ICE is not using nerve gas as a crowd control agent for fucks sake. Nobody uses nerve gas as a crowd control agent.

The last verified use of a nerve *agent* was in fucking Syria which most of these grifter tankies ignored.

Also it's nerve agent NOT nerve gas.

Also I'm blocking this idiot.

Worth noting that he deployed tear gas more times in five minutes than the entire NYPD has deployed in decades.
Just hours after Renee Good was shot, one member of Customs and Border Patrol’s elite tactical team on an adjacent street fired a less-lethal weapon five times in less than five minutes, with four shots aimed at the faces of protestors. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

If you arrest someone and their phone goes missing and shows up in a vending machine, most police departments would immediately open up a IAB investigation

The background art in this is from a Boy Scout Liberty Bonds poster from WW1.

As an Eagle Scout, and as an American, I can confidently say this type of shit goes against everything I learned in Scouting and as an American.

Historical precedent is the Earps shooting a bunch of guys in town for open carrying in defiance of town law.
9th Cir., 2-1, holds that open carry is protected by the Second Amendment even where a state allows concealed carry, strikes California's law banning urban open carry and its licensing law for open carry in rural counties.
