Same exact story over here.

Kevin Nelson3 said:They pulled me aside at the entrance after the search, demanding my ID again and telling me to take off my hat before finally letting me through with a "not him." Whatever that was supposed to mean.
Judging by how the cop was gesturing and talking on his radio, I'd say they were targeting people who weren't on their lists. Probably something to do with those videos from Sunday. 🤷
Who knows how it ended, or if anyone actually got told "that's the guy."

My take? They were out to get the locals on Sunday, and during the arrests, they were obsessively checking everyone's home addresses.

Noah Moore67 said:Three of our guys got picked up in New York City this past Sunday along with the Boise crew... hauled off to Brooklyn for a month of detention without a single word explaining why. Can anyone with actual intel or connections tell us what’s going on with them? If we need to pull together some legal funds or help out, let me know. Send names and details via DM. Hard to believe nobody’s even talking about our people.🤷

I only know one guy who got hauled in at the same time we did, but they let us go immediately... why?

Anonymous said:Look, people, start flooding the agencies with messages... We need more public pressure... Everyone needs to know how the Police Department is working for one guy instead of the people... There’s a template ready on the ZZD Facebook pages. Just grab it and send it. Or just write out what you actually think in your own words... We have to make some noise!!! You can't let this injustice slide in silence!

To the gentlemen in the American government,
Why are you letting lawlessness and repression run wild in our capital, a city that’s supposed to be the pride of this nation? Because of one individual or a small clique, the happiness of the majority is being gutted—and most citizens aren't exactly having a great time during this crisis anyway. They’re destroying the joy of young guys from New York City (and the rest of America), along with their families who have to watch it all go down. Ever wonder how much it hurts a mother to see her son beaten just because he pointed out some corruption? Ever think about lying there on cold concrete with a busted head, accused of being some monster when all you wanted was the fairness we all deserve? Can you imagine if one day it’s your kid lying there with a broken skull because someone cared more about money, fame, and Power than truth, and you’re powerless to help? Are you really going to let one person become more important than everyone else just because of some worthless piece of paper? How do you look your kids in the eye while teaching them to be honest, knowing you're turning a blind eye to human rights violations just to protect a status quo? You probably don't get the kind of rage that builds up in people when they know they've been punished and humiliated despite being right. In the end, I hope you find some peace, though I doubt you'll sleep easy with the weight of a thousand ruined lives on your conscience. Wake up while there's still time. Things could be better for everyone. Don't let the system destroy both you and us.
Best, Free Fan

Brian Newman38 said:The issue is when you're facing repression, you feel it on a personal level, not as some "me representing all of BBB."
When they squeeze people like this, you don't feel like it's the Police Department or the mob versus my whole group,
you just feel like it's the mob against me personally. You feel that crushed, that powerless.

You've got a point. It's easy to say "stay strong guys, we're all behind you," but it's different.

Exactly. That’s what people forget. They crush you until you're fuming inside, thinking it's just you against the cops and you've got no shot. That's why so many people just hang their heads and take the hit. There's a massive difference between five complaints and five hundred. Just stay brave—winning is about standing together.

Jesse Campbell said:He’s already lost at the first level of appeal, and the only way to fix that is through a second-tier review overseen by the very guy he’s facing in court today. ☕

But let's not get bogged down in that right now. No point wasting energy on him. We just need to stay positive about the win. Keep pushing.

Walking through downtown Chicago today and see some 6 or 7-year-olds playing in the plaza. A few feet away, I hear them screaming racial slurs at their moms for no reason at all. Makes me wonder about what you said—about how "the end is near" and we're on the "right path." If we're lucky, maybe we'll all be celebrating a total surrender pretty soon.

Sunday at 2 ☕

ruggedowl71 said:The suburbs are gaining ground, man. Lukšić has been holding strong for years, and those lower outskirts are picking up steam, just like the downtown core. Not sure about the rest of the outskirts—too many unknowns there—but the chaos is definitely growing. With the older generation backing them up, we’re going to see some heavy hitters emerge soon. Honestly? It might actually be a better era for the Black Knights.

OUR UNION MEANS YOUR DOWNFALL!!

It's more about the suburbs now, less about the city center or the surrounding towns...

Rest in peace. 😢

Jonathan Anderson11 said:What, they aren't taking the train? Word is everyone's riding without a ticket... 🤷

The Sunday train doesn't even roll out until 3:00 PM, so I guess that's too late for them.☕

amberfox6 said:Can anyone who actually knows what happened explain the whole deal with The Cohort and the Demons?
Obviously, you mean regarding the vouchers or just showing up at the stadium?

Maybe 50 from The Cohort and about 15 Demons☕ , but they aren't eligible for the vouchers

Since we're talking about explosions, one went off right in the stands, but thank God nobody actually got hurt...

Jose Kern11 said:First off, that bolded part. Back in Miami, we had some carnivals about 7 or 8 years ago where the cops banned flares on the rides, and eventually they just banned the whole carnival and hauled away the ringleaders. So don't act like this is just a Washington, D.C. thing. It happens everywhere—it just depends on whether there are 50 people behind it or 5,000.

And second. I don't get why everyone's shocked by the media. Anyone writing hits against you guys is basically on Jerry Jones' payroll. They're well-oiled. As for the others actually reporting now? They're just being objective. It's not like they're gonna claim "great atmosphere" when it's just 30 of you throwing flares. Look at Al Pacino over here writing these two pieces; he's clearly one of the few left who isn't living off Jerry Jones' handouts.

Not sure if this is even the right place for this, but feels about right.
The whole fan movement—organized cheering, choreo, flares, the chaos... it all started in England and Italy about 40 years ago and just bled across the continent. Every year, more clubs had these dedicated groups pulling off massive displays and lighting up the stands. Back then, flares and pyrotechnics were just part of the atmosphere; nobody saw them as some kind of crime. It didn't bother anyone. For example, when the Boston Red Sox hit their 100th anniversary, the whole city was out celebrating with flares, and nobody blinked. But now? A few guys light a flare and suddenly they’re treated like a national security threat. Today, those English and Italian crowds aren't even half of what they used to be because of these suffocating laws. It started with them, but it's spreading everywhere, and it's coming for the rest of us next. The groups that haven't been crushed yet are just coasting, knowing they're next in line. UEFA is basically suffocating the culture, and nobody seems to care enough to stop it. We're looking at the total death of fan culture just because every group sits by while the others get picked off one by one. They penalize clubs for using pyrotechnics—which is literally the soul of the movement—so now you hardly see any flares in major matches. Soon, there won't be anything left. These groups aren't united, which is why they're being dismantled so easily. Think about it: if every group in the Champions League quarterfinals decided to light 15 flares and force a stoppage, UEFA couldn't do a damn thing. They can't just cancel the whole tournament. They can ban two or three teams, sure, but they can't kick out everyone—they can't run a Champions League without the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea, or Bayern. Solidarity is the only way to save this. But maybe by tomorrow it'll be too late and we'll just be sitting here with our arms crossed. In a couple of years, "fans" won't exist anymore; it'll just be a corporate theater show for the ultra-rich, and we'll wonder where we went wrong. FREEDOM FOR THE FANS! AMF! (Look, I wrote this while I was heated, so don't judge, but I hope you get the point.)

hang in there, fellas

Well put.
The fan scene is at war with FIFA for a bunch of different reasons:
They’re taking a sport that used to belong to the working class and trying to turn it into some exclusive playground for the elite. They want to swap real fans for "consumers"—people who couldn't care less about the soul or the history of the game. Just typical Americans. You know the type: they roll up to an NBA game, drop a hundred bucks on a ticket, watch Rihanna perform at halftime, grab a burger, buy a jersey, and maybe propose on the Jumbotron. They aren't there for the team; they're just visiting a shopping mall that happens to have a field. It’s all about the money, and it kills everything that actually makes sports matter.
They just want to rip out this whole way of life tied to the game just so they can finish off football using some capitalist playbook. Grab everything that's worth something and let the rest rot. They're killing tradition, rewriting history, and turning everything into robots—forcing a version of the sport that never even existed. Why does the world love this game so much anyway? Football has a soul, but FIFA is sucking the life out of it every single day.
They don't even bother picking honest ways to crush fan culture anymore. They just cook up unconstitutional laws behind closed doors with the government. Look at what happened here in America: the Prime Minister and his whole cabinet basically had to bow down to Platinum during his visit to Washington, D.C. All that just to hear some lecture on how to "handle" the fans. Handle what exactly? Since when does the head of a football organization get to lecture the leaders of a SOVEREIGN nation??
Stop the crime already. Corruption, bribery, match-fixing, shady betting rings, crooked agencies—it’s all just the past, present, and future of soccer. And FIFA? They're mostly famous for pretending to fight racism. It's a joke. They sweep all those scandals under the rug where nobody ever sees them, acting like they aren't directly responsible, then try to wash their hands of it with some "Kick Racism Out of Football" slogan. You'll see those banners at the Champions League or Major League games, maybe even on the World Cup stage too. What a farce.
They don't care about the little guys, just the massive clubs pulling in the real cash. That’s why this whole Super League nonsense is blowing up—it's basically a way to sideline the Champions League and Europa League entirely. We're talking TV rights, ticket prices, all that. It's purely about the billions. When you look at the top 1% versus the other 99%, does it really surprise anyone that fans are going to war with them?

Anyone from Miami or the surrounding area got an extra spot for tomorrow?
