Helping 1 guy out of the snow does not fix the 32 dead folk.

    Tryinng to sell an act of basic human decency as something worthy of applause is not the kind of PR they think it is.

    That ICE guy totally didn’t know how to use the jumper cables. “With help from another community member”, pictures with ICE guy standing around watching.

          I was thinking they’d clamp them to the guys nipples. That or just beat him with them.

        “Here, buddy. Hold this one in that hand and that one in the other hand. You want to make sure the metal doesn’t touch, so you should probably hold on tight to the copper tips so you know they can’t touch each other. OK? You have a good grip? Good. I’ll connect my leads to the battery now.”

          What??? No!

          Dead batteries can off-gas hydrogen sulfide, which can be explodey. Also, you don’t know what issues a “dead” battery might be experiencing. There could be a broken post, which could lead to sparks inside of the battery. This is why if there’s going to be a spark, you’d rather it be on the battery that’s less likely to emit hydrogen sulfide, and you want to be away from the battery that’s more likely to go boom or spray.

          So, connect the hot dead nipple first, then the hot live nipple. Then the live common (negative, neutral) nipple, and finally, some grounded spot on the dead body. This way, you can avoid sparks near the dead nipples, and possible explosions.

          To further the human body metaphor:
          One of the reasons you connect the negative jumper cable to bare metal on the car instead of the negative battery post is that terminals corrode and you might not get a good connection with an alligator clamp, but something grounded to the car probably has a decent connection. Similarly, the reason you place AED pads so far from each other on someone is because you’re creating a setup where the heart is somewhere within that path. Could you use less power and cause less damage if the pads were more local to the heart? Yes. But you can’t guarantee accurate placement. So, you pump up the juice, and use any somewhat adjacent known “grounding” point.

      Lmao, I missed that but this is a surprisingly honest way that they phrased this (while trying to infer otherwise).

    “With help from another community member”??? They don’t know how to jump start a car? Who the fuck needs help connecting TWO battery terminals? This is just bizarre, and probably fake anyway.

    Shakobee is the county seat of Scott County. Guess who won in that county the last three presidential elections.

    What a nice wholesome interaction with the masked paramilitary kidnap force.

    Imagine, if this really happened, this guy didn’t know who they were and didn’t know anything about ice and was like “I really appreciate you guys who are you guys anyway?”

    “We’re ice”

    “Oh I don’t know who that is. What brings you to town?”

    “We’re here to kidnap men, women and children and put them in cages”

    “Uh…”

    “Yeah, you hear about that guy who got held down and shot in the back of the head execution style?”

    “I did hear something about that. We’re you there to help him…?”

    “Haha. No, we’re the ones that shot him. That’s why we wear these masks”

    “Oh I thought you had those because it’s cold”

    “Haha no no no no. It’s because we don’t want people to be able to identify us and hold us accountable for our crimes.”

    “Uh…I really gotta go”

    “Sure thing buddy. Hey, before you go. You don’t happen to know any brown people do you?”

    “Nope, sure don’t. Gotta go. Byeee!”
