Is it a lie if you believe it? There are people who believe that illegally entering the country is not a crime. It can be hard to reconcile such things.
The Editors what are you thinking....... lets have you be in front of a armed person; seriously........ how would you respond/react? Take a chance on someone who might harm you or a co-worker?
When you go looking for trouble, you usually find it whether you are Ashli Babbit, Kyle Rittenhouse, George Floyd, Alex Pretti or Renee Good. Someone who didn't go looking for trouble? Someone sorry ass Joe Biden and his Democrat cronies couldn't acknowledge? Laken Riley. So to Donald Trump and Noem, you keep doing what you are doing and if a trained Antfifa (Google Alex Falconer) wearing fatigues and carrying an automatic pistol with two clips get in your way so be it.
There’s a whole organized underground of anti ice in Minnesota…and it’s pretty scary. This country dodged a bullet, unfortunately not literally, by electing Trump and not having Walz living in the VP mansion. He’s a sick anti American human doing everything he can to promote the protests and make himself and his people look like the victims.
On "Niall Ferguson: The Arrogance of Trump’s Foreign-Policy Critics", Trump could cure cancer, and theTDS crowd would still criticize him and pillory him.
Absolutely disgusting how they executed that law-abiding nurse and then lied about him. The NRA is even sticking up for him. Wake up people. ICE is wholly untrained and unqualified to deal with the public in the way that they have been recently directed to do. Their leaders are repugnant for not correcting these errors, and instead doubling and tripling down with malicious lies about good citizens.
What they did and are doing is horrific and unjust.
You struck upon a truth with your false narrative. It's true that ICE is not trained for crowd control. They're trained to seek and arrest illegal aliens as immigration law requires. It's unfair to expect them to perform crowd control. The Minneapolis Police Department and the Minnesota National Guard are trained for crowd control and should be doing exactly that. Who is preventing them from doing what they are trained to do? The best way to keep the public from harm is to.... keep them from harm. The MPD and MN NG should be on the streets and keeping the public away from dangerous situations. On Pretti's final day, the CBP were attempting to serve an arrest warrant for a violent illegal alien. Because of the organized effort on Signal by agitators to disrupt federal LE operations, of which Pretty was an active member, Pretti died and the perp got away. It was a bad day for everybody. Where was MPD? Where was MN NG? They should have been there. Standing back in order to pit a hostile assembly against federal LEOs for political purposes is downright evil.
Doesn't matter now who's right and who's wrong, what just and not just. Pretti is dead
....... for using very poor judgement, and for Biden leaving the border open, and for Walz & Frye to command local police to stay away and not control the unruly crowds.
People love sausage but wouldn’t as much if they watched it being made. The majority of Americans support deportation of illegal alien criminals. Well this is what it looks like when sanctuary cities refuse to cooperate and separate the good from the bad. ICE has to be prepared to confront the most dangerous on every arrest because their life depends on it. Sorting them out is only made more difficult when uneducated folks are honking horns, blowing whistles, waving signs and throwing rocks and snowballs. If protesters were doing that to a cashier at Publix, they would most likely make mistakes as well.
So the Left discovers the Second Amendment? This is rich.
Pretti shouldn’t be dead. Period.
I read somewhere that his father warned him not to do anything stupid. Taking a loaded, semi-automatic (aka hair-triggered) handgun with a backup magazine to any gathering in Minneapolis these days, even a church potluck, is stupid. But stupidity is not a capital offense.
Looking at the videos, Pretti was disarmed and restrained. Who knows what ran through the agent’s head. He heard the misfire and reacted? He’d had it with the AWFLs and POOFs screeching their whistles and hurling shit at them? He was untrained and did what he thought the situation called for? He was a crazed murder in federal garb looking for a victim? I don’t know (nor does anyone else for that matter), but I go back to my first point. Pretti shouldn’t be dead.
Since Walz and Frye seem intent on stoking the inferno, Trump should pull the troops and every dime of federal funding. Let the two knuckleheads manage the asylum from here on out.
One last observation. More than a few commenters decry how this section is the watering hole for MAGA-istas. Maybe, just maybe, it’s the last forum on which people who would like to have a civil, multi-faceted debate can discuss issues. Facebook was extra nauseating this weekend — no surprise. But I couldn’t even look at text messages without being pummeled by people condemning Orange Man.
Agree on Trump pulling the troops and stopping federal funding. This is never going to end. They have an organizer anti ice business being run in Minneapolis. Their leaders are corrupt as hell and the left just keeps running on emotion instead of facts.
While Mr. Pretti's death is a tragedy, ICE is there to protect everyone, including themselves. When you show up to protest with a gun, you no longer have the cover of a 'peaceful' protester. While Pretti has a right to carry a gun, ICE has a right to assume he is going to use it. Mr. Pretti was a danger to everyone there on that day, including Mr. Pretti.
Wait so Hochul rejected federal help with the impending snowmegeddon because the thing now for democrats is protecting illegal aliens who have committed criminal acts like child rape, vehicular homicide, human trafficking and drug trafficking, so in general the governor just decided that the people of NY State can go eff themselves in exchange for protecting really evil people. ....and she is proud of this yet too...she says she wants to stop the bleeding of people moving to Palm Beach, so people should just stay and let this moron govern their lives...
Democrats wont vote for a spending bill that includes DHS. Again, this is really the hill they plan to die on? American security can go to hell while they play politics? DHS is alot more than ICE. Funny how they seem to care about Pretti and Goode, but not the average American who has been the victim of a crime committed by Illegals. (Remember how the overwhelming majority refused to stand for the mother of a murder victim or even for that child who is fighting cancer? These are NOT good people.)
It still baffles me that the end all and be all for the democrats is protecting people who came here illegally. Instead of trying to pass comprehensive immigration reform they simply decide that its their thing to protect criminal illegal aliens - not the American People mind you....
Does anyone think its time to look into who is paying for the protests in Minneapolis? Why does the government in Minnesota think they dont have an obligation to keep the protests peaceful? What makes the average person think they can interfere with federal law enforcement of any kind? I am still asking the question why in Minneapolis and not in other cities. ICE is in cities throughout the country-both blue and red- both sanctuary and nonsanctuary cities- and there are no issues like what we see in Minneapolis. Why? What is different? There is something else going on in Minneapolis. Who is funding the protests in Minneapolis? Where is the money coming from? There is alot more going on here than meets the eye...
I guess the persona of Walz being the affable schmuck was just that a persona. He doesn't exactly come off as Mr. Football coach nice guy any more does he? But he does come off still as not exactly all that intelligent though, machiavellian maybe, but not all that bright. I still want to know what he knew about the Somali fraud and when he knew it. Same with Frey.
If you are upset on principle - as people online are claiming - but you weren’t sad about the 7 civilian deaths due to Jan 6, it’s not principle. Both situations were hysterical, emotionally fraught situations with a bunch of overwrought civilians. Both situations were conjured up by their own party’s reckless use of hysteria and hyperbole. Both situations went beyond “nonviolent protest”. Both situations involved deaths that were stupid and avoidable.
And it is as unreasonable and stupid to blame the democrats in the White House on 1/6, as it is to blame the Trump administration now. Let alone blaming the capitol police/ICE.
Increasingly there are conservative voiced criticizing ( harshly) Noem. As it should be. But where are the voices on thd left calling for an end to sanctuary BS? Where were the voices when the border was made wide open? Mayorkas? Kamala? Schumer? AOC? Should the GOP have shut down the govt until the border was secure? Are there really differences now v then,? Or once again two standards?
Remember when Trump shooting someone on Fifth Avenue was a kind of, you know, joke?
Good times.

For all these years, I just thought Walz was a drunk bumbling moron. Little did I know he was the head of a Somali criminal fraud empire.

Semi-auto has nothing to do with whether a gun is "hair-triggered" or not, but otherwise a good rant.
While Mr. Pretti's death is a tragedy, ICE is there to protect everyone, including themselves. When you show up to protest with a gun, you no longer have the cover of a 'peaceful' protester. While Pretti has a right to carry a gun, ICE has a right to assume he is going to use it. Mr. Pretti was a danger to everyone there on that day, including Mr. Pretti.
If MSP police were allowed to do crowd control, a lot of this "unrest" wouldn't happen.
I wonder if Nocera wrote about how bad this credit card idea is back when it was just Warren/Sanders that wanted to do it...

Great win for New England as we shovel out. We ❤️ Vrabel, Maye and team
@ Gov. Hochul, The ice hasn’t even started yet. Just wait for the snow to start melting.
