    Wtf does ICE need with APCs?

    Are they that terrified of normal people just trying to earn a living?

      They’re protecting us from all those immigrants who rob, rape, and murder us whenever we leave our homes.

      I’ve been robbed, raped, and murdered three times in the last week, and I’m getting tired of it. I need to get ICEd up.

    Hey Canada, if you could sabotage these somehow so they’re useless and ICE becomes easier targets for American citizens that’d be awesome.

      According to another comment on this thread they are Ford trucks, so it might be hard to tell the difference between sabotage and just plain Ford-iness.

      Canada is a big weapons supplier to Israel, the modern day Nazis. If that does not break their code of conduct nothing will.

        Canada’s code of conduct is “We’ll fuck anything up for money.” See also our mining corporations, oil companies, etc.

      Alternately, do sell it, but make sure it’s guaranteed to fail and become an expensive paperweight upon first use. I’d prefer your option, but I’ll take mine if I can’t get yours.

        The failure option is better because it takes money from their budget and sends it to Canada, even if it’s to a soulless corporation.

      Which would accomplish nothing. They’ll just buy from Putin indirectly.

        This reasoning, “I’ll do the bad thing because if I didn’t someone else would,” could justify anything. If that’s your moral standard, it’s effectively no moral standard. Whether it’s an individual or a country, someone has to step up and act better than the worst.
