The idea that this kind of armed presence is necessary in Great Barrington - a quaint Berkshires town of artists, aging hippies, and retired dentists - is insane. These agents are dressed like paramilitaries, not police officers. www.berkshireeagle.com/breaking/ice...

1. And always afraid to show their faces.

8. They are cowards.

2. Serious amount of TDE in that picture. n/t

3. Gestapo.

10. Nazi Gestapo.

SOBs.

4. It must be easy and fun for some

To betray our Constitution. It takes work and dedication to maintain it. The easy way out is the Conservatives favorite path.

5. ICE is 'roided out and convinced it's at war with immigrants.

6. Agents? Can't tell from the photo. They look like "militia" on abduction scam. Blue jeans? . . . . . nt

12. Exactly what I thought.

If they were really a real government group they would have all been in some kind of uniform or are we all now supposed to believe that any dick with a gun is from the government? Sure, then we cannot go after a group from our own government for doing anything wrong. So easy now.

7. And I just an article saying Trump put out a EO for hiring 20,000 more police ICE agents!!!

9. How long before one of these thugs

starts shooting as more and more people are getting pissed and are taunting their tactics? It will happen, I fear.

Will we see another "Boston Massacre" that will be the catalyst for an anti-MAGA revolution?

By the way, don't these idiots look stupid? The ass clown in the jeans looks like some drug cartel gunman.

And, has anyone from ICE or Homeland Security explained why they need masks?

[Irish_Dem]

11. They look fake, like they are playing dress up, cosplaying.

[displacedvermoter]

15. But the ARs they are carrying could take down

a dozen folks in 30 seconds should one of these bullies snap. And they would have a pretty good expectation of getting away with it.

[Irish_Dem]

16. They know they are immune from any crimes they commit.

They wear masks, no one knows who they are.
Who they work for.

And Trump would give them a pardon, $$ raise and better job if they murder Americans or immigrants.

13. Perhaps the groups IDing J6th insurrectionists can tell us who these cosplay cowards are.

Make them face their communities and country.
