    Dayum. Guy who was shot was US citizen with a legal concealed carry, and he had surrendered his weapon before being shot. Sounds like one ICE guy said "he's got a gun", and then took hit from him and walked off with it, when another ICE dude shot him in the back, which caused the others to kick off. Fucking hell.

    Walz has now spun up the National Guard to deal with ICE.

    I don't know what "deal with" means, and I'm almost afraid to ask.

    We’re not sure exactly what the guard is going to be doing yet, are we? Crowd control and protecting federal buildings maybe?

    It’s really hard to feel hopeful about anything these days

    My initial understanding is that they are going to be used to keep protesters away from ICE, so that ICE can't interact with protesters.

    I was kind of hoping that they'd actually herd the ICE agents. That'd be fun to watch.

    There’s so much I want to say about how people should interact with ICE, that I can’t say because I don’t really want to be visited by ICE any time soon.

    I feel like we skipped over how the renditions to El Salvador constitute what is possibly the greatest 8th Amendment violation in decades. 8th gets no love.

    If I were writing this as a book…

    Thing is I can’t write faster than real life is playing out.

    I’ll just say, I’m surprised that all those “I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable” guys are absolutely silent.

    Actually, I’m not. They all joined ICE.

    I don't think the 2nd Amendment is worth the paper it's printed on anymore.

    I'm REALLY curious to see how Dana Loesch tries to spin this on Monday, what with her being a 2A absolutist and also a MAGA bootlicker.

    Here's my Great Carnac prediction:

    NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO THE MURDERERS.

    Bondi is now demanding the MN voter roll, among other things, to stop the ICE engagement.

    LOL

    Not fucking corrupt at all.

    I noticed in the videos today that ICE vehicles were parked in the middle of the road impeding traffic. I thought the previous shooting was over impeding ICE traffic. So what the hell, does the laws of the road only pertain to regular drivers?

    It’s anecdotal, but a video on Reddit was saying they’re starting to change their appearance to basic Midwest drab hoodies and jackets, with less masks, so they can blend in.

    They won’t interact with me— people should start shooting ICE.

    Shooting is too good for them. I want to see every last one of those fucking subhuman pieces of shit given the Afghani post 9/11 Gitmo treatment.

    Yes, I have literally told you people this for years, only to be greeted with an uproarious chorus of "SHUT UP, BANDIT."

    Not just traffic laws, but laws in general.

    So I just read a quote from Noem that said Pretti had “multiple - dozens - of rounds of ammunition.”

    That’s…just the loaded gun and an extra magazine, right?

    Yes. He had a single extra mag. And a loaded gun, that he never pulled.

    And @Clutch , stop with the DM's... post for all to see.

    If you watch the videos, the first shot is fired by the ICE agent from behind, after the gun was removed. It was not some accidental discharge.

    Just thinking, anybody who legally owns a gun that came with the bare minimum accessories, and has one box of ammo, is now according to Bovino and Noem “intent on inflicting maximum damage.”
