    Terrorist?

    Tom, he isn't a terrorist.

    He is a dip **** reporter, and not even a good one.

    Known.

    but that was a terrorist act. If a white person did that in a black church, Don Lemon would be screaming terrorism. So would the many racists in the D&D.

    whole lotta deflection going on in here

    Shooting a person recording them 10 time in the back is not doing their job.

    Folks doubling down on bootlicking and victim blaming.

    Folks r being rounded up without due process and sent off to God knows where.

    Its honestly a waste of time talking to one bootlicking so hard for ICE.

    Less folks would complain if ICE was doing their dam job and catch criminals and not kidnap little kids, working parents and gunning down Americans plus have bootlickers like u defend them.

    On Lemon, they tried to get a warrant from a magistrate judge and were denied.

    They then went to an appellate court who not only said no, but castigated the whole case stating explicitly that there was "no evidence."

    Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be part of the case.

    They finally went to a grand jury and got their indictment. This is, to say the least, an unusual path to take to an arrest. No word on what arguments they made or who made them.

    Also, a local journalist covering the same event was arrested at her home this morning. Both she and Lemon are independent journalists, which means they will need to foot their own defense bills without the kind of institutional support a reporter for a major outlet would get. I don't think that's an accident.

    The arrests were made under two laws: one from 1871, called the Enforcement Act, was passed to address the lawlessness of the Ku Klux Klan. The second was a 1994 act that set restrictions on abortion clinic protestors. So far, the President has pardoned 24 people convicted of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.

    Bootlicking.

    Not a fan of Ice personally unless they are strictly targeting the types who are the worst of the worst.

    Sexual assualts, battery. That type of stuff.

    I wouldn't even mind keeping the types with DUI's etc. Most of us over 21 have driven when we shouldn't have so I won't be a hypocrite and call for that.

    I don't honestly have an issue either with the protesting of ICE. One of friends, in my wedding is here illegally and would be taken back if ICE got ahold of him.

    I just don't support people interfering with them physically. That is just dumb and does no good.

    Have called for amnesty for well behaved illegals who have worked hard and supported families. Seems like a no brainer to me. I think Trump is handling this situation poorly at best.

    Doesn't matter though, because if I point out that Goode or Pretti put themselves in bad situations, I am immediately called a "cult member."

    That **** is weird behavior.

    I liked your post, and I agree with it for the most part. I would never have put myself in either of their situations.

    But at the same time, neither one of them deserved to be murdered. Arrested? Yes. Murdered? No.

    I think we can agree on that, but we disagree on the word of action. I'm fine with that, even though I think you're wrong (although I think you've called Pretti murder).

    But the large, overarching theme here, is that all of these things show just how poorly trained ICE agents are. How utterly confused they likely are, from whatever orders they've been given, and just how inept the whole operation is.

    Which goes back to the valid point you did make, of just how poorly this has been handled, by Trump and others. They want a paramilitary operation, for some reason, which goes against everything this country has ever stood for. Something that I would venture to think 95% of the population doesn't want. I would also guess that those that are in favor of the paramilitary operation that is being carried out, many times violating the Constitution, are either racist or just for whatever reason blood lusting.

    I think we can all agree that the videos we've seen of ICE doing its thing are many times just flat out unAmerican and illegal, and have no business being done on our soil to our own populace.


    And I think at the same time, most of us can agree that many of these protestors are taking risks because they feel emboldened (by who knows what...social media? Herd mentality?).

    But I would also like to think that the risks they're taking are not nearly the same risks that those storming the Capitol took on January 6th a few years ago. Those were more grave and dangerous. But yet they resulted in far less severe consequences, somehow.

    Tens of thousands of people are accepting risks to themselves because they think they must stand up for what is right instead of hiding away and ignoring what is happening on their streets.

    You can disagree with what they think is right, but it's not just social media talking. You should listen to lots of interviews with the MN and Chicago ice protestors. Lot of middle of the road people who want to stand up for their communities and their neighbors, especially the legal or on-legal-immigration-path brown ones who are being harassed and unjustly targeted by the paramilitary units.

    I have told my H1B Visa-holding brown-skinned (and wonderful) neighbors that I will be there for them. I am not radicalized by the internet but by the fact that their daughter is terrified.

    Jan 6th and physical Ice protest are proving to be equally dangerous and dumb. People lost their lives for doing what I can assume in their mind, actions that represent being a good human.

    As you mentioned, and how I feel too. ICE agents seem to need improvement from a training perspective.

    Talked to my pops, about this. State Trooper for 27 years. Retired. NEVER fired his weapon in service when apprehending people.

    He wouldn't have fired in that situation unless he saw the gun drawn by Pretti.

    Experience in the field suggest you should confirm that you it is truly a perceived threat before firing. The agents didn't do that for what its worth.
