Great re-use of this comic.
Going by recent history?
Probably for not nazi-ing hard enough.
I dunno, ICE is giving a lot of motivate for people to target them.
Yeah. It really doesn't have to be political brain rot anymore.
Maybe it's not in this case...we'll see. But we're going to have cases of complete normies going "nothing left to lose" after their loved ones or friends are taken/killed by ICE.
Imagine finding out your partner/kids were taken from their job/school. You can't. I can't. There is no law or order that matters to people when the "law and order" are the ones doing it.
And at some point, hopefully, we all realize that those people are the sane ones. The people standing by and watching it happen well...
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
Right? Remember when "because they were fucking Nazis" would have been the presumed motive?
Federal agents returned fire at the man, who had an assault rifle
No he didn't. Unless he robbed an army base, he probably had a regular old AR15
If you're last name is "Rodriguez" and you are still working for Border Patrol, you're a traitor.
If you're ~~last name is "Rodriguez" and you are still~~ working for Border Patrol, you're a traitor.
Oh man, you'd be surprised how many Latino white supremacists Nazis there are out there.
I'm Mexican. I shit you not, I've seen a very brown Nazi sporting a bright red t-shirt with a black swaztika and a shit-eating grin while strutting downtown in Guadalajara. I've never wanted to kick someone in the teeth so bad in my life.
There are a few random internet people who just live in my head for no reason. Back in like 2016 there was a guy on reddit who would sign all his posts with: Latinos for Trump. I was like: all right, this is the most blatant russian AstroTurf i have ever seen. And i did for the first time ever look through his comment history. Mainly to feel smart, there was nothing I could do with that information. I went back so far, and it was apparently just an average, seemingly nice latino dude who was super into trump. And i never really figured it out why.

Where's all the people complaining about the lack of people trying to start stuff with feds?
Almost like fighting the way they want to be fought doesn't accomplish Jack and shit.
This tracks exactly with what I say; one person alone can’t do shit.
I bet the story would’ve been quite different had there been 10-20 heroes instead of one.
Solo running a facility as if life is an FPS game where you can just super soldier and out aim everything wasn't the best of ideas.

Idiot. What harm did he expect to do alone? Just plain idiot.
Basically every "group plot" I can think of in the last 20 years (regardless of ideology or motive) has been broken up by one or more undercovers or informants before they can do anything.
Maybe his methodology was dumb but reaching out to the ether for partners in crime is dumber.
Lone Wolf type attacks do have a much lower chance of being discovered, but that doesn't change that just running at a group of armed agents is dumb. Planting a bomb or sniping them at a distance seems like something with a higher chance of success. Or even a suicide vest, since surviving certainly wasn't a goal for the guy.

Maybe his plan was to be killed, and to try and take out some people on his way. At least his target wasn’t a school.
Suicide by cop.
The symbolism is noteworthy.
People have a limit.

This is sad. It sucks. You want to say that violence isn't the answer, but it's easy to see how people hit their breaking point. ICE agents kidnapping people is horrible. McAllen is poor. The people who work in that ICE facility are likely just happy to have a job with benefits that feeds their families.
Nah. Fuck them.
You don't say that about the IDF soldiers dropping the bombs on the hospital. "They just wanted to pay their rent - they didn't ask to kill orphans"
Get the fuck outta here.

That's not just a job though. It's a Nazi job. You are required to treat people like animals. If you qualify for that job you are disqualified for life.
You had me till the last sentence.
The people who work in that ICE facility are likely just happy to have a job with benefits that feeds their families.
Find a fucking different job
My dude. We are well past the point where it is ok to say " Im just doing my job" in the midst of fascism. No it is literally not okay to work for ICE (gestapo) and kidnap people, to support your family. Hell no.
"I was just doing my job" didn't work at Nuremberg, and it shouldn't work here. That's now how committing crimes against humanity works.
Every single person working at these places (or involved in the trafficking of people to foreign prisons) needs to be held to account, just like they did with the Nazis.
This is sad. It sucks. You want to say that violence isn’t the answer, but it’s easy to see how people hit their breaking point. Schutzstaffel agents kidnapping people is horrible. Oświęcim is poor. The people who work in that transient worker camp are likely just happy to have a job with benefits that feeds their families.

For anyone else curious about the relationship to ICE, here is what I found on Wikipedia, with each → pointing to a parent agency:
US Border Patrol → US Customs and Border Protection → US Department of Homeland Security
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) → US Department of Homeland Security

Hopefully his shots caught some nazi skulls and nothing else.
