Greg Bovino tries to Take a Bathroom Break at St. Paul Target Store -- It Does Not Go Well

Raw Story has a rather uplifting story about how Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino needed to take a break from his usual routine of harassment and intimidation today (Sunday) to answer a call of nature in a St Paul Target store, accompanied by a number of his masked and heavily armed goons. It did not go over well at all with the startled shoppers there:

Surveilling people to make sure they purchase stuff.

Who's to say one didn't change one's mind, after using the PUBLIC restroom?

(I'm familiar with what you mean.)

8. This is the response ICE agents should expect and get anywhere they go now. Resist loud, call them out.

Potential slaughter.
Should have used a gas station rest room.

Idiots.

Maybe there's something actually wrong with you.



I like how he almost stops when the guy says "If you didn't have that badge and gun I'd beat the shit out of you." This is a guy that was humiliated in keg party and parking lot fights in high school, I absolutely guarantee it.

I'm not sure which, and maybe it was a little of both. I loved him, but I was also terrified for him, because we all know how dangerous those goons are.

The weirdest moment, to me, was the way they stopped and turned around to face the crowd after walking out of the store. Wtf was that all about? Why the hell did they linger like that, instead of just continuing to their car and leaving? It almost seemed like they were daring those people to make a move toward them so they could have an excuse to open fire. I was so relieved when they finally turned around and walked away.

I wonder what those guys were expecting when they signed up for that gig. Did they think they were going to be big heroes, lauded by one and all for ridding the U.S. of the dread brown scourge of "illegals"? I have heard enough Trumper rants about Biden's so-called "open border" and all the millions of "criminals" who crossed it and are supposedly now living off welfare and/or committing violent crimes in all of our big blue cities (Which is it, pea brains? Make up your tiny minds!) to know how they think, and I can't help believing that most of those who sign up for this must be of that ilk.

Those goons looked ridiculous trooping through Target with all their riot gear and weapons. What a pathetic bunch of phonies, trying to show everybody how bad ass they are, when they're really just a pack of scared little puppies with their tails between their legs, trying to look all big and strong with their helmets and weapons and body armor (?), strutting through the store with that exaggerated "tough guy" gait and their shoulders all set to look as big and broad as possible, looking like the "made up, fake, wannabe law enforcement" we all know them to be!

The "Get the fuck out" guy was right. They need to get the fuck out all right, out of our cities and out of our lives. Get the fuck out, ICEholes!
