Then There Is Minneapolis

Yep the trigger happy goons of ICE have shot and killed another citizen….but that is becoming commonplace.

I watched several different videos and the situation was preventable but apparently the Goons are not trained to diffuse but rather to use deadly force.

There are a few editorials from around the nation.

The fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis over the weekend continues to dominate the headlines. Here’s a look at four editorials on the aftermath, and there seems to be a common theme from both the left and right:

  • “It’s time to de-escalate in Minneapolis, Mr. President,” the editorial from the right-leaning New York Postbegins. It ends by asserting that “the American people didn’t vote for these scenes, and you can’t continue to order them to not believe their lying eyes.” The piece faults Pretti for “clumsily interfering” with ICE agents, but it also levels criticism at the “hasty and misleading rhetoric” coming from the administration about him. It goes after Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem in particular on that front, suggesting she “take a break from her self-promoting and combative TV hits.”
  • In similar fashion, the conservative editorial page of the Wall Street Journal writes that Trump “would be wise to pause ICE enforcement in the Twin Cities to ease tensions and consider a less provocative strategy.” The editors write that Pretti “foolishly” tried to interfere with ICE agents, but say that he should have been arrested, not killed. It also faults Noem and Trump aide Stephen Miller for their rhetoric. “Their social-media and cable-TV strategy is to own the libs, rather than to persuade Americans.” That puts the burden on Trump himself.
  • The Minneapolis Star Tribune worries that the entire state is at a “dangerous edge” and sees one solution: “What is not open to debate is this: The current ICE surge in Minnesota must be paused. … An ICE pause would not represent abolition. It is governance. It is an acknowledgment that tactics producing sweeping disruption, mounting injury and now multiple civilian deaths are failing their own stated aims.”
  • The New York Times is in sync with the above. “The temperature in Minneapolis is dangerously high,” the editorial reads. “There is an urgent need for the federal agents deployed to the city to step back and take a breath before more Americans are hurt or killed. Those protesting the Trump administration have an equal obligation to avoid violence.”
  • The Washington Post, meanwhile, demands an independent investigation into the Pretti shooting, adding that ICE “needs to be bound by laws, oversight and accountability” and that US citizens “need to be secure in exercising their First and Second Amendment rights without worrying they’ll get gunned down.” Trump tapped into Americans’ concerns about immigration in his reelection, but he’s now guilty of “overreach,” they write. “If Trump won’t change course on his own, can Republicans in Congress save him from himself?”

This is getting out of hand…..these hard solutions to problems are doing nothing to make this country safer….it is creating chaos and that chaos is used to justify the hard nose tactics of the ICE Goons.

The anger that is being felt is expanding….Donny has sent ICE to Maine and they are not being met well at all….

As the Trump administration continues to insist it is targeting violent criminals as it ramps up immigration enforcement operations in Maine—while releasing details about just a small fraction of the more than 100 people federal agents have reportedly arrested so far—residents in the state are expressing growing anger over the operations that have seen their neighbors, friends, and coworkers hauled away in unmarked cars by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

In at least two cases in Portland on Thursday, ICE agents pulled drivers out of their cars and left the vehicles running in the street.

A crowd gathered as agents detained a Lyft driver near the University of Southern Maine, with residents calling the masked officers “Nazis” and demanding, “If you’re so proud, show your face!”

“Rot in hell!” one person yelled, while others said, “Fuck you, Nazis!”

Will Donny and his ICE Goons incite another riot in Maine?

This is starting to look like a tactic…..swoop in create havoc then depart before it gets even worse….so far it has been LA, Minnesota, and most blue areas….is he looking for that one that will push Americans to the brink and he can invoke the Insurrection thingy?

Why are you still sitting on the sidelines?

  1. When I think of what is happening in Minneapolis, my mind drifts back to the image of a bunch of poorly armed civilian hunters, farmers and immigrants facing an overwhelming force of red-coated well armed English soldiers in skirmishes and clashes here and there now and then ….and I wonder why the good citizens of Minneapolis and St. Paul have not realized this and done more to protect themselves.

    1. Where are all those militia twats that went on bout governmental tyranny back in 2010? Maybe they are all part of ICE now. chuq
