Students say man threatened to shoot them during anti-ICE protest in Santa Clarita

There is a video of the confrontation at the link below.   Adults threating young people for using their constitutional right is horrifying and shows the republican party is entirely demanding a one party rule that only supports maga views.  Anything else must be destroyed.  Hugs

An anti-ICE protest turned scary for students as a man pulled up and allegedly threatened to shoot them. 

Saugus High School students can be seen on video running away from a black truck during an anti-ICE protest at Central Park on Tuesday afternoon. 

What they’re saying:

Witness Rebecca Hindman, who runs the social media group “Rise Up SCV”, was stopped at a nearby light and approached the students.

“That’s when I found out there was a young man in a red sweatshirt who is a senior at Saugus and that the gentleman in the car had threatened to shoot him in the face,” Hindman told FOX 11.

No gun can be seen in the videos, but students insisted the man threatened them.  After initially running away, they went back to the truck to confront the man.

“I’m like what are you doing, why are you doing this, you shouldn’t be threatening children that’s not ok. He just was abstinent and seemed to be getting a kick that he threatened children. That he threatened a Hispanic child with potential death,” Hindman added. 

“From the videos I’ve seen, something was definitely used to threaten him. I don’t know what because the initial reaction of the students that were there was definitely fear.”

Dig deeper:

The LA County Sheriff’s Department said no gun was found.

They also issued the following statement, “Responding deputies canvassed the area but were unable to locate the male adult. The Deputies contacted the involved parties at the scene, and the incident was documented. Investigators are continuing to pursue leads and are contacting additional witnesses as part of the ongoing investigation.”

Local perspective:

Hindman said a threat to shoot students near a campus that experienced a mass shooting on November 14th, 2019 is especially disturbing.

Don’t be worried or afraid, I am just expressing the thoughts in my head

I went out shopping early this morning.  Then I came home and after putting the stuff away I did all the dishes.  It was not a lot but three days worth and last night I cooked a good meal.  I am washing all the bed linens and all the towels in the chairs / places that Tupac lays on.  So as I try to do they cartoon  / meme post for tomorrow …. My mind is fractured.   So these songs are in my mind.  Sorry if this hurts anyone.  Also remember I am not in danger of self-harm.  I won’t do that to all of you who I respect so much. Hugs or best wishes to all as you appreciate the gesture.   The songs below are shattering my thoughts.   I walk alone, and I wish for the sound of silence.  Oh, to have the thoughts in my mind stop! I desperately wish for it. I have not eaten yet today, nor did I after breakfast yesterday and Ron has called me 3 times asking me to eat.  Even telling me to order something if it is more pleasing to me.  I just can’t.  I bought salad stuff today so maybe a salad later.  I am so confused. I had four more ready to post and suddenly realized it was useless.   Is my life useless?  I do good things.  My husband loves me.  His cat sleeps pressed up against me at night, yet even last night as I struggled to sleep and he moved up onto my pillow I took no comfort from him.  I am feeling so numb inside when I let myself feel anything at all because the government is forcing my pain doctors to reduce my medications despite the new MRI showing severe and increased damage to my spine.  My doctors say it my be necessary for me to do surgery to get relief because RFK Jr. has determined that all pain clinics lower their clients morphine equviancy to less than 100.  Those who do not feel chronic pain or live in long pain because they dont hve to suffer … well illegal drugs all of a sudden get a hollier than though about drugs.  Seriously, this former drug adic is restricting needed medication from people like me with seriously damaged spines and no contributions to his campaigns.   But drugs from a qualified pain doctor can mean the difference between living a quality life and suffering in even more agony. Hugs

I am sorry.  I do not not want to worry anyone or cause fear.  But I feel so… out of sync with the world.  I just hurt.  It is part physical and a lot emotional.   The MRI  I had just had showed many parts of my lower spine are showing far more damage than my doctors had thought.   They thought I had a few more years before surgery. I cannot afford surgery.   The MRI moved many of my lower vertebrae from the moderate to severe to extremely severe zone.  One the report said was in civilian terms destroyed.  The bone matrrial decaded, the inside soft stuff pushed out and the nerves were caught by the edges of the jagged edges of the bones both being forced out and being pinched and being pinced inside as I moved.  It is why I cannot sit in my chair very long.  Ron is going to get me an air seat when he gets home but I doubt it will help. I am sitting here thinking of why when my spine shows ever more damage the government is requiring that my pain doctors reduce everyone’s pain medications.  Just because the former coke addict RFK Jr dosent feel the crippling pain that people like me do doesn’t mean he gets to stop our pain medication or at least shouldn’t.  All that does is force us on to illegal drugs to get relief.  I wonder if that is the point all along.  Think of it, all the  friends in pain suddenly not able to vote would change the election in plenty of ways.  Hugs

Sorry, but I keep repeating the songs over and over.  Hugs

Every body hurts.  But today I hurt terribly. Sorry.   Now I have to go struggle to make the bed because I washed the bed sheets.  More pain. Hugs

New Jersey elementary school students run from ICE

Frightened little kids who are U.S. citizens are running from agents of their own government because their skin color is brown instead of white.  My childhood was full of fear.  It is horrifying and in the case of these children it is complete bigotry and racism directed by Nazi wannabe Stephen Miller.  

What is wrong in this country where adults think terrorizing little kids because of their skin color is acceptable?  I cannot accept this. I cannot accept terrified children running from adults just because of skin color!  What are we, apartheid South Africa?  This video is horrific!  Only racists could like seeing this.  Hugs

The Department of Homeland Security has brought on a 21-year-old social media professional from the Department of Labor to help run its communications channels — despite internal concerns about N*zi-coded content he previously posted.

According to The New York Times, Peyton Rollins moved from digital content manager at the Labor Department to a key role in DHS communications this month.

His name is Peyton Rollins. C’mon.

This kid has definitely killed small animals.

Could central casting find a more inbred Nazi looking 21 year old?

There were masks on the walls in a room on Epstein Island what had a dentist chair in the middle. Howard Lutnick [current Sec of Commerce] lived next to Jeffrey Epstein on 71st St and both their homes were owned by Les Wexner. #TheEpsteinClass

 

Republicans love immigrant #PeterThiel and his rampant drug use. Republicans look right past his homosexuality. Republicans love his Big Government Palantir tracking your every move.

This all shows that it’s not about invasive, gay, immigrant, ketamine addicts. All that matters is who serves fascist white nationalism.

Billionaire sex abusers get more than due process, they get Republican protection.

Seeking admission: How a federal appeals court in Texas decision supercharged ICE

This is why anyone detained by ICE is shipped to Texas as soon as possible.  The conservative appeals court ruled all detainees in the country can be treated like they were detained at the border.  That is not the law, but the court is racist.  So once in Texas the kidnapped people lose the right to challenge their being held where in the rest of the country they can.  ICE is so desperate to deny people their constitutional rights in an effort to make the US a white ethnostate and cement white majority rule for as long as possible.  Hugs.  

‘A feature, not a bug’: Trump admin’s pattern of hiring people with extremist views

ICE is cracking down on US citizen protesters with charges, tracking

Horrific abuse of civil rights.  ICE is trying to scare people.  People have legal right to protest and to follow / record ICE gang thugs.  The ICE gang thugs have no authority to arrect citizens as they do not have police powers.  Again are we a free people, do we have rights anymore?  Hugs
