Honestly, I would fall into this trap.
The federal agent genuinely sounds like she is a person having car trouble, this trap would work on me because I guess I too am a fundamentally decent person.
This is honestly pretty smart on the part of the fascists. A big portion of what is so effective about the resistance is that it’s founded on strong community action. Neighbors helping neighbors, because it’s the right thing to do.
Posing as a neighbor in need makes that act feel riskier. It changes the calculus, just a little, in favor of not helping your neighbor. They achieve their near term goal of getting their victim, but there’s an even more valuable (to them) effect of weakening community ties overall.
Time to double down on looking out for your neighbors.
EDIT: Looking out for them so you can help. In case that wasn’t clear.
I’ve known people who got car jacked using the same tactics, DHS are continuing to use criminal tactics to fuck with working class people
They seem to like blurring those lines. As though the agents being in danger is part of the goal.
Makes you wonder, what government wants the spark to ignite the powder keg? That would be like packing the Reichstag with flammable stuff and telling a local arsonist about it – OH.
Just looking for an excuse to invoke the insurrection act and a means to rally the base.
Imo the fatal flaw in the US system is that DHS doesn’t have to have courts with juries for prosecutions. No jury would convict after hearing this was how somebody was caught
Juries are regular citizens. Regular citizens voted for Trump and don’t care about felonies, pedophilia, eating kids, fraud, adultery, etc.
There is a degree to which jury selection occurs that makes it difficult to stack a jury with trump psychopaths.
Probably depends on where someone lives. You can only dismiss a certain amount I thought.
What the fuck are you doing America?
As we all know, the worst of the worst tends to stop to help stranded motorists. It’s a well-documented criminal trait.
So here’s the new way to help stranded motorists in the US: hold them at gun point, handcuff them to a tree, then fix their car.
Where the fuck is the suspicion, nevermind “reasonable suspicion” behind the use of this tactic? Is helping someone with a broken car a crime, an antifa gang symbol or something to that effect?
There isn’t even the pretense of crime fighting in this clip, just a bait trap to kidnap normal, caring people.
Cartel tactics
