Charlie Kirk Shot and killed

This is what you said. My critique of your point was appropriate and correct. If you want to rephrase or clarify, feel free.
where did I ascribe the violence against ICE as due to them doing something wrong?

those are two separate things.
MY problem with ICE is related to the HOW of ICE. I have problems with the way they are doing things/being used by politicians. it goes beyond the masks. I have never called for violence against them, masks or not.

The violence against ICE is largely due to the political rhetoric out there. I haven't denied that.

the best way to stop that rhetoric is what I fyp'd about with the politicians needing to change things and stop trying to score political points. thats both sides. neither side will man up and be the first to change, and both sides will drag us down as a nation, rather than change.
 
The ICE agents and their families have the fear and reality of doxing.
A mask helps to reduce that doxing risk.
No idea what your are trying to say in regards to Fauci and the mask as it is not the point of any discussion in protecting the ICE agents.
Same with the stolen valor crap.

Very thankful you do not vote in our elections.
1. ok, that fear and reality has existed before.
2. I really don't see how. especially if there names and ID numbers are out there. If you, or anyone, was going thru any type of data base looking for an individual, are you going to look at millions of pictures blindly hoping to find the exact match? or are you going to go to some database you can sort thru either alphabetically for their name, or just do a quick search for their particular ID number? Yall are worried about the first, which is ridiculous considering you don't have a worry about the second far more likely option.
3. I am showing you how masks are ineffective even if there is some group think behind them that says it works.
4. why would I claim to be ICE in order to satisfy you, its illegal and would be stolen valor on my part.

believe me, so am I. still one of the best decisions of my life.
 
ok, you also left off the ice agent part.

go on the internet and put your name and ICE identification number on there, you will be fine right? if your logic is correct, you have nothing to fear. or better yet, a picture of you in full ICE getup, mask included. see how safe you are.

there being a mask is not what is going to keep them safe. My point is they aren't as protected as you think to begin with, mask or not. like I said you still believe Fauci who says some millimeters thick cloth is going to keep you safe. maybe if we keep 6' apart it will work. or it only works if the bad guy also wears a mask.

and I am pretty dang sure impersonating an officer of the law is illegal, plus whatever stolen valor implications there are. so no, I will not be taking your dumb little poison pill.
Louder, you are conflating two arguments. It's not a good look.
 
Not so much. If they wanted to be ICE agents they'd know the risks and rewards. There's nothing that sets ICE so much apart from other LE agencies that they need anonymity.
Agree that they choose to be ICE Agents, and accept all the risks that come with that choice.

Disagree that there is nothing that sets ICE apart from other LEOs. We have posters here that openly state it’s morally acceptable to “do anything” to them - which is a microcosm.

But, while they should strive to maintain a level of anonymity, I do not support them going masked. And I do support a heavy hand for any that perpetrate violence against them.
 
anyone who thinks the masks makes things safer just needs to go ahead and put their home address, name, and identification number on the forum...

see how dumb that is? and don't worry you can still use your Covid masks, it will keep you just as safe from doxxing as it did from covid.
They shouldn’t be wearing masks.

But of course masks inhibit identification. Odd to argue otherwise imo.

It’s why some have worn masks for centuries.
It’s why Palestinian protestors wear them on campus.
It’s why ICE agents wear them today.

It’s why we’re saying they shouldn’t be wearing them - because it limits identification and accountability.

Well put, but people will rant against about any law enforcement organization at one time or another, especially when that LE group is in the news for being out of line with their tactics. The DEA, ATF, state police on strike duty, etc. have made some folks very angry.

do they still have badge numbers and names present? because yet again, anyone could track them down with that information. We would not be able to track them down any faster if we also had their picture.

the fear yall have is completely made up. yall are focusing on the completely wrong thing, and have no understanding of how things would actually work.

When ICE is searching their own employee databases, do they use pictures to search? Or would ICE use name/ID numbers? if the very agency they belong to isn't going to search for these guys via a picture, why would anyone else?

think about it in your life. Try a reverse image search of your own face, unless you have like a million followers on twitter and post daily, its not going to come up with something. Traffic cams, do they know who to bill off the picture of your face? or do they read the license plate off the back of your car? If you needed to find a contact at a business, are you searching their picture, or their name? in your own company's directory, are you searching that person's face, or are you looking for their name? Does the tax office show a picture when you look up a property owner, or does it just list their name? when someone needs to check who you are, do they just look at your face and go "yup you are who you claim to be?", or are they going to check some form of ID?

unless you want to remove their names & ID numbers, worrying about masks is pointless.

I don’t think most doxers are going through databases to find identifies. They are using internet and social media searches.

If your name is John Smith it may take longer. If you have a more unusual name then more than likely it will be easier to identify and dox.

Re-read the very first sentence of my post, and then blow it out your ass with the “yall”.

You’re just bloviating at this point, which you are prone to.

If the masks are inconsequential, then why are you (and I, genius) saying they need to come off?

That’s true. Though I don’t know we’ve seen the level of vitriol and demonization (e.g., Nazis, slave patrols, etc) that we see from all corners and levels with regards to ICE.

And a good portion of the vitriol can be laid at the feet of the State.

go to google's main page on your phone. take a picture of yourself, let me know what comes back in the search. I did this yesterday, while logged onto Google, with that google account linked to pretty much everything I do; it came back with nothing. I have pictures on facebook, and VN, and various google drives/folders, plus any emails that may have reason to include them. the internet is not nearly as helpful as you want it to be here.

I am also very curious about which SM allows you to search via a picture? they are literally going to have to go thru EVERY single SM account hoping to get lucky.

I can't find a good clip of it but Hot Fuzz: You want us to go thru the entire phone book starting with Aaron A Aaronson?

because they are the government, and should be accountable to us, I was just told they don't wear ID numbers so masks really minimize that. our taxes pay for it, meaning we have a say and a part in it. and generally the good guys aren't the ones wearing the masks. hard to build public trust if you won't even show your face. too much room for shenanigans, see Trump during Covid.

the government will always concern me more than just about anything else. its not our job to justify the government doing something, its the government's job to justify to us why they need to do something. the concerns that have been raised have not been dire enough to override public interests.
 
They have vests that say Police. Their clothing will have Homeland Security or ICE on it. Badges and/or ID cards are provided to the person arrested.
I can get a vest with whatever I want printed on it, willing to bet the cartels can get the real thing. Halloween coming up, plenty of costumes available.

its too little too late after the arrest is made, and doesn't satisfy any form of public interest or protection.

I agree. Worrying about mask is pointless. So why are you against them? If what you claim is true, that the mask don't conceal their identity, then why do you care if they wear them? 🤔

All that said, then why are we in an uproar about wearing mask?

Follow instructions. We need your face and home address. Until then you are at the end of the bench by the water cooler.

Dressing up is very good and fitting for you.
Yes, they are providing the public interest and protection regarding illegal immigrants who have committed crimes in our country.

I understand what you’re saying that a face alone would not necessarily allow anyone to be doxed however it would make it easier to get someone’s name. Once the name is known then it’s much easier to find the person.

Again ICE agents shouldn’t be wearing masks.

I think much of this is correct, they use social media public information like the database Louder mentioned and photos to figure out who officers are. Once they figure out who they are, where they live and have a photo is when things get particularly dangerous for them.

I watched a documentary recently, in this documentary activists had tried for years to uncover who a secretive woman was who put together videos and other propaganda for a White Nationalist movement that was popular in Canada and the Western US.

People had tried for years, I mean the better part of 5 years to find out who she was. What got her doxxed was a photo she included in some propaganda with a cat in it. Doxxers found that same cat on her social media pages.

make sure you warm my seat up for me, you are also not following instructions.

my face and home address are both on this board already. latest photo was from when I proposed October of last year, and the house was posted back in 2023. should be really easy for you to doxx me. I have posted plenty about myself too, what city I live in, my profession, clearly a UT grad, lots for you to go on. impress me. heck, I know my email is on here somewhere too, that would also tell you my initials.

people on this board know me. post my initials here, if you don't want to post my full name. @DinkinFlicka @McDad @Orangeslice13 have met me personally, a couple others know my real name, they should be willing to corroborate your findings if you don't trust me to own up.

I will make a bet with you. If you can get my initials correct the first time, I will agree that ICE can mask up and do whatever they want to protect their identity. when you fail to find out who I am, or don't even follow thru, I won't even ask you to do anything.
