GopherGal
(2,880 posts)Given the frauds we're dealing with here, any license plates they may have may come up as "stolen". So the wise course would be to use the VINs to find the actual owners of the vehicles...

Apologies to AI-haters, including myself.
About 95% of my computer art is from real photos or cartoons.
If you throw in my own photography, about 99%.
And TBH, I rarely post any of my own photos, thanks to web scraping by the AI engines.

Kind of like this, but just the surface.

(3,319 posts)it's a "real" image of Jesus. So I was spoofing them - Fox viewers, not DUers!
usonian
(24,711 posts)It's likely that the Real Jesus was a dark-skinned middle-eastern. Today, he'd be in a Los Angeles detention center.
Jesus did play for the Giants.

Along with brothers Felipe and Matty Alou.

(34,282 posts)And Putin and ask what they would do , and they will tell him that theyll just start killing citizens and that will show them.
Hes a real piece of shit, but it all couldve been avoided, in 2016 if there had been a universal understanding of what we were up against and people had supported a certain someone.
It happened again in 2024 apparently even though the election was rigged , look on YouTube Christopher Titus rigged and this is by the way, undeniable information.
flashman13
(2,305 posts)Next take the vehicles to an undisclosed location and refuse to tell the ICErs where to find them. Sort of poetic justice.
Cirsium
(3,813 posts)I couldn't find any legit sources or photos. The story appears to have been started on social media by "Halfway Post" which is the name of a satire website.

Figarosmom
(11,417 posts)I bet some are using their own cars. I hope the towing companies take forever cataloging them so they can't tell the agents where their cars are impounded. And the rack up hefty fi es to get them out. All perfectly legal.
I can hear noem now, oh we'll arrest blah blah blah....
It may be satire, but good ideas spread.

(54,184 posts)This board is becoming overrun with bullshit OPs with hundreds of recs. Even worse is that so many recs come after the OPs have been exposed as bollocks. That and bad faith OP posters who leave up the shite (and also post it in the first place).
Hekate
(100,133 posts)I regret to say I have been snookered by them more times than I care to recall. It isnt funny DU has traditionally been the place where sources have been checked and given by the author before posting. This current trend degrades the site.
Its particularly bad because one goal of RW authoritarians is to make sure people lose all sight of who and what to trust for information. When I joined DU I was fresh off my PhD, and research and verifying were second nature but it was old-fashioned book research. We are in a cyber-world where by now I feel obsolete.
My oldest grandchild is in college and his mother is regrettably a nut who thinks Robert Kennedy Jr. (in my mind BobK or RobK) is Gods Gift. I have been struggling with how to guide this young man in, well, developing a bullshit-meter. The other day I finally gave him DUs address, saying that we might be old but we check our sources and realized too late that I no longer know if that is true.
You really hit a nerve, as you can tell.

NOTE: The claim that tow truck drivers in LA are stalking ICE convoys to tow their vehicles is likely false. The Halfway Post, the source of the claim, is a satirical website known for humor, not facts. No credible news reports, such as from the Los Angeles Times or CNN, confirm this

(60,050 posts)If something seemed too good to be true, it probably was.
Of course, where I grew up, some of the roads, including ours, werent paved yet. Maybe it was different where yall could read and write
LPBBEAR
(650 posts)to see if they belong to the vehicles they are towing. I recently caught a video someone had taken from a hotel balcony where ICE agents were casually switching plates on their vehicle. I assume there is a California law against using plates not legally registered to the vehicle.
Lock those Nazi's cars up and make ICE walk to their kidnappings and abductions!

(13,680 posts)should be taken into custody and held until they disclose their identities and who gave them the orders to randomly round up non Caucasians . This kind of shit turned out poorly for the Gestapo. We thought they were silenced in 1945.
