A video recorded last week has ignited outrage online after it captured ICE agents violently arresting two brothers in South Norwalk, Connecticut, in broad daylight without producing a warrant. The men, identified as Ricardo Chavez and his brother, reportedly hold legal status to live and work in the United States.
The footage (credit @alwaysfilmthepolice) shows plainclothes ICE agents forcibly detaining the men in a public area. Witnesses say the agents refused to provide identification or present a warrant when asked, instead resorting to physical force and a taser to subdue the brothers before hauling them away. They also allegedly damaged their vehicle.
Community members who know the Chavez family insist that both men are law-abiding residents with valid documentation. “They work, they pay taxes, and they belong here,” said one South Norwalk resident who witnessed the arrest. “This was nothing short of a kidnapping.”
Reminder: nazis are worthless pieces of trash. Who could possibly still pull out of this mess with major life changes and yadda yadda.
Nazi COPS are not saveable. They are monsters.
Dehumanizing one’s enemies is what Nazis do.
Oh fuck off. People are pissed off and rightly so, don’t impose your bloated sense of morality on them and try to villainize the people being put under the boot of fascists for viewing those fascists as inhuman monsters when they are acting like inhuman monsters. Asking people to humanize victims is fine, but demanding that people humanize those that terrorize them is just moral masturbation. Shut the hell up.
Cops are taking people to concentration camps which will certainly become death camps or slavery in time
I agree that they’re bad people. I do not agree that they aren’t people.
Yep. Which is why they need to be dehumanized. There is a difference when it’s targeting one specific group because of their murderous hatred. They need to be stopped.
You can stop them without using their rhetoric.
History has shown us that there is only one way to stop them. I guess people like you need to learn the hard way again, rather than learn from history.
How exactly is saying “they’re not human” on the internet going to stop them?
Read a history book, then maybe you’ll understand what I was referring to.
We need not tolerate the intolerant. Else we have a paradox.
So don’t tolerate them. Don’t act like them either.
Those seeking to destroy humanity are not worthy of our humanity.
Are you saying that to defeat Nazis we must become Nazis?
What do you think a Nazi actually is? Because it isn’t “stop fascists from killing other people.”
Why do you keep equating these two things? It’s weird.
Why are you using Nazi tactics when you supposedly want to stop Nazis?
What “Nazi tactics” am I using, specifically? I would love to know.
Dehumanization
Equating what I’m saying to Nazi dehumanization is extremely disingenuous. One is about trying to prevent mass murder based on bigotry, and the other is about perpetrating it. But nuance is hard I guess.
If that’s how your spongy brain wants to see it, sure. By that logic, all of the WWII veterans are actually Nazis.
WW2 veterans didn’t dehumanize people, wtf are you talking about?
They just shot them and turned them into hamburger
They treated them as enemies, not non-humans. Its an important distinction. Its the reason they were the good guys and you’re not.
again with this? tolerating the intolerant is not possible. in addition, I did not dehumanize them. they do it to themselves.
why do you support nazis?
It’s not about tolerating the intolerant, it’s about not using their same thought process lest you fall prey to the same kinds of propaganda. Besides, removing their humanity absolves them of their sin. This isn’t like a house cat killing birds on instinct, these people choose to do this. And they should be treated accordingly.
Broke: Nazis aren’t human
Woke: The worst monsters to be born on this planet are all human, and they all seem to really like swastikas
Much more well put than I could do myself.
It’s not even close to the same thought process though. You have to know that, right?
Also, I take issue with the entire concept of “sin,” so that argument holds no water for me. I mean, what a meaningless “argument”. How does it absolve them of anything??
fair and cogent reply. i’ll take it. :)
“They are no longer human” doesn’t count as dehumanizing? Is english not your first language?
