That Truth Social post from Trump is good to see. That should help to turn the temperature down.



This white ***** is reading things into his post.... but she brings up a interesting point. Trump needs to stand behind the officer involved in this shooting. If they sacrifice another officer to the communists to cleanse themselves of any blame then I and many others will sit out the midterms. Republicans need to support our ICE officers the way the left supports their domestic terrorists and antifa foot soldiers.

Way to start from a position of reasoned sexism.

So do the same thing that former presidents (Obama with the "acted stupidly" comments, as a singular example) did, but in a way you support, despite the pendency of any investigation or any evidence to the contrary.

Can you provide any actual evidence of the deceased being part of any domestic terrorist cell or a member of antifa?

If investigating and possibly holding ICE officers who pursued three people across a street, pushed two of them to the ground (both women - I thought defense of women was a big thing on the right the last few years) then shot another US citizen 5+ times (i have seen the number be high as 10, but I have not seen it confirmed how many rounds actually hit his body) accountable is a " sacrifice [of] another officer to the communists" then we might as well pack it up and all give up on governmental accountability at any level.

For the record, I dont think Derek Chauvin should have been convicted, so I look forward to addressing a different irrelevant deflection you will undoubtedly raise.

Exactly.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

What does welfare fraud have to do with the ICE operations in MN? Most of the names I have seen of those arrested are Hispanic with very few Somali's here and there. Is ICE required to investigate the fraud? Why even bring that up in this discussion? Welfare fraud can be bad (it is, its rampant and needs to be curbed) and other things can still be true.

Sad you are happy another person is dead just because he didn't agree with your politics on a singular issue (and maybe he did generally agree, just not with the current federal approach to arresting illegals (and a few hundred/thousand citizens without warrant or basis - but what are constitutional violations if I like the policy and optics)). Seems like you have a very binary and non-critical view of the situation. Thats too bad.

a lot of immigrants are involved in the fraud. Particularly the Somalis. And the dollars involved n the Somali cases are significant.

Yes, we need to investigate the fraud and prosecute where necessary, but as a rule, we do not want to prosecute and incarcerate illegal aliens or Green Card holders. We simply deport them. Why spend the money to prosecute & incarcerate THEN deport them? Just deport them. (not saying there are no circumstances for prosecution & iuncarceration, just noting that is not the program de rigeuer.)

The disagreements between a person like Alex Pretti and myself are existential in nature.

His open borders, pro-illegal criminals policies will literally get myself and my family killed. Or in the best case, we work 40 hours a week to pay for government services to support illegals until we are destitute and we are replaced.

This battle over open borders and the ethnic displacement of America is even more existential to the fate of this country than slavery which is what caused the first civil war.

If you cant have borders and deport illegals invaders, you dont have a country.

I was Alex Pretti's final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal.

Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera.

It does not surprise me that his final words were, "Are you okay?" Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well.

Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together.

I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need.

Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity.

Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.

Trump surrendered.

They dont give a **** about this country.

I predict we'll be at war with Iran in the next 30 days.

Welcome to Trump world. Fistly, this doesn't happen without fish lip pigman wasn't in the WH. He has sowed unbelievable division in this country. secondly, the guy had a conceal and carry and was stripped of his lawful weapon and shot 10 times. 10 effing times. You Maga are all about the conceal and carry which I support, but have an issue here. So disingenuous. The Ice guy should have the gun turned on him and shot between the eye . That twat Noem has to GTFO

LOL it's just amazing how hard you work to go lower than Trump.

Have some sympathy. Poor guy had to drive through the snow for three days to be alone and cold at the CEFCO.

I live in Bangkok mostly, you putz, not Frisco home of the McMansion and Dallas ****** Bags such as you. enjoy, putz. back to your cube farm.

LOL the dumbass did not have the good sense to get out of the way of cops & let them do their job. Instead, he saw himself as a savior of people who were not part of his social contract and therefore immune from all the rules of common sense and due caution, thereby getting into a physical confrontation with cops while armed. Chris Rock has skit on that subject.

This white ***** is reading things into his post.... but she brings up a interesting point. Trump needs to stand behind the officer involved in this shooting. If they sacrifice another officer to the communists to cleanse themselves of any blame then I and many others will sit out the midterms. Republicans need to support our ICE officers the way the left supports their domestic terrorists and antifa foot soldiers.

Way to start from a position of reasoned sexism.

So do the same thing that former presidents (Obama with the "acted stupidly" comments, as a singular example) did, but in a way you support, despite the pendency of any investigation or any evidence to the contrary.

Can you provide any actual evidence of the deceased being part of any domestic terrorist cell or a member of antifa?

If investigating and possibly holding ICE officers who pursued three people across a street, pushed two of them to the ground (both women - I thought defense of women was a big thing on the right the last few years) then shot another US citizen 5+ times (i have seen the number be high as 10, but I have not seen it confirmed how many rounds actually hit his body) accountable is a " sacrifice [of] another officer to the communists" then we might as well pack it up and all give up on governmental accountability at any level.

For the record, I dont think Derek Chauvin should have been convicted, so I look forward to addressing a different irrelevant deflection you will undoubtedly raise.


I'm more concerned with Somalia Gangster accountability right now and the billions in fraud that the American tax payer is expected to pay for.

The guy was a cancer to this nation and I'm happy he's dead. I'm going to pretend like everyone else on this board that it is a shame that my enemy, who wouldn't give a **** about myself or my family getting robbed or murdered by illegal criminals, got shot and killed for provoking, harassing, and physically assaulting ICE officers.

Because it is not unreasonable to consider that the organized militias are launching an insurrection there to detract from the massive fraud cases.

If investigating and possibly holding ICE officers who pursued three people across a street, pushed two of them to the ground (both women - I thought defense of women was a big thing on the right the last few years) then shot another US citizen 5+ times (i have seen the number be high as 10, but I have not seen it confirmed how many rounds actually hit his body) accountable is a " sacrifice [of] another officer to the communists" then we might as well pack it up and all give up on governmental accountability at any level.

For the record, I dont think Derek Chauvin should have been convicted, so I look forward to addressing a different irrelevant deflection you will undoubtedly raise.


I'm more concerned with Somalia Gangster accountability right now and the billions in fraud that the American tax payer is expected to pay for.

The guy was a cancer to this nation and I'm happy he's dead. I'm going to pretend like everyone else on this board that it is a shame that my enemy, who wouldn't give a **** about myself or my family getting robbed or murdered by illegal criminals, got shot and killed for provoking, harassing, and physically assaulting ICE officers.


What does welfare fraud have to do with the ICE operations in MN? Most of the names I have seen of those arrested are Hispanic with very few Somali's here and there. Is ICE required to investigate the fraud? Why even bring that up in this discussion? Welfare fraud can be bad (it is, its rampant and needs to be curbed) and other things can still be true.

Sad you are happy another person is dead just because he didn't agree with your politics on a singular issue (and maybe he did generally agree, just not with the current federal approach to arresting illegals (and a few hundred/thousand citizens without warrant or basis - but what are constitutional violations if I like the policy and optics)). Seems like you have a very binary and non-critical view of the situation. Thats too bad.



Welfare fraud has everything to do here because it has been reported many of those doing the fraud are not citizens.

Non citizens don't get constitutional rights.

I was Alex Pretti's final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal.

Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera.

It does not surprise me that his final words were, "Are you okay?" Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well.

Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together.

I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need.

Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity.

Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.


Have you ever posted anything like this for Riley or the other hundreds of AMERICANS killed by illegals?


No.

This piece of crap was out there protecting illegals and ready to fight ICE. Just like half the city it seems.

Trump is caving. He should not have done so.

The mayor even says he will continue to carry out insurrectionist activities by saying they will not cooperate or work with federal immigration law.

That should be an arrestable offense. States and cities do not get to pick and choose which federal laws they will obey.

They also do not get to decide what is unconstitutional.

Trump surrendered.

They dont give a **** about this country.

I predict we'll be at war with Iran in the next 30 days.


Yup. He needs something to distract from his failure here. He is trying to avoid a full riot (even though he has a full insurrection) so he caves and is leaving.

My only hope is that in a few weeks or months ICE quietly goes back to get the thousands they have missed in smaller raids this time.

It is genuinely odd how LWNJs have seemingly no empathy for the victims of crime but the most respect for insurrectionists and criminals.

That Truth Social post from Trump is good to see. That should help to turn the temperature down.



This white ***** is reading things into his post.... but she brings up a interesting point. Trump needs to stand behind the officer involved in this shooting. If they sacrifice another officer to the communists to cleanse themselves of any blame then I and many others will sit out the midterms. Republicans need to support our ICE officers the way the left supports their domestic terrorists and antifa foot soldiers.

Way to start from a position of reasoned sexism.

So do the same thing that former presidents (Obama with the "acted stupidly" comments, as a singular example) did, but in a way you support, despite the pendency of any investigation or any evidence to the contrary.

Because it is not unreasonable to consider that the organized militias are launching an insurrection there to detract from the massive fraud cases.

Not unreasonable to consider, sure. But many here and elsewhere online (yourself included with the "organized militia" label) are making sweeping conclusory statements about the motives of all protesting against ICE and declaring it an insurrection.

Is ICE specifically targeting the immigrants involved in the fraud? Have they apprehended anyone who has been responsible for any of the fraud that has (or may have) occurred? Is ICE even involved in the welfare fraud investigation? If the answer is "no" which I suspect it is, then bringing up the fraud is just another red herring to try to manufacture a post hoc rationale for ICE's deployment in such massive numbers to a city with a relatively small illegal immigrant population, but leadership at both the city and state level that has been openly hostile to the Trump Admin.

Very fair and reasonable critique. Did not mean to imply ICE we targeting fraudsters - think it is pretty clear they are not as the mission is pedophiles and violent criminals not fraudsters, but the hysteria over the ICE actions has gotten the story out of the headlines (even the slight effort the oligarch media put into covering it although mostly they spread disinformation).

In terms of it being an organized militia launching an insurrection, not sure any rational person can even question that - even our old crazy nut Waco47 acknowledged it was an insurrection. Regardless, my question was around motive - why Minneapolis? Why now? Maybe it is a coincidence, and no question Walz and the mayor are stupid nuts enough to participate regardless; but the timing is good for Tampon.
