Occasionally I check Nextdoor for community notes. A couple of days ago a person posted an image detailing the new ICE office at 774 Park Meadows Rd in Westerville, Ohio, and so I made the classic mistake—I read the comments.
I did discover 16 commenters who doxxed themselves by publicly pledging support for fascism, brutality and inhumane acts by United States immigration agents.
Warning: These comment **contain misinformation and egregious behavior**.

Yeah, there are a lot of shit people in this state.
There was one anecdote detailing ICE racially profiling and illegally pulling over a citizen, which of course all of the above commenters ignored, which kind of proves their intentions as supporters of fascist policy and action.
