Giraffe Robby Roadsteamer abducted by ICE in Minnesota

For nothing.

Apparently singled out.

Watch and explain to me what he did to justify this.

Big armed guys knocking down a giraffe. But I forget - they might shoot you if you don’t take them seriously.

Unfortunately he backed up the toilet the last time we tried to do that.

"I am safe, I am healthy I am ready to sue ICE in Minnesota for tackling me and abusing me," he said.

"I hurt my leg I hurt my arm, I hurt my back, the guy put me in a chicken wing, all for a traffic infraction, that's what they wrote the citation for, I was blocking traffic, along with 100 other protesters but they only arrested me."

Robby was not laughing with the goons on top of him, it's obvious he was in pain.

It's about him being nationally known, and a symbol.

Probably had a hit order put on him from Noem or Miller.

Giraffe Robby Roadsteamer totally has a bullseye painted on him so he morphed into a pickle

Status Coup, loosely affiliated with Medias Touch, caught some footage and I totally recognized his voice; gorilla theater is alive and well in Minnesota, Baby!

Victorious Robby Roadsteamer will return with a national audience, especially if he wears the giraffe costume in court.

You can't get away with that, because the ICE folks have, you know, feelings, too...

According to butterchunks the kiddy twiddler that is why Mrs. Good was murdered, for disrespect.
