Oh, for god's sake. Let the protesters blow off some steam. How could this gag possibly hurt ICE? Only a stupid person would walk carelessly down an icy road...

Oh, wait...

Oh, no!

QUICK! CALL AN AMBULANCE! THOUSANDS OF LIVES ARE AT RISK!

Listen I hate ICE as much as the next guy but portraying slipping on ice as harmless is dishonest at best. Slipping and falling is very likely to result in hospitalization or death (over a third of the time, according to the CDC)

We can discredit ICE without distorting reality. All distorting reality does is discredit OURSELVES.

I'm permanently fucked up from slipping on ice, and I think this is a great tactic.

I literally don't care at all what people do to resist ICE. Go buck wild, you won't hear me complaining. I'm literally just saying that characterizing this as a silly little prank is lying when the intention is obviously to cause real physical harm. I do hope that this doesn't lead to innocent people getting hurt though. Odds are they just salted it the next day anyway.
