    They offered lots of money to join ICE to the worst people. Why is this surprising? They wanted thugs, they got thugs, not Harvard grads.

    The shooter is a 10+ year veteran of the agency. ICE has always been bad and filled with violent nationalists.

    Also, this is far more damning of our education system. It should be difficult to find and recruit that many illiterate people.

    I kinda want to sign up for ICE just to record and leak everything that goes on. I don’t think I’d be able to stomach a second of being around these Nazis though.

      There must be at least some samaritans that joined with this plan in mind. I regret to think that there will never be a way of sorting them from the bastions of evil when they’re brought to courts though.

        Yeah that was one of my fears. Not the courts necessarily, I think you could put together a good defense if you worked with a reputable reporter to leak. Its more I would feel so ashamed if someone I knew saw me suited up on the news. Even if I wasn’t the one busting skulls.

        Didn’t consider that. I could not in good conscience do that. I’d go as far as a Punisher tatoo, they love that shit too.

    Damn, if only they were qualified, surely things would be better. Sorry, seriously who gives a shit at this point, these people are all nazi scum, i don’t care if they are fat and cannot read, the issue is what they are doing and what they believe.

    To boot, sex harassment accusations emerged, with a source describing to the Daily Mail predatory behavior during training.

    I went to nazi boot camp and they guys there were all nazis

    shocker

    Sorry idr if this from source article or one linked in it:

    Training was slashed from 16 weeks to six, with sit-ups eliminated because recruits couldn’t handle them.

    These nazis are so fucking pathetic in every conceivable way lol

    it would be so much funnier if they weren’t destroying lives and killing people

        In my state the license to become a hair stylist is 7-8 times as long as it takes to become an ICE agent. It also takes about half as long to become a cop instead of a hair stylist. Which begs the should hair stylist get qualified/absolute immunity?

      Considering all the dystopian models the USA is trying out, Idiocracy doesn’t seem that bad in comparison.

    So we fired hundreds of thousands of competent civil servants, including highly specialized scientists and doctors, and hired these stupid fucking losers?

    Awesome. Glad that waste, fraud, and abuse is gone I guess.

    “The explosive Daily Mail report…”

    Not to defend ICE or nothin’, but Daily Fail isn’t exactly known for accurate journalism…
