Two things can be true:

Ice video is not good optics.

Guy allegedly came to a protest with a gun, two mags and no ID. Easy to say he was a problem.

What’s wrong with 2 mags?

ICE may very well have thwarted a mass shooting. Leftcucks need to count their blessings.

It’s a bad look, but a lot of questions remain. Did the guy have a concealed carry permit? Did he confront agents or an agent. Did he pull the gun out while they were attempting to obtain information from him?

Having a gun and interfering with federal law enforcement, yes that’s a crime.

Kyle Rittenhouse didn't attack anyone. He was the victim of repeated assaults. Indeed had he not been armed he might have been seriously injured or worse. Should he have even been there? You can argue that point .

We will never know this man's intent but he should never have been where he was to begin with, involving himself in LEO business, armed as he was.

Resisting arrest.

It depends on the state.

Or he could have been going to the donut shop.

It’s ok when a liberal does it

It’s not ok when a conservative does it (Rittenhouse)

Why show up with a gun at all? Unless you’re scared about the other protesters.

The irony is this: if this had happened in any country where owning a gun is illegal, our resident leftist circus seals would be hooping and hollering in defense of law enforcement

Nothing's illegal in Minneshita except for common sense.

Nothing about a concealed carry permit, although that is less relevant.
From the videos, they seemed to have pounced on him when he was coming to the aid and pulling another protester. But don’t know if he confronted them before. I suspect if he did, they would have got him then.
Can’t tell if he pulled the gun. What we can tell from the pink lady video in slow motion is that the gun in question was removed by an agent before shooting him

I'm sure ICE agents were the provocateurs and this man was 100% minding his own business, probably just running an errand and inadvertently ran in to an ICE operation, happens all the time.

He was cleanup crew, not protest crew.

His firearm was purely for defensive and security purposes. And they thought it was a good idea to attack him anyway.

But regardless, I'll wait for the deets on this shooting. Body can footage will be out in a day or two and we'll know what happened.

Pre-2026 Bongino Rule, folks. Let's deploy it.
