Happy?
Is it cool or alarming that 40-something days of racial profiling training from under-qualified people can make one an "AgEnT" of state

Cartels are probably more rigorous with vetting lol, yet people are supposed to respect these badge-less, concealed individuals waving assault weapons around

When the government decides that extrajudicial killing of it's citizens is fine, what are the solutions? A strong worded letter from Chuck Schumer just doesn't cut it.

You either get defeated, give in, or fight back. If you don't support the latter, than you support the former by default.

Getting up in the morning and deciding to murder Alex Pretti does not seem like something a true law enforcement agency would do. All those gun supporters will be silent though, despite the guy apparently being a supporter of the 2nd amendment.

I think that we should stop using that term. They are maga-sympathizers. Assume that anyone maga is fascist at this point. Association with a german movement 90 years ago is falling on deaf ears.

AB separatists are maga sympathizers.

How are they going to spin this one? Looks like blatant murder to me.

I don’t think it’s falling on deaf ears. MAGA gets really mad when they’re called Nazis and they lash out, and they should be shamed and labeled as such because that’s what they are.

Killing ICE agents is not a problem in and of itself, if they die, no one should particularly care. But the problem is that doing so is good for the people who sent them there. They want this all to escalate and spin out of control as a pretense to more troops, more tight controls, and things that will help them win or rig the midterms. So by killing ICE you're putting a smile on the face of Stephen Miller, and that is the last thing anyone with a brain should want.

Probably a weird question but, I get the feds don’t want to conduct murder investigations against ICE, but wouldn’t local police conduct their own investigation? Don’t really get how the jurisdiction works with a random murder police force and then local police, when laws are literally just being broken by one?

Until this administration deviates from the nazi playbook, that's what it is.

I would not support any violence against police or federal agents. Seems like that should be a no brainer.

This is a fair and reasonable point. To make my post totally clear:

Nazi-sympathizers got theirs in the end, and modern fascist bootlickers, such as maga-sympathizers, will get theirs, too.

Sorry for this terrible link, and I can't vouch for the veracity of this poll, but annecdotally, it seems to track.

https://www.facebook.com/charlieangu...3387191141798/

Charlie Angus re-posted it, and I keep seeing it floating around.

What 'violence' has been committed against them that warranted these two fatal shootings?

Go ahead, I'll wait.
