the ICE agents and BP are their fellow travelers... they cannot imagine ICE shooting THEM plus the added bonus that this is their fantasy, to kill liberals and lesbians and anyone non-white.

It doesn't matter if the means are legal or illegal to them whether it's through police brutality or some vigilante violence they'll eat it up & cheer. Sick mf all of them

The Guardians Of Pedophiles killed it.

Welcome to Violent Chaos Land, because of them.

This is probably what the fascists were hoping for.

So I did a search for "Sons of Liberty die mad about it" (from the background logo in the pic) and here's what I found:

It is still a good idea to look both ways before crossing the street, though.

I learned that in first grade.

It is not the guns you carry that make you dangerous to despots and dictators. It is the guns nobody know you have.

Look both ways!

Hope you are doing OK. I can't believe what is happening in Minnesota.

This particular execution was perpetrated against someone bearing witness to atrocities imposed on minority communities.

They’ll interpret this exactly how the narrative is being framed; and the comfort in their 2A’s that are tucked into their waistband will be defended at all cost.

while prostrate on the ground held by six officers. Why wasn’t the one slugging the suspect trying to secure his hands?

These guys are not trained. Most appear to be just unprofessional yahoos with a mask, a badge (sometimes), and a gun.

An ICE guy ran up to him and took the gun and ran. There are videos all over the reddit /minneapolis page of this from different perspectives. He had no gun when he was shot, and he was pinned to the ground. The guy who shot him had 8 years at DHS.

Nothing's adding up the way they say it is. Nothing.

He was sprayed point blank in the face with pepper spray just seconds before he was dragged to the ground. He was in the middle of trying to help a woman up who had just been pushed to the ground by ICE guys. They were both sprayed in the face then.

or holstered gun.

...because the federal government has progressed from just attacking a narrow set of people in the country to what can only be percieved as outright war on ANYONE in America, citizens or not, law-abiding or not who they decide is against their self-appointed interests.

I think most Americans already percieved that. This should bring an unprecedented number to the streets, and I would hope that republicans are peeing themselves at the prospect.

They should spend this time watching documentaries from other nations whose people rose up and deposed murderous autocrats.

While exercising his first and second amendment rights.

Cognitive dissonance means you will change whatever it takes to make you comfortable again. When you are a brainwashed cult member, you can't change your believe in the people in power over you. So, to eliminate your discomfort, you will accept every and any excuse they give you. The cognitive dissonance is what makes them not believe the videos - it won't make them change their mind about Trump and his goons.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - THAT was the snap: the rejection of any and all facts and clear evidence.

in the hearts and minds of the individuals who we know as the hardened trumpcult.

And that's how deep it will be for the foreseeable future for at least 20% of the population of this fucked-up country.

It was always about fomenting highly-armed (and well-financed) paramilitaries - with "absolute immunity" and at the disposal of whomever they could use as a fascist dictator.

For anyone else - as you noted - the 2nd Amendment doesn't apply - and exercise thereof, however prudent (as in this case), will be used as a pretext to execute said person.

Especially if perceived to be a "lib'rul."

If they cannot get liberals to be violent, so they can bring out the insurrection act, then they turn to people to anger because they have been proven violent. J6 was not a friendly tour group.

When it comes to mango Mussolini. I mean they used to scream endlessly about the "Epstein Files" and now they scream its a Democratic plot against Trump.
They now love pedophiles and even blame the little girls themselves for causing it.

The Republican Party is a domestic terrorist organization and should be disbanded. It's not a difference of opinion. It's moral and ethical imperative.

It's A-okay if the person with the weapon is wearing your team's jersey.

He's unemployable otherwise.

He's the darling of the RWNJ's.

They know they are full of shit.

But the Fascists will probably ignore it.

These people can barely walk and chew gum at the same time, and we're assuming they can hold two separate thoughts or beliefs simultaneously?

The ICE-goons can commit murder and tell lies about their actions because ... reasons. Because they are ICE and they don't need any other reason. But on the same token they aren't police officers, because then they would have to follow standard LEO procedures. They would be required to have many months of training, and they would have to answer to superiors. Nope, none of that for them.

now that it's actually here, they not only SUPPORT tyranny, they PARTICIPATE

So they don't believe the true recorded facts of the murder.

Instead they believe every word that comes out of DHS, ICE and of course Der Chump.

We really are at an inflection point.

It's not just the ICE and CBP murderous, violent and illegal actions that are piling up around the country - even in Maine for fuck's sake - it's the avalanche of chaos and collapse brought on by tariffs, illegal "wars" and the price of beef, to name a few.

The snapping will happen before the mid terms but then there's the huge likelihood the Fascist Fucks will make it worse after the Dems sweep.

The Dems in office now and in the future cannot STAND BY! I'm glad to see Walz activating the National Guard and working closely with the Police of Minneapolis. ACTION.

The guy should definitely have not had a gun at a peaceful protest. Democratic leaders should be telling all peaceful protesters that guns should not be brought to protests. It may be too late. I hope not.

Right wing 2A absolutists are definitely going to defend this guy's right to carry his gun at a public event billed as peaceful protest. They are going to be very validated by this. That's not good. Not good at all.

It's at least one angle we need to be screaming from the rooftops about this blatant abuse of power.

There are multiple videos showing the man was both disarmed when he was shot and was at no point brandishing his lawfully carried weapon at the ICE agents.

They walked right through his constitutional right to carry and twisted it back on him as an excuse for his killing. All while he broke no laws nor protocols for properly carrying his firearm.

when liberals take over?

Clearly not likely, in MAGA minds.

I remember Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge killed 5July 16 had a gun in his pocket not going for it. The very next day, 6July16
Philando Castile from Minnesota was shot and killed by a cop after telling him he was legally carrying a gun gun but was going for his wallet.
Of course both these men were black so nobody cared. What a sick country this is. Alex Pretti was a caring VA nurse - he was a helper.
All the vets who voted for this traitorous draft dodger should be scorned. They will not take away my pride in faithfully serving my country.

If ICE screws up and kills a maga by mistake that would be interesting to see what would happen.

And it will consumed, willingly.

ICE can’t murder enough people to please them. I’ve seen that scum on FB and X. They are the worst of the worst. The only solace I take is knowing they will rot in hell.

Prong No 1: The victim is someone ICE does not like.
Prong No 2: The victim is carrying a firearm.

Note: ICE feels it has free rein to spontaneously attack (absent provocation) any victim in order to determine if that victim meets the aforesaid two-prong test. If the test requirements are met, it is within ICE's prerogative to summarily execute the individual.

This is what fascism is.

...MalAdministration.

It appears that Turnip himself posted this gem to Truthless Social:

"HE HAD A GUN, ONLY CRIMINALS CARRY GUNS ON OUR STREETS, WE NEED LAW AND ORDER."

I don't think this will actually go over well with MAGAs who've been pushing for years the idea that we all need to be able--no, make that: have a responsibility--to carry as many guns of whatever type wherever we want because of some nonsense about a good guy with a gun.

They are stupid, but they actually aren't THAT stupid.

Disarming someone with a carry permit and then killing them and then saying anyone exercising their "2A rights" is a criminal will definitely remind a lot of them how they always said they needed guns to protect themselves FROM the government.

Liberal or not, he was one of them: a legal gun owner with a permit carrying his weapon of choice. If those turn out to be the true facts, this will make a lot of them sit up and take notice--as horrible as they are....

The victim here intervene in the assaults made on two women.

Was because of the (legal) concealed weapon he was carrying, but because of the unconcealed camera-phone he was carrying.

and not some Gaslit version Full of Lies by Screw you Over "news".

Thanks for making This So Clear What Happened on DU, EarlG.

Rules and laws are a joke to them, just an excuse to be cruel to us.

The only thing they believe in is white good, black bad; man good, woman bad; Christian good, others bad.

Every other "principle" is just crap they say to try to control us.

The rest of America sincerely hopes and prays that you care more about this horrendous and dangerous problem than your elected Republican officials who are complicit in their silence.

===================

from civil war with the insurrection act, and therefore have an excuse to "postpone" elections. In this scenario, it doesn't matter if a few of the MAGA base peel off.

The cognitive dissonance is insane.

It's those who don't who are on the verge.

Until then, it’s business as usual for the constitution cherry picking fascists
