The Ice Storm

Funny story. Years ago I posted this little story about something that happened a little ways from where I lived.
It involved ICE Agents, Homeland Security and someone who called himself ” Officer Friendly”
Officer Friendly trolled my blog and tried to leave his stupid misspelled on purpose comments. still have the hard copies with that info. In case your’re curious I know he was ACTUALLY in law enforcement because I had a thing called Site Meter and LOL it gave me  his IP addresses and  his never  published comments. I still have the hard copies with that info.
Anyway Officer Friendly was mad because I wouldn’t post his comments ( other blogs he had trolled over this story DID) . I mean. I didn’t have too publish what he said. Plus at the time my blog was full of short stories and pictures of David Tennant so NO I didn’t want this tool’s spew in there.
 Officer Friendly sat behind me with his gun at a community meeting   about the Ice Agents, and at that meeting someone from the City Council told the press where I lived and I learned that the world is full of effing cowards. The most progressive Democrats both elected and non-elected were scared shitless about what was going on at my little blog and that includes my Congressman.
So I was on my OWN. They wouldn’t have spit on me if I was on fire to put out the fire  and trust me, that’s what I felt like was happening. But these Democrats were scared.Do you get it? THEY were scared.
I thought we all learned something back then.
But guess what. here I am watching the same shit happen on steroids and not only are bloggers being targeted, so is the media. Upside, since then I’ve gotten better at writing, I know WAY more about politics then I used to and I have zero fucks left to give. So I’m going wade into the issue here. I guess I’ll go ahead and talk about this because the issue never went away- it only got bigger and much, much worse.
I think I’ll be writing about that soon- and for giggles I’ll be posting the trackers showing DHS trolling my blog. Did you know their servers were in Kansas? Now you do.
ORIGINAL POST HERE

ICE agents set up at least two checkpoints on  streets in Lynwood last night around 11pm.

They arrested at least 6 Latino  men.

Legal observers spotted white vans unmarked at the Lynwood Police
Department (this coincides with the reports we have from witnesses). We are
going to continue with our plans to monitor in Lynwood in the mornings the
next couple days but now at mainly at the Police Department.

( from an action alert )

Before I left for work this morning I checked my wallet to make sure I had a copy of my Social Security Card, a pay stub and a copy of my birth certificate.

Why?

Because the ICE Men are staying at the Hotel down the street from where I live and I look Latina- I’m Filipina but I figure to these guys we all look the same.

And then I thought…you know what, bite me.

Bite my multicultural backside

And I left it all at home.

Bastards.
