IMHO this is an excellent commentary on the state of the 2a. I am frankly shocked that this community has not risen up and taken to the streets across this nation in peaceful open carry demonstrations (where legal) in protest to say with one voice we are here. We are armed. And our right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Full stop.
Have whatever opinions you want about the agents or the victim. But when one of us is gunned down all of us should be asking “what’s next?”
The burden is always on the government to show violent intent not the other way around. To do so is to infringe on our 2a right because as the Supreme Court has validated we have this right and no one gets to ask us how many guns or mags we have and why we carry. No one. Full stop.
The nurse isn’t dead because he did or did not have violent intent. Noem wasn’t there, she was forwarding what she had been told.
The nurse is dead because he inserted himself in a lawful ICE operation in violation of the law, impeded and resisted, and inserted firearm carry into a mass resistance occupation that amounts to an insurgency. The totality of the circumstances (Constant loud whistles, car horns, physical resistance, people screaming, previous threats and previous bodily injuries from the insurgent crowd, and lastly, the presence of a loaded firearm in close proximity to the restraining agents, in short total chaos) will be considered as extenuating circumstances.
Why do they want Noem and Patel out? Because they are doing their job well. Lowest murder rate since they started keeping records. Thousands of bad guys removed from the streets. Cities across the nation have worked WITH ICE and no deaths of “innocents”.
Would someone purchase him some spectacles or a new TV? One that has more than FOX on it. Delete his browser (You can leave the porn unless it is child porn, then turn it over to the police, not the government; they will just watch it over and over) and block Gateway Pundit.
Question for you @Nathan57 Is it lawful for an ICE agent to shove a “WOMAN” to the ground for telling them you don’t like what they are doing? “If this is true, and I hope it is. I know some people around here I am going to shove to the ground.”Attention, you less evolved people: this is what is intended, as a witticism. Oh, shiat, sorry, a “joke”…
Can I see a show of hands here? Who doesn’t carry extra mags with them?
I guess if you do according to the government, you are an insurrectionist and out looking for people to mass murder.
Wait a second now… I believe I have had an epiphany. I can now see clearly why the government believes this; they themselves are out on the streets with guns and multiple mags, killing people. Hhhhmmm. It makes sense now.
9 bullets into him. Let’s see what happens if you go to trial and tell the judge, “I had to shoot him 9 times,” and don’t do jail time. Twice is fine, but now it is murder.
The law should apply to everyone equally and equitably. Not to mention they have received training for these situations, and John Q. Public has not, and you are going to hold John Q. Public to a higher standard? That is just absurd…
Valid point. Heard some officials say things his week - I was surprised by them and wished they never said it. I’m sure it’s complex and I don’t know the half of it; But I wonder - as -what comes to mind is -
