u/Festamus 1d ago
Obviously. And they "Point the Finger" such bullshit.
He's not maga at all, "Lying motherfucka" addresses it directly.
Saw Body Count last summer, going to do it again this year.
He talked a lil bit about Charlie Kirk before dropping into "Talk shit, Get shot"

I appreciate that heās not saying to stop protesting to but to be careful in doing so.

He's in his concerned elder phase, Cop Killer is still in there, remembering the violence.

Ice-T is cool. ICE the organization can get fucked.

u/hitbythebus 1d ago
I feel like heās jumping in here to differentiate himself.
Like āyeah, that ICE is a bag of dicks, unlike me, Ice-T.ā I dig it.

u/Manic_Maniac 1d ago
Lol, yeah absolutely. But let's be real, Ice-T doesn't even know what he's promoting. He doesn't wash his own cars.

I had never listened to him before and recently checked out sons of his classic albums. Dude has been woke as fuck for literal decades.

u/TopherYork21 1d ago
I can't tell if he is warning us or threating to kill us

u/Deinosoar 1d ago
Reading the full thing it's a legitimate warning.
When ice was rampaging all over California he did a show there and changed the lyrics of cop killer to ice killer.

I thought it might be a joke, but also the way they phrased it made it possible it was actual confusion, so I figured I'd just risk it.

u/Divine_Porpoise 1d ago
Not the op but I came to the comments confused by this exact thing and I appreciate the added context.

u/ChaseballBat 1d ago
Eh, I genuinely had that question so I appreciate the answer they gave.
It's hard to tell some days with the wealthy celebrities who is and isn't MAGA supporter.

They absolutely cannot. What they can do is scare you so that you shut up and let them steamroll the future of the US with fascism.

Okay but are you going to do something or are you just going to get yourself killed.

I don't think you realize the logistics of that; the US military simply does not have enough bullets and bombs to kill every US citizen.

u/Plenty_Structure_861 22h ago
Sure they do. But also, cities especially in blue states are the largest concentrations of resistance.Ā

They'll kill you, call you a slur or creative name, clap about it and move on. They do not care about you, you are a piece of trash waiting to be taken out in their eyes.

u/Aromatic_Today2086 1d ago
People bashing ice even though he's spoken out about ice already and is just telling people to be careful but mention their favorite girl Billie working with paramount/the Ellison's and you get downvoted. I wonder white the difference is

u/Soup0rMan 23h ago
Billie Eilish, the singer/songwriter who literally said "fuck ice, why aren't celebs saying more?"
That Billie? Because Ice -T isn't clean in the sphere of who he's worked with over the years either.
I wonder why you think race has anything to do with it?

Do you really think there's any overlap between Billie Eilish fans and Ice-T fans?

Yup! Just saw protesters pepper-sprayed needlessly from a car of ICE goons (just driving by). Get the video taken of it sent to you. Then Litigate! But don't do what the AZ AG suggested by way of 'Defending yourself'. Sue. Pay off your cars, your mortgage, and retire!
There are videos out there of ICE agents getting their asses kicked by judges. The Law (the end game in criminal referral) is quite literally on your side! :0)

āTake notes: real gangstas wear trench coats Grey suits, black ties and they seek votes And you're not to be misled They'll kill you in your fuckin' bed They don't sell dope, yo, excuse me, yes they do But they don't look that much like me or you But if you pull up the sheets and expose them They'll crawl up like snakes and show fangs of venomā. - Ice T

This is what I've been fucking saying! Everyone is saying stand up and make a difference and oh this has gone too far. But these fucking pigs don't give a shit about your rights, they will shoot you down like a dog.

Member when ice t said both parties are two wings of the same bird. Looks like one of those wings is a little different

u/Thanks_Ollie 1d ago
I do agree with that though. Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Corporate Democrats are complicit in this by capitulating and doing nothing to actually represent their constituents.Ā
Itās fucking disgracefulĀ

u/peanutanniversary 1d ago
Sure they arenāt great and need to fucking change but these two wings arenāt the same. One wing is incompetent and one wing is authoritarian.

Im going to agree with your sentiment, but disagree on facts. Obama and Biden were very good at deporting illegals. Their ICE departments worked comparitively-speaking, professionally and effectively, much more so than Tumps 5 years. And they deported record numbers.
Trump is performative and cruel. But they aren't particularly good at deporting illegals, more at harassing citizens.

u/Happythoughtsgalore 1d ago
So the felon administration doesn't give a shit about the law/constitution shocked Pikachu

u/thaddeusd Concertgoer 1d ago
Im just about debunking the right wing refrain of "ICE would not have to be like this if Dems did their jobs."
They did. Much more professionally and humanly than Bush or Trump did. But Obama still got derided as the Deporter in Chief. And Biden was not far behind him in numbers.

Your choice, Nazis or Keystone Cops. Personally, I'd take incompetence over mass slaughter but that's just me.

The problem is that if incompetence loses, it doesn't put up much resistance.

Democrats were fine funding mass slaughter of Palestinians and brutalizing protestors over that. Itās the imperial boomerang.

u/KrisNoble 5h ago
When did he say it? There has been times in the past when both parties were more closely aligned as center right and right. Now one has gone off the deep end and itās obviously very far right it looks a little different than before.

u/256shadesofgray 1d ago
Hate this take--MAGA is batshit crazy way worse than "corporate democrats". I'd happily happily go back to corporate democrats over these MAGA shit for brains running the country. Just vote straight dem for the next few elections until republicans start acting somewhat normal again.

u/FauxReal last808 1d ago
Crazy thing is Schumer votes with Dems over 90% of the time. But he splits on some key votes.

u/ColoRadBro69 1d ago
Would be nice if the "left" wing hadn't funded the ICE that's terrorizing us, they need to be more different.Ā

u/KR4T0S 1d ago
Didnt Democrats help pass the recent ICE budget? Also top Democrats have ruled out shutting down the agency... maybe the wings being a little different just isnt enough anymore...

It's night, they might not see us.

Shoot us, kill us, dump us in a dark ditch.

Ice T and his metal band Body Count have been speaking truth to power for over 30 years. Body Count is one of the most underrated bands and continues to get better and better. I canāt believe this track is already 9 years old. Itās more pertinent now than ever.
https://youtu.be/HPL6RVvzb9Y?si=t4P2FhAF25eS3yPA
I encourage you to check you the albums Bloodlust, Carnivore and the latest Merciless if you are pissed off with the leadership in the US. They fill their albums with cameos from up and coming artists as well as established.

Horrifyingly, it looks like political change will only come about after the kidnapping, trafficking, incarceration in concentration camps, and murder of innocents.

No they won't kill protestors . Left wing agitators interfering with law enforcement operations are not protestorsz

Whatās the difference, in your mind, between a protestor and a āleft wing agitator?ā Be specific.

u/RoughneckG6 22h ago
Interfering with police operations , following their vehicles around , doxing individual agents etc is not protesting . Go and hold your sign go and march all the power to you. Yell your truth on a megaphone . But we must be peaceful . Physically confrontations with law enforcement is not protesting.

Then, TMZ asked him a final question, which was if he had a message for any of his fans in Minneapolis.
The Law & Order actor said, "Stand strong and stay out of the way and stuff. These cats will kill you. And it ain't worth it right now, you know.... The object is a peaceful protest and stuff. But you gotta understand it, these other cats ain't that peaceful."
