I know you wish this so badly to be true.

I know how to read polls. It's not about "wishing". It's about understanding reality.

I'll save the "I told you so's" until November

You believed Hillary had a "95% chance of winning" too, huh?

No one is siding with the idea of protecting rapists and illegals.


This is self evident. Trump needs to do more, not less. The 'protests' are astroturf, nothing more.

I'm sure you'll try to claim fraud, though. That's the last stage of denial.

You're the one denying fraud, genius.

You just aren't learing your lesson too well, are you?

So is interfering with an ICE officer from do his/her job a crime? I say it is. Is it legal to carry a firearm while committing a crime? Permit or not, I say no. And it makes us law abiding permit holders look bad.

Only makes my point more.

He came LOOKING for trouble. He was a trained agitator, repeatedly interfering, not some random concerned citizen.

Thought there were 10 commandments? And why is religion relevant to this?

I agree.

Because..... everything we've seen in Minnesota is orchestrated by design and maximum emotional trauma. IOW, it is Ground Zero for crisis acting, AI drama, and theatrical shenanigans.

The 2A issue is understandably causing cognitive dissonance conflicts (both sides of the argument may/may not simultaneously both be a valid position.)

Bouncing from this story HERE to there to here to there -- we are being set up by multiple psyops.

I'm not picking a side here, but if it's legal to carry a gun then why question carrying it outside at a public protest. Especially if it's concealed. However, I've also seen some news articles referencing claims by the DHS that it's unlawful to carry around a protest.

How often do we see random attacks and someone says I sure wish someone had a gun to stop it. Aren't there a lot of gun carrying advocates who claim to always be strapped? I'm sure someone can make a valid response to this given the circumstances, but I just don't want anyone to be hypocritical here.

My question to the idea it's unlawful to carry around a protest. What if you are walking around the streets and a random protest breaks out around you, but you are already conceal carrying. Are you automatically breaking a law? Seems difficult to decipher this and is this a reach by the DHS?

I definitely don't think anyone should be flaunting a weapon around a protest, but I'm not sure that this guy was doing that. I also think people are taking a risk being at these protests. Whether that risk is worth it is up to the individual.

And I have one more question and then I am out of here. The video is really hard for me tell what went down, but is it possible the gun went off when someone else took it off the guy? The timing seems like that is possible, but if I watched a doctored video then forgive me. It's still difficult to tell.

MKH is correct in her assessment about brandishing a gun

I think I’ve seen only one or two people here admit that Gnome was wrong when she said (and keeps repeating) that he “brandished a gun”.
She flat out lied. Keep in mind she is secretary of homeland security, one of the top dogs in our administration

There’s absolutely nothing that points to that. If anyone has any evidence that he was brandishing a gun, we would love to see it.

I suppose that depends on the state's laws.

Something happened... it doesn't seem like he was walking around minding his own business at the time this went down.

If one is CC and minding their own business, it seems inconceivable that they'd garner the attention of law enforcement.

Yes... and very rarely do you hear of such people becoming at odds with LE. I wonder why...

Still doesn't sit well with me if they disarmed him and fired his gun that ended up with them mag dumping the guy. If that's how it went down. I'm still open to learning all the facts.

Maybe I'm wrong. I don't think these protests or being around them are worth the risk, but that's me.

Yeah, I appreciate that. I am open to learning all of the facts about this before fully judging. Usually we learn more to these stories, but it looked like they maced the guy and disarmed him before a shot went off. I don't know how I would respond to being maced, but it wouldn't be to reach for a gun if it came from law enforcement. I'm not even saying he reached for anything. I just don't think I could fully follow any directions after getting maced. I would probably be rubbing my eyes or trying to run away for some water. Kind of a natural reaction, but yes, I would like to learn more about what exactly went down here.

Wild series of events and I just don't think it's worth the risk, but I understand people are passionate about what they believe in.

bullshite. It was clearly a terrible decision by multiple agents. Awful for MAGA and the response from Trump and his team is almost worse.

Are you serious, Winnie?

You have the whole of government leadership in MN fanning the flames and even taking part in organizing this felonious fracas and YOU don't think this was inevitable?

Sure, it also doesn't mean police have to wait to be shot first to eliminate a threat. You are much more of a threat to them when you are fighting with them and have a gun. That is your right, sure. But it also makes you more of a threat and officers have a right to defend themselves and avoid being shot when a legitimate threat is posed to them.

Decisions and illegal actions have consequences.
