Pastor being shot by ICE
Chicago Pastor Sues Trump Admin After Allegedly Being Shot by ICE Agents
A Chicago pastor injured during demonstrations outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has joined a sweeping federal lawsuit filed on Tuesday challenging the Trump administration’s response to protests in the city.
Jesus Christ people! .... wear safety glasses .... that shot hit the top of his head, a couple inches lower and it would have hit his eye ... and all this was just random. The shooter just off handedly pointed the gun at the pastor and the pastor was just moving around .... if both shot and person had lined up perfectly by chance, the pastor would have lost an eye.
If one of those non-lethal rounds hits you square in the eye ... there's a high chance you'll lose that eye. It also looks a 'pepper round', a small ball that breaks, explodes and releases irritant pepper. If that ball hits your eye, it damages your eye and now you have irritant pepper stuff in there.
Don't just look for regular safety glasses - you need high impact resistant safety glasses (if you get just any old regular safety glasses, they won't protect your eyes) .... get ones with the following rating
Z87+ ANSI Certified for High Impact (noted the '+' sign ... it needs to be there for 'high impact' rating)
This kind of glasses is meant for working around woodworking, steel or machinery equipment where you could have high velocity objects flying around ... here's a quick demo of what means ...
This is all insane because I work in construction, building, shops, woodworking and machinery shops all my life. I'm no pro but I do know that every time you step into these places, owners and managers provide the most basic safety equipment because they don't want to be sued if anything happens .... and so many dangerous things can happen when you have high speed things spinning around that can throw metal, glass, wood or heavy plastic around like a shot gun blast.
Yet, government and officials are willing to expose the general public to these same dangers without so much as a warning or explanation to people to let them know what could happen to them. Fuck this world is devolving fast.
And if you do decide to take them to a protest or event where you might be in danger but law enforcement might take them away from you or use it as a sign to target you ... get the tinted kind (something stylish) so that you can just pass them off as sunglasses.
Any brands that are reputable?
Or inversely, are there brands that advertise that rating but aren't actually legitimate?
Any hardware or tool store will have some. The only place you'd have to worry about getting fakes from are online stores. But even then I'd imagine it's pretty rare given how cheap the real ones are.
And remember, you dumbfuck young people of the USA... always remember...

Boy oh boy, you sure taught everyone a lesson... by sitting home in your lazy mediocre ass, diddling with your purity, then lovingly, distractedly sniffing your goddamned mediocre fingers of your blood-soaked hands.
Vote for a woman?!!
When PIGS FLY!!!
I'd rather see goose-stepping tattooed rednecks marching down my street, than see a woman in the Oval Office!
After a quarter of a century starting with baby bush, a fed-up world has finally lost all faith in you.
CONGRATULATIONS. "Mission accomplished".
I agree with the sentiment but I wouldn't just attribute that to young people. We have dumbfuck old people here too.
there are more dumbfuck people than non-dumbfuck people. The chances of someone being a dumbfuck is too damn high.
Boy oh boy, you sure taught everyone a lesson... by sitting home in your lazy mediocre ass, diddling with your purity, then lovingly, distractedly sniffing your goddamned mediocre fingers of your blood-soaked hands.
Oh shit, I thought you were describing Merrick Garland.
Dog... MAGA has been telegraphing their moves for over a decade. When WE got the democrats and Biden into power, they sat on their asses and did zero work to mitigate or anticipate the Trumpist fascism that was hurdling towards them at 1000 miles an hour.

Tiny hands memes and outraged blogposts count as NOTHING.
ICE did this sort of shit in 2017, and now you let it happen again on turbo and steroids.
These goons let you know exactly what was on their agenda on January 6, 2021, and still you enabled them completely, as a treat, as a reward. Non-voters gave them the keys to the house, so they can shit on everyone's bed and kitchen, everywhere BUT the toilet.
Of course, it's someone else that suffers, not the non-voting idiots sharing "sleepy Joe" memes and "Bernie would have won" comments.
Someone else's young child gets thrown into a cage.
Someone else get the rubber bullets in the face.
But the non-voter sees how the horizon seems to be at the same distance in every direction... concludes that therefore he/she must be right at the center of the known universe! Such enlightenment. So special!
Is this the anti-Christian violence I've been hearing so much about?
What did they shoot him with? Looks like paintball or something. Wont kill you but that shit will rip your scalp apart.
Yeah, depending on the gun and what it's chrono'd at, that can absolutely fuck you up. Knowing that ICE isn't concerned with wasting air or causing bodily harm (and gets off on the cruelty), you know they've got everything cranked up to the max.
Very Christian of them
Can we talk about the guy in scrubs pulling his shirt up? Bro is turning the other cheek. I'm not a believer, but I respect the shit out of that sort of commitment to empathy.
I'm not your whipping boy. You're fighting a made-up goblin in the center because you don't want to fight the real goblin on the right - you'd just rather bitch and blame. typical.
cowards with guns.
probably backed up by some chickens in choppers.

That takes me back to the days before the word “meme” was used outside of sociology classrooms.
