    Shooter appears to have been targeting kidnapped immigrants, not ICE. But sure, the violence against ICE agents has to stop. Violence against brown people, however? Totally fine.

      I’m not sure what the shooter’s motivations were, but he appears to have shot the van they were in multiple times and not have had any visual on his targets, meaning he could have been aiming for the ICE. It’s hard to say for sure.

        If that’s the case, the ICE agents would be in the front of the van and the detainees would have been in the back. So how do the detainees get shot but the ICE agents are fine if the shooter was targeting agents?

          Again, we don’t know for sure, but it’s not uncommion for the Agents themselves to ride in the back and all jump out on location to perform a surprise raid.

          Sounds like he was shooting up the general area, and the van included. Maybe not even thinking about it and could have been shooting the back of a van, for all I know.

          Given the background of the shooter, I don’t think he was thinking too much about the nuanced strategy and results, he was a 4-chan troll turned shooter, with maybe a bit of a libetarian bent, but mostly a generally nihilistic guy losing his mind in the cesspits of discussions.

    Three people were shot at the Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office on Wednesday morning, according to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons.

    The shooter is “down” from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Lyons said in an interview on CNN.

    That’s the whole article.

    Sniper shoots unlawfully detained people. Homeland Security sells the story as an attack on ICE.

    Someone literally writes “Anti-ICE” on a bullet casing with what looks like a Sharpie? Is this The Onion? And shoots detainees because they hate ICE? Does that make any sense to anyone?

    Here’s a better theory: ICE killed a couple of detainees and they couldn’t even stage a “fake attack by leftists” story. Motivation makes no sense and multiple people are dead including, conveniently, the sniper.

        Yeah, they took it one step too far there with the fake sniper, but this story has very obviously been falsified.

        What seems to have happened here is some far right nutjob killed a bunch of detainees because it’s not enough that immigrants get deported, no, they have to fucking die (and if you don’t think that’s plausible you’ve not been paying attention). Then the people at ICE decided that the last thing they wanted was for this to increase sympathy for immigrants so they hastily scrawled “ANTI-ICE” (about the least plausible “Fuck you” anyone has ever put on a munition… That’d be like some Tommy in WW2 writing “ANTI-GERMAN” on his grenade… No, you write something funny like “Catch!”) on single cartridge out of a stack of five, using a sharpie from the front desk, because they saw it in the news recently with the Charlie Kirk stuff and figured it would seem plausible.

          They also invented that ICE shot three detainees, two of whom are SURVIVING WITNESSES. Don’t encourage this bullshit. Just wait for the facts.

    So supposedly this was targeted at ICE but he missed and hit 3 immigrants by accident. So, again, both sides will claim the other side is responsible.

    The only thing clear is that there’s more violence coming.

      It really, really feels like a false flag, either completely or partially staged. The single round in a… stripper clip? with the phrase “anti ice” hastily written on ONE bullet is bad enough, but the tweet by Patel really sealed it, both in terms of posting evidence in a murder case on social media, and the fact that he said “empty casings were engraved” as he posted the picture of non-empty bullet casings with sharpie markings. It seems like they tried to do something hasty and rapid here and made a lot of mistakes.

        You see the picture? It says “anti-ICE” on the bullet. I find it really fucking weird that ever since Luigi all the killers write something on the bullets and it’s supposed to tell us what side they were on. So I’m not saying he wrote this and that he was “anti-ICE”, I’m just saying that both sides will now claim he was from the other side. One because of what he supposedly wrote on the bullet, the other because of who he hit.

          If the shooter was actually Anti-ICE and chose to write something on the casings, they would write something other than “Anti-ICE”. That’s not even a message.

            And only on one bullet… perfectly left facing up on the ground, totally not staged for the photo at all. There’s no way that an ICE agent could have possibly written that quickly with a pen/marker/sharpie… at an office… where the shooting happened. Nope, couldn’t possibly have been one of the Gestapo there after the fact, they’re trustworthy and never do anything illegal.

          The world pretty much fell over themselves thinking how awesome the ‘deny’, ‘defend’, ‘depose’ was, so I’m not particularly surprised everyone that follows through with sniping tries to imitate that in some way. It’s a way for the shooter to tap into being as important and significant as Luigi has been in popular culture. Or in this case, it might have been ‘ironic’ as a supremely broken 4-chan edge-lord thinking they are going out of the world doing the ultimate troll.

      Sounds like 3 people shot, and the shooter killed himself. 2 people were detainees that were shot, no information on the third. Noem of course is saying “violence against ICE has to stop”… But this very much sounds like violence against immigrants. Unless they were detaining ICE officers

      Edit: Fox is reporting all 3 were detainees, being shot with a rifle from range and the shooter killed himself. Fox made sure to say the shooter was white.

      I haven’t seen anyone else report on it outside FOX/CNN with any details yet

          Is that a serious question?

          It’s been like a week since someone killed Charlie Kirk for not being rightwing enough.

          And you’re surprised someone thinks we should execute immigrants instead of “just” detain and deport?!

          The far right has been fracturing since Trump took office.

          They all want different things to different extremes, and now that MAGA controls the whole federal government, they’re all pissed things aren’t happening exactly as they want.

          They’re realizing that what they thought was “us” is really a bunch of “them”.

          trump speed runs everything, usually it takes years for a fascist movement to start eating itself once it comes to power.

    So basically you can write anything on the bullet to place blame on the side you want blamed and everyone will automatically believe you? – because someone who would shoot people would definitely not lie or try to make it look like a certain “side” did it, right?

    Or maybe no matter what they write or who they shoot, this regime will blame it on “the left”. (edit to add): The FBI could just as easily have scrawled that “anit-ice” on there before taking the picture. I guess messages on bullets is the new trend now.

    Anyone doing stuff like this is doing exactly what’s needed to stoke more division so the wealthy can toy with us even more. The wealthy and/or corrupt feds don’t care if you commit these acts or die by these acts as long as they can use the even for their own agendas.

        Right!? It’s wild. What sucks is I have no faith in regular citizens. Everyone is sooo far gone… They are still buying into everything… Afraid to cut the cord of false security and fake freedom because they know it means submitting to reality authentic real freedom.

        The psychological warfare is insane… People are getting manipulated to fight for the owners of humanity. It’s beyond America tbh.
