Federal agents arrest firefighters working on WA wildfire
a year ago by return2ozma to c/news
Federal policy under President Joe Biden’s administration stated that without “exigent circumstances” agents would not conduct their operations at natural disaster or emergency sites. Whether that policy remains in place, however, remains unclear.
C'mon. What do you think?
Be a real shame if Federal buildings in Washington started to catch fire and fire departments refused to attend.
Canadian Militia Intensifies
People need to start murdering ICE agents.
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.
Eradication. They are a pestilence, like locusts.
Self defense
:-/
You leading this charge from the front or taking up command in the rear?
Sounds like a bunch of cops must be fed to the inferno.
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.
checks notes
The article reads more that someone who was upset they got rejected when applying to become a firefighter broke started a fire on purpose to lure out the fire department and then just shot them up when they arrived and committed suicide before capture. Its just a completely fucking wild ride that story.
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.
If you work in a MAGA-compromised agency, make sure to come to work sick and wipe your saliva on the doorknobs and keyboards of management and other MAGA lackeys.
I know a woman who tested positive for Covid back during the lockdown days and she went into a survival/gun shop which sported dozens of Trump signs out front and no one was wearing masks inside so she took hers off and fondled everything. After getting advice she shook the owner's hand. The place is now closed and I often wondered why.
She only gave them what they were demanding. They don't want masks or lockdowns? Indulge them.
Are all these ICE agents planning to die in the next 3 years? The next president is likely to unseal all these records and prosecute them for their crimes.
That's way more likely than someone in power facing accountability at least. History show that.
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.
and the ones that did were proud of it
The reprehensible behavior of the entire MAGA administration is a clear demonstration that they don't expect there to be a "next" president.

And if people plan on waiting 3 years to do anything about the current adminstration there won't be.
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).
Honestly, I am doubting the usefulness of MAGAT "experts", if Big Balls, RFK, and the rest are any indication. Unfortunately, a bunch of the bastards are wealthy, and harsh sentences are for the peasantry.
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.

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?
No, def not in that way.
In some other ways however ...
Well, there's that one time: https://youtu.be/7JkrJUAg8aI
sounds like firefighters across the country should just go on a general strike. let it burn
yeah lots of innocent people will die. maybe that's what it takes for america to get their shit together, seeing as how nothing significant enough has happened yet
although I'd be happy just to see selective non-response of fires in republican areas/buildings
Ha, kind of a "quiet quitting!"
Don't mess with firefighters or emergency medical personnel.
These are people who do not believe there will ever be consequences for their actions.
For trump that has been true his whole life. So are they wrong to think that?
I hope so but I'm very worried
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.
If anyone here is a firefighter: refuse to respond to fire incidents at ICE or CBP facilities
Fuck their offices and vehicles though
Cue up the queue of comments: "not like that!"
edit: very nsfw
The three steps needed now:
I think we can just combine the first two steps. Perhaps switch the first words in their order.
Plot twist: The Agents started the fire.
i would turn the hose on them.
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.
