"Certainly Sent a message."
Yep. Seems like they know what they are doing is wrong and take being identified as a threat. Seems like we should all have that information then.
No no no! We have to protect the freedom of law(ish) enforcement so we can have the freedom to freely free ourselves from the oppression of people who put paper signs on telephone poles.
sounds like we should post those fliers everywhere then
That's a really good point. If it's such a terrible crime, let the public see it and decide for themselves.
Make sure your fliers state, "Thoughtful gifts for our brave ICE agents are appreciated!"
That's some 5D, non-euclidean chess right there. Start a charity that only pays out to ICE veterans who make less than the standard retirement amount, so it only covers those who are unable or unwilling to do the job. Restrict the posters to photos and names only so it's clear that the charity isn't soliciting hostile action against ICE agents but still gives potential victims enough information to evade most assaults. The "Blue Lives Matter" mob probably wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. Even if they do, the resultant infighting will still distract from their potential targets.
"For just a dollar a day, you can save this ICE agent, John Smith, and his family from a life of poverty if he ever leaves. He gave everything. Please just give something."
