I don’t even know what else to add to this headline. This is so fucked up and tragic scary and infuriating and it will in no way slow the resistance.

    Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.”“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said.

    Heller said it appeared the woman accelerated, and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles, and could be seen slumped over inside her car.

    Horrifying

            While I do agree that the US did this to themselves, it is still obvious that Russia fully supports useful idiots in every country around the globe, to split and weaken the countries. In the US, it was Trump, in Germany it’s the AfD. It is interesting to me that it’s almost exclusively Nazis that betray their own contries because they love their ssugar daddy Putin so much.

            am a passificst, so the regularity and casualness of people telling me I should nut up and kill a politician is very disturbing to me on many levels.

            I don’t think pacifists should be arming up and shooting anyone. I think people who cling to their guns and talk about fighting for freedom need to nut up or shut up (and I’m fine with the latter, just shut up already).

            I dont think further violence has ever really fixed this problem and I dont believe that’s going to magically change now.

            I think this is naive. Violence is an incredibly effective tool at degrading organizational capacity, destroying institutional memory, and quelling public opposition.

            When you’re dealing with ICE agents who can cavalierly execute civilians in public, I would love all three of those things to befall them, because I don’t want an organization with the capacity, the knowledge, and the public platform to execute my neighbors.

            But insurgent violence comes with enormous personal risks, it requires professional training, and it rarely produces tangible results in a single lifetime (especially the lifetime of a militant insurgent). So I’m certainly not going to ask people to stick their necks out.

            I just get tired of people posting TikToks in Camo Cosplay, pretending they’re part of some Last Line of Defense Against Tyranny. You’re bad liars. No serious person takes the 2nd amendment seriously as a political deterrent.

                What I meant by that was that every time this sort of threat has been resolved by violence, it only sets the stage for future violence, because the true problem lies in the systems we use this violence to uphold.

                The systems are the people. And when you kick out a lynchpin - be it MLK or Charlie Kirk - that system can fail.

                The gun nuts do need to stfu about their hollow ideals though. I’d say we are in complete agreement on that note. If they were to actually ‘walk the walk’ however…I dread what that may usher in tbqh.

                We’ve got people being rammed in their cars and shot gangland style through the windows.

            Tbc, I dont know the most appropriate solution either

            I general strike would be a good first step. It would be very painful and risky given how many folks live paycheck to paycheck and how we have almost no social safety net, but it’s safer and more realistic than everyone trying to go full Rambo or Red Dawn.

            Remember at the start of COVID when we didn’t know how it spread and people were disinfecting their groceries and the feds and the bosses wanted everyone to keep working? It was only when the flight attendants threatened to strike and shut down air travel that they finally relented.

        While I agree, I don’t see how she would have been better off if carrying. In the end, if we all have guns, more of us are going to die than them. That said… I am thinking that getting a weapon if you can afford it, and afford to store it securely is a good idea.

    While speaking at an unrelated press conference in Brownsville, Texas, Kristi Noem said today’s shooting in Minneapolis was provoked by an “act of domestic terrorism”.

    The homeland security went on to say that the immigration agents on the scene were “attempting to push out their vehicle” due to the snow in the city. “The woman attacked them and those surrounding them and attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle. An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively shot to protect himself and the people around him,” Noem said.

      I hope for the best of most US citizens but I do hope they take some determination for their country.

      You weren’t always the best but you were better than what you’ve all let your country become. No one is ever best in all ways, but this is the same as Russia, Nazi Germany etc.

      It is the country of US citizens afterall, without action it’s only to be believed that the populace accept it.

      God the fucking comments on that video saying she was trying to run him over and “she wasn’t obeying an LEO”.

      1. You can see the shooters feet not in front of the vehicle between the legs of the guy grabbing the door as she starts to turn. He was not about to be run over.

      2. The shooter had his gun drawn approaching the front of the car to be able to shoot her that fast. No one else had their gun out. Why? That fuckhead is trigger happy and ready to kill.

      3. How do we know she wasn’t trying to get out of the way and we can’t hear if she was saying anything like “let me move first”.

        Didn’t deserve to be shot in the face. She was unarmed. Also looks really fucking guilty when the shooter covers their face and flees the scene.

          It’s not a matter of if they can prosecute it’s a matter of will. DHS is already claiming the victim was a domestic terrorist.

          Every single person that supports the Trump regime after watching that video should be treated with the same contempt as Nazis.

          What pissed me off, especially on places like Reddit, is the “no doxxing” rule. YOU CANT DOXX A PUBLIC SERVANT. Part of being a government worker is transparency and accountability. You can’t hide behind anonymity.

          The concept of doxxing goes way back before people tied their real identity to their online one. “Doxxing” or “providing documents” is the act of tying someone’s real life identity to their anonymous one against their will. It is not identifying someone in public or using it to shield them from due criticism for their actions.

          You can’t do that with people who are supposed to be unmasked in the first place, and are legally required to identify themselves as government agents as part of their job. It’s not “doxxing”, it’s basic fucking accountability and transparency.

          When Luigi happened we knew everything about his life. This happens and we don’t know who this asshat is. It’s complete bullshit. Any outlet protecting this piece of shit when they would air the dirty laundry of me and you out for the whole world in a heartbeat needs to be blacklisted.

          Edit: That fuckers name is Jonathan Ross. He murdered Renee Nicole Good. May he know no peace.

        He positioned himself so that the driver was made to look as if they were going to run him over. He could have easily stepped away and the gone after them later if they needed to stop them. This was so unnecessary.

          My opinion is that he was trying to get to the driver’s side and she accelerated but did not see him. He had his gun out to threaten her and opened fire instead of getting out of the way because he’s just the type of thin skinned piece of shit ICE hires.

          Yeah probably why she was trying to GTFO. If they snatched her she could end up in CECOT for all she knows.

      As a fellow MN resident, I’m right there with you. The trump gestapo needs to get the fuck out of our state!

      Yeah, notice how fast the shooter checked to make sure his mask was up and ran from the scene, didn’t go after the vehicle. He knew what he did and ran.

      What’s that phrase “if you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide” (granted I hate that statement, just the irony of who did the shooting, who did the running, and who they likely support…)

    Hunt him down and hang him In front of city hall. Any Nazis in blue try to stop you, add them to the gallows.

    These animals need to be put down, immediately.

        I’m sure there’s a mountain of evidence to the contrary, but I feel like torturing him while he sobs for his life before ending it would both be cathartic and a stern message to the rest of these vermin (I can call them vermin because I am describing the views they willingly ascribe to, I’m not basing it on their ethnicity).

        I’d sure feel better.

    Police surround your car and they are trying to get in and you want to leave?

    American police are allowed to kill you.

      About a few blocks away from where George Floyd was murdered too.

      I really wonder how our granddroids are going to feel reading about this period in history.

    I have been noticing the increased anger with people’s posts online, myself included. I just said yesterday that it feels like a tipping point and it’s not gonna take much to start the riots. This event feels like a heavy hand on the scale pushing everyone over the edge. I hope it’s not and we can continue the peaceful protests. But I don’t blame anyone for taking a stand.

      I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

      If I’m the jury for someone accused of doing anything to an ICE agent, you will not be found guilty.

        Don’t forget to tell your fellow jurists about jury nullification, but definitely don’t say anything about it when they’re interviewing you for a juror position.

        Anyone who agrees with this should not post that opinion online in a way that can be tied back to them. It can be used to remove you as a juror
