Federal agents arrest firefighters working on WA wildfire

"Jenkins, grab my coat, we're doing another 1812 and setting their fucking palace on fire!"

Nice to see this opinion out in the open

I don't get what so controversial about saying that Nazis should be killed. that shouldn't be a controversial statement. that should be the default belief of every person and company.

They are undeniably a domestic enemy and a clear and present threat to the public good. "Murder" is not an appropriate term for it.

:-/

You leading this charge from the front or taking up command in the rear?

I feel like it's an eventuality that during a forest fire, misinformed hunters will just be firing rifles at firefighters trying to save their land.

Wait... That already happened?

Depends on what you do.

Working at a VA hospital and providing medical care to veterans. Probably doesn't count.

Working at the NPS trying to keep a park running and its resources protected. Probably doesn't count.

I think the difference is employees that are trying to continue their civic duties versus those trying to further often illegal executive orders.

It’s like jan 6 when everyone recorded themselves for posterity, they plan on showing it to their grandchildren one day. They’re not sorry. And those fucks got away with it then, soooooo….

And none of the Nazis, on their way out to a wildfire zone to do a random ID check on firefighters (it wasn't even targeted) had it bubble up in their smooth brains that maybe they were the baddies.

The reprehensible behavior of the entire MAGA administration is a clear demonstration that they don't expect there to be a "next" president.

I probably believed that before George Bush Sr. and Jr. (middle east, etc), now I don't think anyone will actually be held accountable unless it's a U.N. styled group but even then the people who are "useful" won't see any type of repercussions (like operation paperclip with ww2).

Less than 200 Nazis were executed by the Nuremberg trials. It would be awesome if every member of ICE and friends danced at the end of a rope, but I am doubtful.

You think these fucks are keeping records?

Are all these ICE agents planning to die in the next 3 years?

A lot of these guys have little to no formal education and both ears full of AM Talk Radio every day. They're being offered six figures to do the kind of thuggish brutality they were eager to engage in for free under prior administrations.

The next president is likely to unseal all these records and prosecute them for their crimes.

Kinda like they prosecuted a third of the J6ers? Lightly and in a manner that made them into celebrity martyrs rather than pariahs?

FFS, Jake Lang is running for Congress.

No, def not in that way.

In some other ways however ...

Well, there's that one time: https://youtu.be/7JkrJUAg8aI

I love firefighter strikes. Tear gas cannisters are no match for a firehose

Ha, kind of a "quiet quitting!"

These are people who do not believe there will ever be consequences for their actions.

I've worked with a ton of these guys, they're most often on H2A visas from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala... And some of the companies that contract them are... Not diligent about paperwork. Sucks for the guys. And beyond that, forestry work and wildland firefighting will absolutely grind to a halt without them in the west and southeast. Absolutely kneecapping all efforts to reduce fuels and replant burns/clear-cuts. There's an argument to be made that the use of these crews is essentially forced labor anyway (pretty crazy economic gradient from here to their home countries) but all the guys I worked with were stoked to have the job and returned year after year. Anyhow I was definitely waiting for this to happen, and it's going to result in more dysfunction in the forest industry.

Eh, not the detention centers please. A whole lot of innocent people there who don't have the option to just make an orderly exit. Fuck their offices and vehicles though.

I think we can just combine the first two steps. Perhaps switch the first words in their order.

Yeah, no one's ever going to be just perfectly ready to go when suddenly their mundane work day gets interrupted by Nazis, but I think a bunch of firefighters getting one of their comrades kidnapped would be a situation where you could get a bit wild and suffer few long term consequences. "CBP arrests squad of firefighters in an active wildfire zone for interfering with them kidnapping one of their members" is the sort of thing that gets attention and dropped charges.
