Happened in LA just days after a federal Judge struck down their use of warrantless arrests. And they continued at a Home Depot in Los Angeles a couple days after.

Did they say to Penske, "renting this for raids?" Not trying to be snide, but it's entirely possible that Penske had no clue what the rental was for.

    Then they should denounce them. Loudly. Otherwise it's compliance and they're part of the problem.

    I don't disagree with you one bit. Hopefully they do. Just trying to be realistic.

    They did.

    Penske Truck Rental is aware of recent reports and videos regarding a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operation in Los Angeles. Penske strictly prohibits the transportation of people in the cargo area of its vehicles under any circumstances. The company was not made aware that its trucks would be used in today's operation and did not authorize this. Penske will reach out to DHS and reinforce its policy to avoid improper use of its vehicles in the future.

    Edit to add: they didn't say "omg we don't approve of this for politics/ethics" they said "omg that's not safe and you're not allowed to use our trucks that was". I get that the first would be more satisfying to hear, but the second is a legalistic reason to refuse to rent to them again.

    It's a rental truck company. How the hell would they know? Some guy named Nathan rents a truck and says he'll have it back on Tuesday. They don't ask, "Will you be commiting treason with our vehicle today?"

    Timothy McVeigh rented a Ryder truck. Does that make them Ryder terrorists?

    Yes. This is literally adopted directly from Neo Nazi playbooks. Nazis like using box trucks to transport mass groups of people for two reasons: they're everywhere, and they're opaque.

    Once you load up in this, nobody outside can tell how many of you there are, what you're carrying or kitted for, and they can't ID you from the outside. When you leave, it's pretty easy to blend away into traffic, or dump the truck out in some residential neighborhood and scatter away without anyone knowing how many people were in the truck to begin with. You also have no way of knowing what else they're carrying in the back - weapons? People? Explosives?

    The other reason Nazis like using these is it now immediately sets you on edge if you see a moving truck anywhere near a demonstration, or parade, or whatever. The fear is the point - we might not be THAT truck, but we might be the next, or the one after that, etc.

    Boycott a company for doing business with a random white guy?

    I could go rent a truck right now. I'm not in a domestic terror group but the guy renting me the truck doesn't know that.

    Penske has put out a statement calling this illegal.

    Are you prepared to undo the damage you've done with this post, now that you know it was wrong?

    Worth noting, Patriot Front had a huge leak of data in 2022 (400GB).

    I'm just glad no one runs up to one of these Nazis fuck trucks and puts on an extra secure padlock while it's full of Nazis. Wouldn't want the Nazis to get stressed or overheated in metal box with no AC while they are clothed head to toe.

    No no no no no

    This is not wise and I urge you not to take the above advice.

    You want the Abus 83CS/55, or, if you're made of money, the Assa Abloy Enforcer 342. Jesus, folks, you can drill through that cheap-ass padlock in like 30 seconds. At least get a better shackle guard and a protected keyway. Definitely something you can't open with a hammer

    Looks like some fascists who need to be ticketed for violating seat belt law. And then totally removed from society.

    This is unfortunately very standard through North America. The Montreal police, the SPVM, did the same during student protests in 2012.
