I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

I'm strongly pro 2A, and this has been on my mind a lot. If 'shoot to kill' is your first thought, you shouldn't own a firearm.
The problem isn't that they 'lack training'. The problem is they want to kill with impunity.

Think about how although Pretti was a gunowner, when he saw someone being attacked his first response wasn't to use the gun but to help them up and ask them if they're ok.
It wasn't even on his mind that a gun would be useful.
Compare that to the paranoia of rightwing gun culture.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.
Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

I am horrified by what happened in Minneapolis. Another civilian shot in the street by Trump’s DHS. This is beyond unacceptable. I will continue to oppose ICE funding and to fight for real accountability as we see federal agents repeatedly use deadly force without consequences.

Yeah let's give them more training, that's gonna solve it! They can still execute people, but they'll look better and be faster! That's the solution, Governor M(o)ore Money For ICE cracked the code!
Again and again, we see that ICE lacks accountability and agents lack training for the operations they’re being sent on.
This reckless pattern of violence carried out by the Department of Homeland Security is endangering our communities. Not protecting them. This must stop.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

We fucking warned people back then, and were killed and beaten for it.
So hey, libs? Fucking cope. You had a chance to stop this, and you decided that executing Black people was fine. Now that they're killing white people too, you're mad?
Damn. That sucks. Welcome to the shitshow, buckle up.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

I look forward to the day I step outside and hear the creak of a branch straining, and look up to see the corpse of an ICE agent swinging in the wind, his flesh as rotten as his soul, his blood as frozen as his heart.
May death find every single one of them.
