Department of Homeland Security agents were shot at during an immigration enforcement operation in Chicago Saturday, the agency said — as federal agents were also accused of using pepper spray and flash-bang grenades against protesters across the Chicago area.

A little dated, but you just never get to see headlines like this.

After seeing the reporting here (Big Brother Is Watching Your Online Criticism of ICE Crackdowns) and here (Journalist Reveals FBI Is Offering a “Bounty” for Reporting “Anti-Trump Thought”), I think we could all use some good news.

Yeah that tends to happen to people that violate basic human rights.

Good. I hope they get mortally wounded and the hero is never found.
- There were no reports of anyone struck by gunfire

Look. I have had enough of the senseless random gun violence being directed against these fascists.
PLEASE join your local SRA or John Brown Gun club and get some training so that you can be thoughtful and precise in your response to fascism.

DHS says
Okay. That was a quickie. What else is in the Probably Didn't Happen Times today?
- Which one of their Gomer Pyle's had a negligent discharge and now they're blaming it on random people?
  
  Gomer should get that treated.
  
  More like Agent Paul Blart.

Ah, I see the worst of the worst rape-murdering narco-immigrants who are here only for violence have finally decided to almost shoot their most feared and hated enemy.
- Yeah, I'm sure bullying like this (Scared Florida Nurse Abducted by ICE Agents Despite Screaming ‘I’m a US Citizen’) without a warrant and absent probable cause is not contributing to the resentment against ICE at all.
- Blowing my mind that either a) people can't tell you're being sarcastic or b) they actually support ICE.
  
  Thanks for picking up on the sarcasm, I was worried it might not be apparent enough, but it's hard to judge with this medium.
  The point I was making with the reply, of course, was that the narrative of ICE only going after hardened criminals is ludicrous on the surface of it, and even if one were to somehow believe that, the numbers simply don't bear it out.
- Good on them. Fuck those military-cosplaying terrorists.
