. They are faster and can even climb better.

ICE will chase you, but see previous comments.

I think I'd rather be mauled by a bear than mauled by ICE

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 85 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Hilarious, but also, ICE doesn't give a fuck if you're legal. They've already 'accidentally' deported citizens.

Maybe to give someone more at risk a better chance of getting away, but not just for the funsies. Stay safe out there in these trying times.

[–] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 69 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

When people are being disappeared for nothing but the color of their skin, no way would I fuck with them just for funsies. It’s all fun and games until you end up hogtied, and in the back of a truck by cowards with masks, with no due process at all.

I know someone who is Indian, 3rd generation in the US, full American citizenship, and she was detained by ICE at the border coming in from Canada with no justification whatsoever.

They made her call her employer (a government contractor) to verify her employment.

I'm hoping things might start turning. The October 18 protest and the bloodbath in yesterday's election shows that majority of Americans are pissed.

I think it may some Republicans start thinking if their "trump train" is going in the right direction.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 13 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

If they're likely on their way out of power next election anyways, why not just accelerate and aim to not even pretend to have a fair election?

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

Trump won't, but some politicians are trying to distance themselves. For example Greene. That doesn't mean she now is trustworthy (quite the opposite) but it will be hindrance to him.

This also is signal to those that are doing their bidding like ICE that they might be on the losing side and be thrown under the bus.

Same with service members.

They need other people to do their bidding.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

And we say again: Please see the previous election.

These people are doing all they can already to change votes. Those in power are ruthless, but they’re scared of getting caught (they just generally suggest their supporters should “do something”)

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 8 hours ago

When fascists start losing, they tend to respond with more cruelty. It's the only way they know how to maintain power. They also know they're turbo fucked if they lose power.

In the long run, this can't work, but they'll do lots of damage trying.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 12 hours ago

Oh it is going in the right direction alright, it is just picking up speed.

They may have slowly realized that the stations it is passing just keeps getting worse.....

You’re running because you’re part of it

collapsed inline media

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 4 hours ago

I love that Andor portrayed fascist regimes towards ordinary citizens in this way.

Because this is reality for people that don't look a certain way in the US

[–] hotdogcharmer@lemmy.zip 17 points 11 hours ago

ICE agents can't read and don't care anyway - they've kidnapped plenty of people who are not in the US "illegally"

[–] Helix8o8@lemy.lol 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Gotta pop their tire and put a fish in the glove box first. Had someone do that to my sister in highschool.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Don’t do this - it’s loud! Also do not put a nail inside of a matchbox-like piece of cardboard to keep it upright, and drop it in front of the tire, because that will also be loud when it goes off, and make the agent very embarrassed!

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago

Tell me you've never had a nail in a tire without telling me you've never had a nail in a tire.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago

Don't. They might just shoot you, and ask questions later, if ever.

[–] KelvarCherry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

People here are really saying "don't" like ICE isn't going to be terrorizing your town anyways...

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 9 points 5 hours ago

Well if you're ok with being shot go ahead
