The man threatened passers-by, lit a fire and set off fireworks, police said, and was then detained. The building houses an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office.

      Plus pouring a bunch of gasoline and ignoring that. Pretty definitely an anti-ICE protest

    A woman who lives across the street from the building said she ran over to her window after hearing the pop of the fireworks. She said she saw a man pick up a gun, which prompted her to

    Get the heck away from the window? I know that’s what I would do if I saw that shit going down. But no, instead she decided to

    grab her cellphone and start recording a video.

    Yup, peak 2026 right there. In fairness, after selling that video to the NYT she might be able to afford groceries this week.

      If im in a high rise and some dude is down on the street engaging in shenanigans, I’m not going to be super worried that I’ll be targeted.
