Brake cleaner, crazy they put that stuff in spray cans…
?
Brake cleaner will eat away paint
Walk by the car and spray it. It’s clear and will take 5-10 minutes before showing damage. Eventually, the message you draw will show up.
A car with messed up paint would have a harder time getting approved to get fixed. If you mess up the engine, then it’s just getting fixed instantly with taxpayer money.
Putting sugar in the gas tank does not work (unless in a movie). You can clog exhaust pipe or penetrate tire.
Bleach is corrosive and will bypass the fuel filter I’ve heard.
You realize that’s why they use mostly unmarked vehicles?
Or rentals depending on the area.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen more calls to puncture the radiator. That would lead to the engine shutting off and being immobilized pretty quickly.
Yes and it’s fast, and quiet in comparison to many other sabotage.
Would puncturing the bottom radiator hose not really leak until the pump starts up? Like it would be a slight drip that could be overlooked/unnoticed and a full stream once on and running. Hopefully after driving away a few miles.
It’s easier to damage radiator (which is preety soft) with a screwdriver.
Yeah that’s why I think radiator damage is the way to go. They will most likely get stuck on the freeway which is a royal fucking pain.
Why do all that? I’d just wedge some oil or gas soaked rags on top of the catalytic converter. Once the car warms up, the vehicle burns down.
I dont want to crawl under a car. Puncturing the radiator is a way to quickly immobilize a vehicle in a way that requires substantial repair. All of these “sugar in th gas tank!” “unscrew their tire stems!” ideas sound fun but they take time and thus make them fantasies. I want something quick and obvious that succeeds.
So break their fucking radiators.

Alternatively you could use a bodkin to puncture the sidewalls of the tire. A bodkin is a little tool used to make fishing flies.
For a moment I thought you wanted to suggest to go medieval on their
assestires.
Water balloons + black oil paint + used motor oil + a handful of course sand = absolute hell on car paint, polycarbonate panes (think security helmet visors or those see through riot shields), and anything with feet that likes to walk around.
They make sand that isn’t coarse, rough, and everywhere-getting?
They make sand that isn’t course and rough.
Arguably the finer stuff is even better at getting into everything.
Is this why modern caltrops ended up on my YouTube FYP?
Sugar in a gas tank is not nearly as damaging as just pouring water in it.
Or diesel, in a petrol car. It’s a heck of a lot less suspicious to be pouring diesel from a fuel can than it is to be pouring a big ol bag of sugar.
My OSS manual recommends sugar, but more than sugar they recommend fine sand

Doesn’t it just clog up the fuel filter because it won’t dissolve in gasoline?
Bingo, and it takes a lot to clog the filter. Plain water is more of a nuisance.
would sugar water do more damage? dissolve and burn with residue in the motor
I’m only an amateur mechanic and a middling chemist, but I’d estimate the amount of sugar water required for the sugar component to have any significant effect on an engine would just keep it from running. Gasoline won’t dissolve water and water is denser, so it’ll settle on the bottom of the tank. A fuel line full of water will kill combustion pretty quick.
I find it interesting that these posts are dated 2019. I don’t remember this being an issue pre-covid.
I remember family separations was a big deal during his first term. And then there was that US citizen teen who was imprisoned by ICE in Texas…
Well I mean the department of homeland security was established like one minute after 9/11 happened and thats who is in charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, so they’ve been fucking around in the rights of US citizens and noncitizens since then
Law nerds: can ironical intent be proven in court?
1000% stealing “ironic intent” lmfao
Think the fbi has officially recognized the term “in minecraft” as possible real intent
Serious answer: The US gov is past using courts or caring what the laws says
Idk but it reminds of that one WKYK sketch.
Which one?
Doesn’t have to be a big hole in the sidewall, you can’t put a plug in it no matter the size so a needle can render a tire FUBAR
Sugar in the gas tank will not ruin the engine, the most it will do is maybe clog the fuel filter.
Bleach on the other hand is an Oxidizer, it will cause certain metals to rust extremely fast…
So they have a long break and taxpayer money is used to fix their car. I don’t really understand that logic.
The longer they are indisposed the longer they aren’t destroying families. It’s not difficult to understand.
So they gotta replace the fuel filter. Still gotta do maintenance
This still assumes access to the fuel tank
We can work backwards and double down on this problem by making sure it remains inaccessible for as long as possible.
Ideally, you would want to weld the fuel hole shut, but that may be impractical. Depositing a cartoonish amount of very strong glue into the fuel cap cover can be a more realistic compromise.
Attempts to regain access may leave the fuel tank vulnerable where it can then be double tapped with bleach.
or just use a flathead screwdriver idk im high
What about that absorbent hell made to clean up tanker truck spills I think I’ve seen some sold to make toilet replacement easier
I’ve never considered what a shitload of silica gel would do inside a gas tank… It can’t be anything good, but I doubt it would get past the fuel filter. The vehicle probably won’t run but the fix isn’t super difficult, just a new fuel tank + pump and you’re good to go.
Pouring it into the oil intake would have much more interesting results but you aren’t getting in there unless a) you have cab access to pop the hood latch, or b) you’re willing and able to destroy so much of the vehicle to access that that whatever you do afterward starts to not even matter.
I’ve always wondered what a diy thermic lance would do to the engine of a usable vehicle
I imagine it would then present you with an unusable vehicle.
Put a BB in the valve stem cap. It’s non-destructive, but will still result in a flat tire. If you super glue the BB, they might end up with several flats before they realize.
I had a tool in highschool that took the valve out of the stem I borrowed from my dads mechanic shop that I put to good use. If there’s a hell I’m probably headed there
The great thing about the BB is that it just lets the air out. All of the other methods are straight up destruction of property, and that’s not a fun charge to catch when that property belongs to law enforcement.
You think they care if there’s a proper charge?

The trick is not to just remove the stem. That’s noticable and will be immediately fixed. Instead, just loosen it a turns. It causes a slow leak they will keep pumping the tire and get the tire itself looked at before they realize their mistake.
A small stone will also work.
In the CAP, you say?
Am I crazy or does everyone in the comments not realize they’re talking about ICE the federal agency?
Well I understand. I’ve seen people say the same kind of shit talking about people’s internal combustion engine cars. There are fanatics in Fuckcars and environmental communities.
There is nothing really in the screenshot saying it’s about the agency.
To me, ICE is a high-speed train. I mean, I could look it up, check what it means in US. But at this point, I am not interested enough.
I just saw this on Tumblr before seeing it here and I was also really confused for a moment.
ICE is jerks.
I though we were talking about German express trains.
You’re as sane is I was in 2019. Looks like 196 has more gearheads than Americans.
What is there to gain from doing this? repairs and possible tows would be even worse if its from an environmental standpoint. Also driving old cars to death is better for the environment than transitioning to new vehicles just because. Reduce and reuse is true for cars too.
It’s about keeping ICE from doing their jobs/harassing immigrants.
That’s a Hell of an understatement! What you meant to say was:
It’s about keeping ICE from illegally renditioning immigrants to foreign gulags.
I know you probably didn’t intend to carry water for the fascists, but I think it’s important to clearly state what’s actually happening so nobody has an excuse not to be aware of how tyrannical the situation is.
ICE is short for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement here, not internal combustion engine.
Oh. Well then.
