32. My suggestion is that some governors should make it clear to the Feds
Mon Apr 28, 2025, 03:56 AM

that if the State or local police see unidentified people with guns trying to grab other people, no matter where it happens, the State and local police are being authorized to assume it is a kidnapping and are authorized to use any force necessary to stop the kidnapping up to and including deadly force.

I know the arguments against such a move such as giving Crumb The 1st an excuse to declare all kinds of things. But I would simply point out that there must be a price to pay for kidnapping people and the local authorities cannot just stand by. Strongly worded letters and court cases lasting months and years don't get it when it is all being ignored.

The Feds know damned well they do not need to do this in the manner they are currently. They can get the proper arrest warrants and then serve and apprehend. Just like before. Before a time when they were given carte blanche to become the American Gestapo. In fact they should have that tag applied during any reference to ICE. It should now be ICE-American Gestapo or ICE-AG.Behave like it and you deserve to wear the label. Period.
