ICE- Authoritarian or community based?

Looks like my suspicions were right, they broke his rib a week prior, and were tracking him. I am not 100%, but I would say 80% positive this was a planned execution.

It seems like I may be right once again, Pretti was pulled from his car and had a rib broke by ICE agents a week prior after helping a family be alerted, and was on the list of people they were monitoring.

They definitely knew who he was when they rushed across the street to him, and I believe they intended to kill him. The whole thing reeks of a setup. Running across the street, taking his gun, pushing him to the ground, and then yelling "gun gun gun," and then having a statement ready that he was brandishing a gun at officers and a known terrorist. I am not 100% sure yet, but I would say 80% sure this was planned, it certainly was intentional.

You can write you are ‘80% sure’ as many times as you like, but that’s (of course) just your analysis, which given the totality of your biased posts on the issue, doesn’t carry much weight. I’ll give it a few percent chance of being as you say. There is still the ‘there will be literally dozens of people filming us’ hurdle to overcome. With the ICE guys not wanting to be Derek Chauvin.

That information does make me think this…. After having my rib broken in one of these protest events, I think I now MORE would stay away from them…. and certainly not bring my gun and clips with me…. Did he think he was going to win a shootout with the ICE guys?

I remind the audience, because something is legal to do doesn’t mean it is smart to do.

I posted multiple times because when I was posting the site kept cycling and refreshing when I was making this post and I didn't think it went through and had to retry. This is a known issue with this site (that hasn't been fixed in years,) so it is a weird way to try to invalidate my point.

My analysis is biased? While you cheer the description of events from Noem and Bovino which directly contradicted the evidence the video we were all watching in real time?

I am not sure you know what biased or honest means.


Remember what your side said in 2010 when people pointed out guns are pointless because even if there is tyranny you will never defeat the Army? Or does your talking point on that front not matter anymore because it is the wrong side exercising their rights?

Exactly, if this is what they are doing in broad daylight with blatant footage. How many ICE deaths behind closed doors are not accidental?

Let me know who is defending their deaths, and who is defending their killers. And, who is saying their deaths should not be investigated and the killer prosecuted.

Also, Laken Riley's parents for years has been saying she doesn't want Republicans to use her daughter for political talking points, nor does she agree with their assertation about immigration, nor would Laken. But, you guys still won't shut up about her... Laken Riley's murderer is in prison for life (as he should be,) there is nothing more to advocate for.

I do know lots of people defending government street executions by masked agents which bothers me more than a DUI death where the offender happened to be an illegal immigrant...

This is a pretty brilliant analysis of the charges against the ICE church protesters that the right wing has been threatening. The short version is most charges are getting tossed out and what ones are not have a minimal chance of a conviction. I will be shocked if anyone gets a conviction of anything beyond maybe 2 or 3, misdemeanors for maybe the leaders (there certainly will not be any violent charge convictions.) I am pretty confident in this. The whole idea that these were violence terrorists is a joke.
