1. Going after the hotels and vehicles.. now that's smart!

Way to go LA!

[yorkster]

10. Nice template so to speak. May all these

moves catch on quickly.

[ananda]

41. Everywhere

Thank you

[Magoo48]

37. Hell yes LA, go California Republic.. Great ideas for the nation; keep them coming. Creative resistance. Love it.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

56. Mess with the Golden Bear, get the claws!

And some huge, nasty teeth for good measure!

[Conjuay]

84. yeah, let these losers walk through the streets wearing all their copy cat commando gear.

See how well they are received when they can't get away,.

[surfered]

2. Love it. Detain their vehicles!

[usedtobedemgurl]

9. And check inside for whose name is on the registration.

When even a few get outted, a lot more will think twice. And if they are not with ICE, they can get arrested for posing as an official.

[PatSeg]

18. Yeah, maybe a lot of them will rethink

their career choices.

[paleotn]

44. Exactly! Been pondering ways to put the masked thugs.

Perfect!

[Attilatheblond]

3. Lawless bounty hunters/cop inpersonators get 'nicked' for breaking laws

Meanwhile, the actual criminal gangs Trump yells about go unbothered by "ICE" and Stephen Miller profits from innocents in detention centers.

[C_U_L8R]

4. Fantastic business opportunity!

That's some good old American entrepreneurship right there.

[Whiskeytide]

5. Doesn't this mean someone will ...

… get some actual names and addresses when the vehicles are reclaimed from impound? Are they really ICE?

[malaise]

7. It also means they'd better be fit to run from those angry people n/t

[IronLionZion]

31. Meal Team Six and Gravy Seals might have some trouble running

[malaise]

32. Sure looks that way

😀

[Hotler]

14. VIN#'s is all they need. nt

[Seinan Sensei]

64. So these vehicles are driving through town

without a license plate?

[GopherGal]

69. without an *authentic* license plate, let's say.

Given the frauds we're dealing with here, any license plates they may have may come up as "stolen". So the wise course would be to use the VINs to find the actual owners of the vehicles...

[usonian]

6. There is no authority greater than parking enforcement.

[TheRickles]

38. Heads up: This image may be AI-generated. It looks like Jesus only has 4 fingers on his left hand.

[usonian]

43. Guaranteed AI

I can''t work that fast.
Apologies to AI-haters, including myself.
About 95% of my computer art is from real photos or cartoons.
If you throw in my own photography, about 99%.


And TBH, I rarely post any of my own photos, thanks to web scraping by the AI engines.

[BidenRocks]

52. Jesus driving?

Quite an upgrade from donkeys. (Ass)
What model car?

[usonian]

54. Hybrid

AI mashes up all cars into some home-made-from-junkyard-parts jalopy.
Kind of like this, but just the surface.
The pic below may actually be done by some computer graphic artist.

[alimbalt]

59. Surely a ...

Volvo.

[TheRickles]

66. I wasn't commenting on your artistic skills, just implying that some people might actually think

it's a "real" image of Jesus. So I was spoofing them - Fox viewers, not DUers!

[usonian]

71. Well, I can't speculate. There's only one way to find out, isn't there?

It's likely that the Real Jesus was a dark-skinned middle-eastern. Today, he'd be in a Los Angeles detention center.

Jesus did play for the Giants.



Along with brothers Felipe and Matty Alou.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

57. The Jewish carpenter needs a car?

[GopherGal]

70. Well, people keep asking him to "take the wheel"

so it's probably good that he gets in a little practice driving.

[usedtobedemgurl]

8. It would be funny as hell if these tow truck drivers

Got out of their trucks wearing ICE vests. I bet that would scare the helm out of the wannabes.

[mcar]

11. Excellent!

[MineralMan]

12. Hook 'em and Haul 'em!

This is perfect. The vehicles are not marked as LEO vehicles. Haul them to the impound lot!

[Arazi]

13. I'd like to believe this but none of those demonstrate anyone towing ICE vehicles

[Nittersing]

30. Yeah, I did a search and came up with nada

Too bad.

Maybe this talk will spark some action.

[Chili Pepper]

83. I so wanted this to be true

[Heidi]

15. I wish there were a way to tip these tow-truck drivers! (edited)

ETA: I’m retracting my and my rec. I’m not convinced that the videos depict real-life events.

[PatSeg]

16. Wow, that is brilliant!

[avebury]

17. That is one way to deal with

them. It is all about figuring how to out smart them.

[Hotler]

19. Think of the towing and impound fees. I wonder how many thought, shit, I had guns in that car.

Have the drug dogs do a walk through.

[Martin68]

20. Go LA! The Resistance is strong!

[calimary]

48. And VERY creative!!!

[lindysalsagal]

21. How is it the wrongly detained citizens can't sue for false arrest?

[markie]

22. GOOD!

good work people

[justaprogressive]

23. K'n'R!

Let all the Blue cities know!

[usonian]

24. I believe that masked, unbadged "officers" without a warrant should be charged for impersonating a L.E.O.

This will do in the meantime.

Where has this worked in the past?

[Eliot Rosewater]

28. Classic, one of the greatest movies of all time

[jmbar2]

25. Bravo!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

26. While I'm sure that you can believe everything you see on TikTok, has anyone fact-checked this? NT

[Arazi]

29. And none of those videos match that headline

Clickbait

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. I like it, the piece of shit will probably call Kim Jong-Un

And Putin and ask what they would do , and they will tell him that they’ll just start killing citizens and that will show them.

He’s a real piece of shit, but it all could’ve been avoided, in 2016 if there had been a universal understanding of what we were up against and people had supported a certain someone.

It happened again in 2024 apparently even though the election was rigged , look on YouTube “Christopher Titus rigged“ and this is by the way, undeniable information.

[flashman13]

33. ow that is what I call creative resistance.

Next take the vehicles to an undisclosed location and refuse to tell the ICErs where to find them. Sort of poetic justice.

[Cirsium]

34. Satire

I couldn't find any legit sources or photos. The story appears to have been started on social media by "Halfway Post" which is the name of a satire website.

[calimary]

51. Well, satire or not, it's a FANTASTIC idea!

And it means people are THINKING. Of ways to thwart, or get even.

[Cirsium]

67. Sure

I agree with that.

[Gore1FL]

35. First good news I've heard today! Thanks for the smile! nt

[stopdiggin]

36. a google search doesn't provide much backing this up

if in fact it is really happening (to any appreciable degree) - I'd love to see so real reporting and pictures as verification.

i.e., be great if it is really happening ...

[NBachers]

39. I bet they'd bring a good price down in Mexico.

[Dave Bowman]

40. Only found mentions of this on X, FB and some other social media.

[iluvtennis]

42. Love it!. 😍 n/t

[lame54]

45. What part of illegal don't they understand?

[flvegan]

46. 166 recs

For something that can't/hasn't been verified, allegedly started from a satire account, seems profoundly unlikely to begin with.

As nice as it would be if it were true...

[twodogsbarking]

47. The new and improved ice truck.

[mellow]

49. No evidence of claim is provided

This appears to be another post by this account with no evidence of its claim.

[Figarosmom]

50. Well they are illigal and illegally parked, usually blocking traffic.

I bet some are using their own cars. I hope the towing companies take forever cataloging them so they can't tell the agents where their cars are impounded. And the rack up hefty fi es to get them out. All perfectly legal.

I can hear noem now, oh we'll arrest blah blah blah....

It may be satire, but good ideas spread.

[JoseBalow]

53. Allegedly

[Hekate]

55. Brilliant! Go, Angelenos!!! More reporting on this, confirmation, pleeeese.

[Celerity]

80. It's another 'fake news via dodgy tweet(s)' OP. Shambolic look for DU that it has 269 recs.

This board is becoming overrun with bullshit OPs with hundreds of recs. Even worse is that so many recs come after the OPs have been exposed as bollocks. That and bad faith OP posters who leave up the shite (and also post it in the first place).

[Hekate]

85. I propose a new category in the TOS and in Alerts: just those kinds of posts...

I regret to say I have been snookered by them more times than I care to recall. It isn’t funny — DU has traditionally been the place where sources have been checked and given by the author before posting. This current trend degrades the site.

It’s particularly bad because one goal of RW authoritarians is to make sure people lose all sight of who and what to trust for information. When I joined DU I was fresh off my PhD, and research and verifying were second nature — but it was old-fashioned book research. We are in a cyber-world where by now I feel obsolete.

My oldest grandchild is in college and his mother is regrettably a nut who thinks Robert Kennedy Jr. (in my mind BobK or RobK) is God’s Gift. I have been struggling with how to guide this young man in, well, developing a bullshit-meter. The other day I finally gave him DU’s address, saying that we might be old but we check our sources — and realized too late that I no longer know if that is true.

You really hit a nerve, as you can tell.

[Bettie]

58. I keep coming back to this

because it makes me laugh every time.

[LauraInLA]

60. You all, the overall post is SATIRE. This is not actually happening in LA on any scale.

[Celerity]

62. DU has pushed misinformation for years, this just happened with the Murkowski says she may well switch to Dem bollocks.

Same OP, and both pushed using dodgy X accounts.

Dismaying that between the 2 OPs there have been over 400 recc's.

[LauraInLA]

61. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LABEL THIS AS SATIRE!!!!!

[louis-t]

63. Ketchup throwing and tsf threats to start

in 3...2...1...

[Clouds Passing]

65. Tow Tow Away, LA

[EndlessWire]

68. I think we learned that from Ukrainian farmers!! n/t

[damifino10]

72. X-splode

Would love to watch but refuse to open anything twitter or X
Will not help Eloon Muskovite make a single cent if I can help
it.

[Kaleva]

73. Over 200 recs for disinformation

[Buttoneer]

74. It's not true.

[red dog 1]

75. The source for this claim is the Satirical X account "The Halfway Post"

[summer_in_TX]

76. A SATIRICAL website is the source.

LJ Roberts

NOTE: The claim that tow truck drivers in LA are stalking ICE convoys to tow their vehicles is likely false. The Halfway Post, the source of the claim, is a satirical website known for humor, not facts. No credible news reports, such as from the Los Angeles Times or CNN, confirm this

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16bQq9AvDX/

The glitter bombs also don't check out.

[DFW]

77. Maybe it's different out in L.A., but where I grew up....

If something seemed too good to be true, it probably was.

Of course, where I grew up, some of the roads, including ours, weren’t paved yet. Maybe it was different where y’all could read and write

[LPBBEAR]

78. Hope they are checking the plates

to see if they belong to the vehicles they are towing. I recently caught a video someone had taken from a hotel balcony where ICE agents were casually switching plates on their vehicle. I assume there is a California law against using plates not legally registered to the vehicle.

Lock those Nazi's cars up and make ICE walk to their kidnappings and abductions!

[The Wizard]

81. The Brown Shirts

should be taken into custody and held until they disclose their identities and who gave them the orders to randomly round up non Caucasians . This kind of shit turned out poorly for the Gestapo. We thought they were silenced in 1945.

[Bengus81]

82. LOL!!! BUMP THIS UP!!
