Since federal agents surged into L.A. last year, at least five people have been shot in the eye at protests, with lasting consequences.

    Just to clarify the headline: he went to a No Kings protest to document the government’s response to the protest and was hit in the eye by an ICE projectile. This was state violence against a citizen, not protestors attacking a counter-protestor or agitator.

    Is there a lawsuit? I’m not in America, but taking a protester’s eyes sounds illegal.

      It would if there was a judicial system the went both ways. That’s not the case. Unless you’re already rich or in power you’re not gonna make it.

    Welcome to naziland. Too bad martial law and full on boot-on-neck fascism will be the only response to France-inspired protest actions if executed clumsily.

    Seriously, where were these ICEfucks even raised to think what they’re doing is even remotely okay? Surely the financial benefits of performing their atrocities can’t be good enough compensation…where are they finding the internal motivation to voluntarily be so evil and fundamentally antiamerican? USA must be really good at raising bullies.

      Finding people willing to be fascist goons is never the bottleneck holding back fascism, so the answer is: The same place other fascists do.

      You guys have guns.

      French people get their saline vials (to try and rinse out CS gas) confiscated because the cops get away with it.

        So do the cops. Guns, and drones, and APCs, and tanks, and bombs, and weapons of mass destruction, and no hesitation about using them on citizens. They also have Flock and Palantir, so forget about organizing to take them on.
