They're so fucking desperate for martial law

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

So basically you can write anything on the bullet to place blame on the side you want blamed and everyone will automatically believe you? -- because someone who would shoot people would definitely not lie or try to make it look like a certain "side" did it, right?

Or maybe no matter what they write or who they shoot, this regime will blame it on "the left". (edit to add): The FBI could just as easily have scrawled that "anit-ice" on there before taking the picture. I guess messages on bullets is the new trend now.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 26 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Why would someone shoot detainees while hating ice?

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Indescrimanant shooting. That's how.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

except this was discriminant; they only shot the kidnapped.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 hours ago

He shot at a van that was parked. Probably trying to hit the driver's, and sucked at it.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 17 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

"left-wing extremist" who was "politically motivated to go after people who are enforcing our border."

If they keep saying it they’ll be right eventually. “SEE?!? We told you so!!”

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 15 points 14 hours ago

Yes, that's why the shooter targeted detainees, not officers.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Do it again, but this time hit the actual bad guys.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (2 children)

Edit: So I guess ICE is just straight up executing people now?

Fuck this country.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

It sounds like yet another case of a 4chan edgelord.

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The victims were shot, not the thugs.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

jFC, are you serious? What even is happening.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 hours ago

You know what's happening because it happened before, in 1939.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 47 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Looking at history and how unoriginal HF is. My prediction remains:

Big ass false flag attack is on the horizon.

Putin flavored.

Everything the regime has tried to use to incite "civil war" has failed so far.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Interesting idea, but what could it possibly be? Americans shrug off gun violence like it's just a part of life.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Like I said. Putin Flavored.

The Moscow apartment bombings. Probably in a blue or at least purple state. Lots of victims. Blames antifa.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 hours ago

It'll be the new Hitler's "Reichstagg Fire" moment. His big one-size-fits-all excuse to snap his mass-murder plan into place.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 77 points 1 day ago (3 children)

did ice just murder a bunch of immigrants to give the government an excuse to further crack down?

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 31 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yep.

Alternatively, it could have been just another right-wing fuckhead who wanted to murder some brown people and the administration is making the best use of it they can to make up for dropping the ball so hard on Kirk's assassination.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 7 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Could be a mix of the two. Could be an ICE officer who was off duty. We don't even know who they are hiring or who they are redirecting from what agency. Or it could just be someone who wanted to be ICE or were rejected by them.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 18 hours ago

It does seem likely. Especially if that "anti-ice" message on the bullets is real. That doesn't even make sense...

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Only if they somehow convinced a white kid to shoot himself as well to make it convincing.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Many of the fuckwits that commit mass shootings kill themselves afterwards to avoid consequences. The guy killing himself afterwards is honestly perfectly normal.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 129 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Shooter appears to have been targeting kidnapped immigrants, not ICE. But sure, the violence against ICE agents has to stop. Violence against brown people, however? Totally fine.

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not sure what the shooter's motivations were, but he appears to have shot the van they were in multiple times and not have had any visual on his targets, meaning he could have been aiming for the ICE. It's hard to say for sure.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

he appears to have shot the van they were in

If that's the case, the ICE agents would be in the front of the van and the detainees would have been in the back. So how do the detainees get shot but the ICE agents are fine if the shooter was targeting agents?

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Sounds like he was shooting up the general area, and the van included. Maybe not even thinking about it and could have been shooting the back of a van, for all I know.

Given the background of the shooter, I don't think he was thinking too much about the nuanced strategy and results, he was a 4-chan troll turned shooter, with maybe a bit of a libetarian bent, but mostly a generally nihilistic guy losing his mind in the cesspits of discussions.

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Again, we don't know for sure, but it's not uncommion for the Agents themselves to ride in the back and all jump out on location to perform a surprise raid.

Three people were shot at the Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office on Wednesday morning, according to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons.

The shooter is "down" from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Lyons said in an interview on CNN.

That’s the whole article.

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 63 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The victims were not immediately clear but Lyons said that "all ICE agents and officers at [the] location are accounted for right now."

This is also notable!

Because I assumed the narrative was that the shooter was targeting ICE agents.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 25 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Updated. 2 dead, 1 wounded. All were detainees. Shots were fired blindly at a building and a van. Detainees were in the van.

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

If this kid was aiming for the ICE he was an imbecile, so disappointed in him.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

The shooter was an imbecile regardless.

Based on other reporting, sounds like it's as much likely he thought it would be 'funny' to set the world on fire a bit rather than standing for any particular ideology. Which seems to be a very difficult problem as the usual strategies fall apart since the individuals just jump to an extremist action without any particularly certain indicators beforehand.

So supposedly this was targeted at ICE but he missed and hit 3 immigrants by accident. So, again, both sides will claim the other side is responsible.

The only thing clear is that there's more violence coming.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 41 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It really, really feels like a false flag, either completely or partially staged. The single round in a... stripper clip? with the phrase "anti ice" hastily written on ONE bullet is bad enough, but the tweet by Patel really sealed it, both in terms of posting evidence in a murder case on social media, and the fact that he said "empty casings were engraved" as he posted the picture of non-empty bullet casings with sharpie markings. It seems like they tried to do something hasty and rapid here and made a lot of mistakes.

I'm really surprised ol' wide-eyes didn't have his boys write "Antifa 4Ever!" on the shell. The weird rush-job of the whole thing really lends me to believe whatever went down wasn't exactly how they had planned.

I guess we wait and see what obvious bs they do next like throw a wig on the shooter's body and call him "trans."

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

Yeah, these guys writing shit on bullets thinking it'll throw cops off their trail, are wasting their time. It's dumb.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

I am willing to buy into the idea that T Rob was a conservative who started turning left. This shit right here is nonsense.

Thoughts and prayers...

But still nowhere near as big of a tragedy as when a school gets shot up. And Charlie Kirk said these are the price of freedom

Sounds like 3 people shot, and the shooter killed himself. 2 people were detainees that were shot, no information on the third. Noem of course is saying "violence against ICE has to stop".... But this very much sounds like violence against immigrants. Unless they were detaining ICE officers

Edit: Fox is reporting all 3 were detainees, being shot with a rifle from range and the shooter killed himself. Fox made sure to say the shooter was white.

I haven't seen anyone else report on it outside FOX/CNN with any details yet

[–] sausager@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Who is so racist that they have to kill people already detained and likely have already shitty ruined lives? These maga cultists better be labeled as terrorists once trump is gone

Honestly I'm a little surprised they did.
