(4,736 posts)Is that even legally possible? That would mean that they're free to murder people in cold blood for the fun of it, and not face any consequences. That's fucking insane!

(22,882 posts)I briefly considered joining in the protests in Chicago, but I don't dare.
I've seen how those ICEholes like to slam people to the ground, and I'm deathly afraid of what they might do to me. I'm a 75 year old woman with osteoporosis, and I don't think these old bones could take that. I'll be at the protest in my town on 10/18, but I'm not going anywhere ICE is, at least for the time being..
