Ohh, I think I see what happened. The up close angle makes it clear that "dangerous" man was trying to assist two unarmed women who were being assaulted by federal fascists after they made the fatal mistake of... maybe saying something mean (? I guess) or disrespectfully blowing whistles on a public street and trying to walk away.

I guess Americans should really know better than to try and deescalate when fascists are in the middle of having such a fucking ball assaulting their neighbors.

Note to all the "white knights" out there (not the ones who traded their hoods and crosses for a government issued mask and gun, just the ones that respect women): be careful not to cross the sexually frustrated terrorists when they're out there working through their issues with women. They've been training their whole lives for the day somebody would actually pay them to put a woman in her place when she gets a little too sassy. It's not fair for you to spoil it for them. /s

What the fuck were those broads thinking anyway? They must have known there would be fatal consequences for their actions. I mean really, imagine the audacity of just walking right up to and disrespectfully whistling at a white supremacist on a public street in 2026.

So basically the opening scene of V for Vandetta, but the guy wasn't V

I've never actually seen the movie, but I'm pretty sure every ICE agent is the guy who (somehow) believes they're the Guy Fawkes in this situation.
