Remember, you have president George W. Bush to thank for ICE. The shit Republicans did after 9/11 is why Americans are getting shot with impunity by federal gestapo fucks in the streets.

Fun trip to Madera Canyon AZ today. Chilly, but plenty of birds and other wildlife out and about.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.
Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

Not one of these clowns was in danger. Giving guns to racist crackheads with a chip on their shoulder, who would have thought it would end in murder?

Wondering if anyone can come up with a shark ID from this photo? Shot in the Florida Keys, bay side near Big Pine Key. I was guessing Lemon Shark. This was shot from a ways off. I'd estimate the dorsal fin -tail fin as ~5ft.
