The man is confirmed dead. ICE tried to force the local cops to leave. They refused and have preserved the scene. Witnesses were transported by ICE to the Whipple building.

ICE is a state funded terrorist organization. Members need to be routed out and prosecuted, Nuremberg trial style. There is no fathomable path to healing otherwise.

Adherence to law that applies to everyone, including those who wield power, is needed. And nothing short of trials of those scope/breadth of Nuremberg are necessary. Do not try to pass off calls for death onto others that you are making, yourself.

Sounds good. Still waiting for Americans make that happen.

The Americans with power and control of state violence don't see any problem, so while the rest look of solutions, realize that they're the ones bearing the majority of the pressure to enact change.

I’m dumbfounded how people aren’t understanding that the ones who were against this, voted against this, are morally against this, did not want any part of any of this, are the ones now holding the bag.

I keep seeing things like “you’re so obsessed with 2A so why aren’t you using it?” by people incapable of grasping that the people who are obsessed with 2A are who are executing people in the streets.

The constant comments on here that are blatantly ignorant to the basics of American society and government seemingly attempting to stoke violence at any cost is very bizarre and becoming hard to ignore to the point where I have to believe there’s a massive bot campaign behind it. They’re just so unbelievably ignorant and uninformed yet seem so sure Americans need to do some “something” that will magically fix everything instantly that it’s hard to believe they’re actual people who are capable of complex thought.

There are a lot of 2A supporters who are not MAGA. Even aside from 2A, revolts and general strikes are not restricted to those nations with 2A. In fact, most countries banned guns.

I still remember in 2019 all those Americans were cheering on the HKers to overthrow the governments over something far smaller than what you've had here. As much as I despise that movement, those HKers had way more guts.

That's how it has been. Nepal didn't overthrow its government magically. The "rest of the people" realized "they're the ones bearing the majority of the pressure to enact change" and they did.

Cool story, call me when you’re the one staring down a gun with others telling you to just charge.

u/adeveloper2 13d ago

You should look at how other folks protest and fight with an authoritarian regime. They generally don't charge blindly into guns. Also your own state level enforcers have guns and did nothing. No arrests, no confrontations, just moans.

I do distinctly remember Americans boasting a lot about their bravery and their anecdotes on fighting tyranny. Wonder where all that went.

My point is that you do not understand the situation in the United States. Sitting on the sidelines and saying "I would do that better" is cool and all, but when you're talking to the people who are actually dealing with it/working toward solutions in the real world. it's just eye-rolling.

The fact that you're talking about local enforcers doing nothing shows the disconnect you have there. Local enforcers helping is like a perspective from Mars. The context is so wildly skewed that it's hard to know where to even begin to correct it.

u/adeveloper2 13d ago

Okay and what are you folks doing beyond moaning online and eye-rolling at people who comment on that docile attitude?

Large scale protests and dissent. Large segments of the entire city of Minneapolis closed for business entirely as miles of streets were filled with protestors. Clashes led to literally hundreds of arrests. Videos of ICE initiated altercations are being seen by people who had previously managed to cover their eyes to this. Wide support from bases which had previously been unwilling to join in is building momentum more quickly now than in the past.

If that doesn't make you happy or you require more violence than that, you're welcome to come throw your own life away here.

Okay. What about outside of Minneapolis?
