(59,879 posts)21. No. The thugs had no cause to release noxious gases. Whether the jam up was intentional or not is not the issue.
        They were jammed intentionally, but it was still a jam.
The scooter might also have had a mechanical malfunction. We and you do not know.

        Thug rage, roid rage, road rage. All of it. Abuse of power.  Hope they choked on their own gas.

        Sorry, but the title clearly said ICE agents reacted to being stuck in a Chicago traffic jam.
