    Glad you brought up radical action. DAMN was erecting hard barricades to completely block ICE from entering or leaving areas, i.e. the day Alex Pretti was murdered people moved a dumpster into the street to prevent ICE from leaving, and set it on fire to prevent it from being moved.

    We were also forming soft barricades with our bodies and homemade shields. We also disrupted the flow of capital towards corporations coordinating with ICE by picketing their distribution centers and turning away truckers.

    I’d argue that these efforts are more important and more impactful than uncoordinated vandalism.

    Other people and groups participated in wakeups, where people violate noise ordinances late at night near the hotels ICE is staying. This did involve the exact type of vandalism you’re talking about.

      I woundn’t, you didn’t effect the decision makers when you did that, you just hit the arm that was built to take those hit and they hit back. My whole point is that your not going far enough and frankly you can organize those destructive elements like you did there into something that will actually hurt these bugmens pocketbooks.

        Got it, so instead of meeting the moment in the area we live, we all need to abandon our vulnerable people and vacate the area to commit mass vandalism at the capitol 1200 miles away?

          See your not listening, ASSETS, the things these people OWN. Your willfully not listen. You don’t need to go all the way to the capital to hit things like this. But clearly you just want to win the argument. BTW I’m done here, Iv been waiting for gov paperwork in this stupid office and my number is next. Hopefully you figure things out and don’t end up in a jail cell forever or worse over something that wasn’t worth it when you could have made it worth it.

            So turning away truckers at distribution centers of collaborator corporations isn’t attacking the assets?

                  Ok, how much did that cost and how long did it go on for, cuz I’m telling you right now it wasn’t the same amount as an emptied office complex getting bomb every other month. And again what your doing doesn’t seem to be dissuading them so far.
