That ICE guy totally didn't know how to use the jumper cables. "With help from another community member", pictures with ICE guy standing around watching.

    woulda been difficult for me to not suggest they get clamped to the agent's testicles.

    "Here, buddy. Hold this one in that hand and that one in the other hand. You want to make sure the metal doesn't touch, so you should probably hold on tight to the copper tips so you know they can't touch each other. OK? You have a good grip? Good. I'll connect my leads to the battery now."

    ICE's feed says that they did this jump start thing, but let's get real. It probably never happened.

    These are the same people who lied and said that an officer suffered internal bleeding after he clearly didn't get hit by anything. These are the same people who lied and said that they killed a man who was brandishing a weapon threateningly and their agents feared for their lives despite the fact that he never touched the gun and was disarmed at the time of the shooting.

    If ICE says something that benefits themselves, then I have no reason to believe it's true. This is the slant to take whenever you get any information from a source of propaganda.

    That's a picture of ICE agents walking near a car with jumper cables connected. Maybe they saw somebody getting jumped and photobombed. Maybe they just used one of their own cars and the entire scene is staged.

    Even in the extremely remote possibility that they actually did something to make another person's life easier, they ruined it by taking pictures of it. That would mean that they only helped as PR.

    There is no reason to believe when a known propagandist tells you something like this. You should first expect them to lie or distort the truth.

    Tryinng to sell an act of basic human decency as something worthy of applause is not the kind of PR they think it is.

    Just as a PSA, factually.co doesn’t have human fact checkers, it’s all AI. In this instance the headline is correct, but it’s always better to use something written by a person if it’s information you care about.

    Damnit that's me I'm the fucking obit guy, (was), and that job is not available to machine learning. The obit guy calls people and talks to them.

    Thank fuck that’s done by humans. The idea of using AI for obituaries sounds intensely disrespectful. Like, “Hey, we loved you, but not enough to actually write something loving about you.”

    If somebody uses AI to write mine, I’d go haunting the shit out of whoever made that decision.

    Pure propaganda. The driver was likely one of them that radioed for assistance. So they came and, coincidentally, "noticed a man experiencing car trouble," right where he told them he'd be.

    Or, the entire thing was staged. Remember, this is the party that invented the concept of "paid crisis actors.".

    Liars never seem to figure out that, once we know that they're liars, we don't believe a fucking thing they say, because, why should we?

    Like those clips of people pushing a shark back into the ocean off the beach. They never show the part where they hooked it and reeled it out of the ocean. “Look at us saving this shark!”

    I mean... yeah that does happen.

    I've caught a shark on accident, and pulled it in so I could remove the hook and release it. I don't find it fun, but it's better than just cutting the line and leaving a barbed piece of metal in the animal.

    I also don't generally practice "catch and release" fishing. I fish for food (mostly crappie) because I think catch and release is just being a dick to fish for no reason.

    I don't go to the ranch and shoot deer in the leg, get a few pics, then send it onnits way, so why would I do the same to fish?

    What a nice wholesome interaction with the masked paramilitary kidnap force.

    Imagine, if this really happened, this guy didn't know who they were and didn't know anything about ice and was like "I really appreciate you guys who are you guys anyway?"

    "We're ice"

    "Oh I don't know who that is. What brings you to town?"

    "We're here to kidnap men, women and children and put them in cages"

    "Uh.."

    "Yeah, you hear about that guy who got held down and shot in the back of the head execution style?"

    "I did hear something about that. We're you there to help him...?"

    "Haha. No, we're the ones that shot him. That's why we wear these masks"

    "Oh I thought you had those because it's cold"

    "Haha no no no no. It's because we don't want people to be able to identify us and hold us accountable for our crimes."

    "Uh...I really gotta go"

    "Sure thing buddy. Hey, before you go. You don't happen to know any brown people do you?"

    "Nope, sure don't. Gotta go. Byeee!"

    Yeah, when any kind of law enforcement shows up anywhere, I just want to get out of there. You never know if his boss just chewed him out, or his wife chewed him out, or his mistress chewed him out, or some citizen chewed him out, etc., but in any case, he's probably pissed off, and looking to take it out on the first person that makes eye contact.

    When a cop walks in, your chances of dying of a gunshot wound in the next few minutes just went up 1000%.

    No thanks, Imma bounce.

    Listen, if a man beats his wife even once, let alone multiple times, but he also helps her fix her car, he’s still a wife-beating piece of shit.
    An abuser is an abuser. It doesn’t matter how nice he is the other times.

    "With help from another community member"??? They don't know how to jump start a car? Who the fuck needs help connecting TWO battery terminals? This is just bizarre, and probably fake anyway.

    Yeah.....nice try. They were looking for trouble and didn't find any so then tried to pivot it into a "good-feel" fascist story

    Armed-and-masked-charm-offensives don't work. You can bring me tea and biscuits while armed and masked, but it's not a lack of tea and biscuits that causes my fear, it's the fact that you're armed and masked.

    Arrest them and Kill them! and then get sent home to hide like a coward!

    They probably stopped to check his papers first, saw he was white, and offered help.

    I imagine if it was a latino they would have kidnapped him.

    That’s after they seized the tow truck driver who showed up to give the guy a jump but had a south of the border last name. Photo op time!
