"You're Dead, Liberal": Federal Agent Threatens to Shoot Veteran (The New Republic)
“You’re Dead, Liberal”: Federal Agent Threatens to Shoot VeteranFederal agents in Chicago, alongside Trump’s Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, feel empowered to do whatever they want.

A federal agent blatantly violated a court order against using excessive force against journalists and protesters last Thursday by pointing a gun in a veteran’s face, saying “Bang, bang” and “You’re dead, liberal.”
The Chicago Headline Club, a nonprofit representing journalists in the Chicago area, filed a complaint in federal court after the incident, which took place in the city’s Little Village neighborhood. Local residents had gathered to observe and protest a large presence of federal agents in the area, and Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino did not respond well or care to take the earlier court order into consideration.
According to the complaint, combat veteran Chris Gentry was “lawfully standing on the side of the road voicing his opposition as agents were driving by in their vehicles.” That’s when an agent pointed a gun at him and threatened to kill him.
That was just one of many shocking incidents that day. Bovino also allegedly threw a tear gas canister into a crowd of protesters, who, according to the complaint, were not violent or committing any crimes. Some of the protesters attempted to talk to Bovino and other federal agents there and were rebuffed. Bovino and his colleagues instead shoved several people and threw more tear gas canisters at them, according to the complaint.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for ICE agents' lives allegedly being threatened--
and little doubt that it has happened in a nation of over 300 million people
where these ICE agents are acting like fucking NAZI GESTAPO Agents
blatantly violating the liberties and human rights of even American citizens!
REAL patriotic Americans won't stand for this shit, forever---
and any ICE agent who is actually a DECENT HUMAN BEING and a DECENT AMERICAN,
Should RESIGN from this job rather than take commands from the NAZI-IN-CHIEF,
and his Gestapo cabinet!!!

Ironic this happened in Chicago. What's the Chicago way you ask? They pull a knife, we pull a gun. They put one of ours in the hospital, we put one of theirs in the morgue.
