  1. Your mom should spank you and give you some tough love little Jimmy.
  2. Just say you hate brown people. It'd save you a lot of the mental gymnastics you do to lick the boots of a guy who wouldn't piss on you if you caught fire.
  3. The brutality of this attack is shocking (but not surprising). Destroying homes, lives, a building, the rule of law, the rights of both citizens and non-citizens. "Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers, she said." Cindy Hernandez reports: Dan Jones was jolted awake around 1 a.m. Tuesday to the sound of federal agents trying to break through his apartment door. They couldn’t get past his double lock, so he went back to bed. But when he woke up hours later for work, he walked out and found broken doors littering the hallway — and his neighbors missing. Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building. Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked, residents and witnesses said. Agents approached or entered nearly every apartment in the five-story building, and U.S. citizens were among those detained for hours. When he got home from work, Jones said he entered his unit to find all of his electronics and furniture missing, and all of his clothes and shoes thrown on the floor. Jones said he had no idea who took his belongings and hadn’t received answers from Chicago police. “I’m pissed off,” Jones said. “I feel defeated because the authorities aren’t doing anything.” On Wednesday, toys, shoes and food were still in piles in the building’s hallways. Property managers were seen throwing mattresses and broken doors into dumpsters. The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid. DHS said some of those arrested “are believed to be involved in drug trafficking and distribution, weapons crimes and immigration violators.” The feds also claimed the South Shore neighborhood was “a location known to be frequented by Tren de Aragua members and their associates,” but DHS gave no evidence to support the assertion, and authorities did not confirm that any of the people arrested were members of the Venezuelan gang. Alleged Tren de Aragua members have been charged and detained in the city as recently as August. But the Chicago Sun-Times has found little evidence tying them to violence in Chicago. Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties. Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go. “I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up,” Johnson said. “I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.” Video taken near 75th Street and South Shore Drive showed federal agents in large vehicles gathered on the street near the building. Some wore U.S. Border Patrol uniforms. Others had FBI logos. A spokesperson for Chicago’s FBI field office confirmed the bureau was present to support a “targeted immigration enforcement operation” carried out by Border Patrol. The raid is one of the largest operations executed since President Donald Trump’s administration announced the launch of “Operation Midway Blitz” on Sept. 8, bringing a flood of federal immigration officers to the Chicago area to conduct raids and arrests. A similar raid was carried out in suburban Elgin, when agents led by U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem rode in a military vehicle and blew down the front door of a home where they detained six people, including two U.S. citizens. In the South Shore raid, neighbors said federal agents used flashbang grenades to burst through the building and several drones and helicopters were deployed. Ebony Sweets Watson, who lives across the street, said it “looked like hundreds” of agents were outside her front door. Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers, she said. “It was heartbreaking to watch,” said Watson. “Even if you’re not a mother, seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.” Watson said she went into the building to help one of the residents and was shocked by what she saw. “Stuff was everywhere,” said Watson. “You could see people’s birth certificates, and papers thrown all over. Water was leaking into the hallway. It was wicked crazy.” Jones, who lives on the fourth floor, said most of his neighbors were Venezuelan and often took turns cleaning the hallway because the property owners did little to maintain it. “They were cool people,” Jones said as he looked into his next door neighbor’s unit. “They didn’t speak a lick of English, but we used translator apps to talk to each other.” Jones wondered what would happen to his neighbor’s young children. Jones and Johnson said they believed the landlord would kick out the remaining residents from the building, which public records show had previously received code violations. Owners of the property could not be reached for comment. Brandon Lee, a spokesman for the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, said the group was working to identify those taken in the raid. “It was a violent show of force in the middle of the night,” Lee said. “Taking families out of an apartment building in a residential neighborhood like that is harmful, is traumatic, and that is not something that people can easily recover from, whether they themselves were taken or whether they witnessed it.” https://chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/2025/10/01/massive-immigration-raid-on-chicago-apartment-building-leaves-residents-reeling-i-feel-defeated?fbclid=IwY2xjawNLflJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFhZExtMmM4MUtBZ1dodVpNAR6oAqhWaG4MxJ14dccxgTB5dc7fPtAsEwa_ZhOZ2QUQ5apg2qRpQxz4yxjEtA_aem_giZ427FGB7QGZr4fgiu-zA
  4. It's not specifically care for illegal immigrants, it's just not turning them away for emergency room services, because you know, human decency and not letting people die. Fuck you if you think that turning somebody away like that is acceptable.
  5. I think you're wrong. If people wanted to immigrate somewhere to commit crimes why would they come here and do it? There's other places that have more lenient or barely functional justice systems. Most see economic opportunities here or that they won't be killed for existing, so that's why coming here and facing a chance of being deported isn't the worst thing. Yes you take the bad with the good, but the vast majority just want to make money and not die. The minority of them are the type who bring their problems with them here.
  6. Everything is a remake or reboot these days. Almost no original ideas.
  7. Tom Cruise. After the first two Mission Impossible movies it just went off the rails. Good thing he has his Scientology slaves.
  8. If you did watch it, you'll notice the misquote. But as long as it fits your smooth brain narrative....
  9. He'll be over 70 when he gets out. But yeah you're right.
  10. Look at ROI on this. It's a losing proposition. Instead of targeting actual criminals and doing real police work, we're going after people who arguably are a huge part of the economy. Now we spend money to hire, equip, train and operate the ICE guys, and they go arrest guys selling corn on the street. Then what? We have to pay more money to detain, house, feed and give this person legal counsel and we have to pay for all of that, then the costs to convene a court hearing, then if they get removed we have to pay for that too. I don't know the exact figures, but to me that seems like a net loser. The alternative is to stick to what Biden was doing which was to prioritize and target criminals who are involved with drug trafficking and other serious crimes. Unless you think being present and working here without authorization is worth the effort to do all of that. Most importantly, what do we as citizens gain from it? Nobody seems to be able to answer this.
  11. I don't think you watched it and it also says nothing about giving healthcare to illegal immigrants. I'm ok with hospitals not turning away people with medical emergencies based on their citizenship status or ability to pay.
  12. So chasing down and spending time and resources to go after people who don't commit crimes and otherwise just work and contribute to the economy is a good thing?
  13. San Diego State dropped in 1981 but added it back in 1992 and dropped again in 1994. Somebody who shall not be named was I think their last and possibly only All American.
  14. You can't expect little Jimmy to understand math. That's beyond his grade level.
