3rd shooting in Minnesota.

[Kurokage]

We told you, and Kyle, that it was a stupid idea to do.
Kyle agrees, in hindsight.
Now just because the Kenosha Kid came out looking like a hero for ventilating a bunch of criminals and pedos, and for his spectacular aim and fantastic ability to stay within the law while doing so, doesn’t mean everyone should arm up looking for a fight.
It’s a dumb idea.
NRA will tell you the same and so will Kyle.

Why was that dumbass Pretti not carrying his carry license and ID with him as per law?
I know the answer, do you?

Are you sure he didn't have his license on him?? Maybe that little line was added as a cover up for very bad policing??

A.I. quote

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was shot by federal agents in Minneapolis amid protests against immigration policies. Pretti had a valid gun permit and legally owned a handgun, 
but there are conflicting reports about whether he was carrying it at the time of the incident. 

From the NRA..

The NRA waded into the national dialogue over Pretti’s killing after Bill Essayli – who was appointed by Trump to temporarily serve as a US attorney in California in 2025 – posted on social media: “If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you.”
In response, the NRA posted: “This sentiment … is dangerous and wrong. Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens.”

The boy wasn't law-abiding.

Apologies if you think I called you a racist or assumed you are one? 

Where’d you get that? I’m right there with you for more diversity. But we’ve gone about it all wrong for the last 10-20 years. And now here we are. You know who really hates this all besides American citizens on both sides? The folks that spent a boatload of time and $ to go about becoming naturalized citizens the right way. I don’t blame them either. They have every right when Biden left the barn door open for everyone from all over the globe. Then had the balls to call the trafficking operation a humanitarian one.

And No. I was emphasizing and highlighting your point about Georgia and other states with more arrests than Minnesota actually. I was agreeing with you. To the point maybe Minnesota ain’t the place to hunt brown folks as you’ve pointed out with your stats.

And I don’t have the answer. As I’ve stated before. We shouldn’t be in this predicament at all. In the first place. Neither should Europe. Yet here we are.

I do believe Trump is just Cherry-picking political rivals as a show of force IMO.

ETA: Trump did kinda ask them by paying them to self-deport. But I think this whole thing isn’t going away and it’s going to get very ugly. Floyd was one man. We are dealing with 20M now.

Fair enough Im enjoying the conversation,  

but

Minnesota is ripe with federal subsidies fraud; hell, so is my state. 

But let's get back on topic

Minnesotans and the MPD make these raids more dangerous than anywhere else, and they may be training for it, and be sponsored 
Domestically is fine, but if there is an international component ?

"Awaiting a full investigation" sure sounds right.

[Solvedit]

What election?? How is that anything to do with the thread??

Do you think I might mean the election that led to the policies he was interfering with?

We see all the Trump 'tards here saying he shouldn't have had a weapon, when it was his legal right to carry.  They were all defending Rittenhouse on ATS for walking around with an AR15!

While a full investigation into the agents' actions is warranted, Rittenhouse didn't recklessly interfere with Federal law enforcement or try to drag away someone they were detaining.

The administration tried to say he came at the ICE agents armed with a drawn weapon and was shot, the videos show nothing of the sort. He had his arms raised and had protesters pushed at him, then thrown to the floor whilst being pistol whipped/butt stuck.
His gun unholstered and removed, then shot 10x.

Yes, we need a full investigation.

We see all the Trump VOTERS here saying he shouldn't have had a weapon, when it was his legal right to carry.  They were all defending Rittenhouse on ATS for walking around with an AR15!

He did have a legal right to carry and help defend his friends property.    Lots of people do this during riots.  I was in LA during the riots and lots of people defended their businesses with weapons.   

Funny thing that when Kyle saw the police he kept his hands raised and listened and complied to all commands given to him.  This idiot didn’t do nothing of the sort.  He decided to fight them instead.  

If you’re going to carry you better have some self awareness of the possible consequences your actions might cost you.  I carry and the last eff’n thing I would ever do is to agitate a cop.  It’s literally the dumbest thing you could possibly do while carrying.   This clown did about everything wrong he possibly could’ve.   I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around his stupidity.  Just another typical senseless “libtard” with no common sense and shit for brains I suppose.  

To add: The comparison you’re trying to make with Kyle is apples to oranges.

Wish I had an easy answer. Politicians who want to leverage illegal immigrants and chaos seem to have done their best to block every avenue of law enforcement possible, from sanctuary cities to ordering police department standdowns to objecting to everything wherever possible in the courts to get temporary injunctions that are then overturned, to turning a blind eye to extremist groups stalking and doxxing law enforcement agents. They seem to want to make the laws unenforceable. I'm surprised ICE was able to get a funding increase through Congress, so at least that's something. Thank goodness some still have the spine to not just give up and let them make this a lawless nation.

Oh I spoke too soon here! They are going to try and block the budget and shut down the government again:

Senate Democrats said they would move to block a bipartisan spending package that includes $10 billion for ICE and must be approved by a Friday deadline to avert a government shutdown.

The State of Minnesota has had their government captured by organized crime at the State and Local Level. The officials in charge are in open combat against Federal law Enforcement. They are openly committing seditious acts by coordinating with the agitators through signal on how to further impede Federal law enforcement, actively working to help dox federal agents putting they  and their families lives in danger, as well endangering their own citizens by encouraging them to get physical and confrontational during the obstruction of law enforcement activities. 

That is no longer a state government of the United States of America. That is a captured state operating under an organized crime with some level of foreign financing to the civil unrest in the streets. All boxes are checked as a piece of America that needs to be once again brought under American sovereignty of the USA. As of now, it looks more like a rogue fiefdom under the authority of criminals protecting organized crime and declaring war against law enforcement. Kind of like a real insurrection, complete with actual violence, foreign funding, compromised officials openly committing to assist criminals in furtherance of their fraud and coverups.

And you have no credibility to even attempt to harp about American virtues and values. Your go to defense for any aggression towards you is to roll over and play dead, or just give up and surrender everything you own. But no matter what, as you have clearly and so eloquently explained to the world, chr0naught believes his purpose is to just give anybody who demands it everything he worked so hard for if it means he can be sure those who are making him a victim of crime at least do not feel oppressed in doing so, or  have their feelings hurt, or God forbid; be stopped from committing their crime.

I was reading about their sudden reversal awhile ago.  No surprise here.  

There’s a large percentage of dems that want chaos and lawlessness in our country.  It’s all agenda driven to tear the country down to restructure it to align with their ideological desires.  They seem to love watching the country burn.  Floyd riots were a prime example.

We're not modeling the right war when people talk about the Gestapo.

This is actually Venezuela, and Somalia is playing Cuba.  

A video on YouTube claimed Representative Ilhan Omar's husband's net worth had gone from a few thousand to 6-30 million in one year.
