Good parroting of propaganda. Pretti was armed and had a concealed carry permit to do so. He was shot AFTER being disarmed. Goode was driving away in accordance with the instructions of an ICE officer. The fearful agent had stepped in front of the car but was avoided by the driver and opened fire as she was leaving

Alex Pretti.......Renee Nicole Goode

Iran ‘to allow Chinese ships’ through Strait of Hormuz Iran may allow Hormuz oil shipments if traded in yuan: Report - Türkiye Today Big threat to the 'oil dollar'! BRICS created a currency union to challenge the USD. This totally undermines it and could it force the US to pay its debts? Mass sell off of US treasury bonds by China and Gulf States to follow?

Kristi Noem shot her dog, Cricket, because she described the dog as aggressive, untrainable, and a threat to her children and a neighbor’s livestock. Seems like she has already demonstrated similar behaviour to 'Cricket'? ****Bold font removed****

Or we will come back and bomb them into harmony and peace again.

What?! Are you suggesting Trump is doing this to help the Russian economy. OMG!! That goes completely against his principles.

Ok, so now Thailand, and other countries, will have to get their oil from places like Venezuela (Trump just carried out regime change and took control) and Nigeria (where Trump has just sent soldiers to train their military to defend Christians). Purely coincidence?

Only Point 2?!!!!!

I won't disagree with you on that one. But the list of Trump pardons is quite extensive - List of people granted executive clemency in the second Trump presidency - Wikipedia Lots of tax evasion, wire fraud, money laundering and drug trafficking in those. It seems Biden pardoned family whilst Trump pardons 'family'...or people that can pay a lot.

Breaking news is that he has just been arrested and taken into custody by police. And he still gets food and lodging paid for by the taxpayers!!!

My pleasure. I have a degree in stating the obvious. 😇

There may be an unnecessary 'J' in your first line?

"I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people." –Dan Quayle - CSMonitor.com Even then, a fake quote attributed to Dan Quayle

Tell that to the Poles, Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Swedes, Finns and Norwegians; not forgetting the Romanians and Ukrainians! The Islamic threats have been shepherded in from states under the Russian sphere of influence by the Russians. Either to overload the finances of the European states in dealing with refugees, or to foster radicalist attacks on the system and make it look weak.

Exactly! Some Western politicians only import them for fun and then send them back.

Ok look, America's allies are on the front lines investigating royalty, politicians and billionaires for sexual abuse of children. Seems Trump is staying back from the front lines in this case!

They don't exist... They're fake..... It's a hoax....... They exonerate me!

Blanche says DOJ unable to investigate tips about Trump’s involvement with Epstein "Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday that federal investigators are unable to investigate various tips the FBI received about President Trump’s alleged involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. Blanche told host Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union” that some tips were anonymous and relied on second-hand information, which he said is “not something that can be really investigated.” Completely missing the point of thorough investigation. When in receipt of allegations from multiple anonymous sources it is necessary to investigate. The very fact that multiple, apparently independent, sources are making reports or allegations of a certain type of behaviour or act by an accused suggests there may be some truth in the allegations. In the police force I served in, each allegation was investigated and, if not proven, held on file and reexamined whenever the accused was subject to another allegation. Any similarity in the type of behaviour or action showed that it was more likely that the officer had committed the act. Basically, if you are accused of the same thing by three independent people with apparently no knowledge of each other it is highly likely that the accused actually did it. But, to digress. When criminal investigation officers were accused of hanging a suspect by his ankles out of a 4th floor window until he confessed, this was thought to be too outrageous to be true. Until, of course, the suspect pointed out that he had written his name upside on the wall at the time. That did not end well!

😮, well there's a surprise! Who would have thought?

Thank you for that historical insight, very informative and caused me to read up on it. Sadly, I do not think that the current population of Iran, which is a few generations indoctrinated into a hate for America and the West since the removal of the Shah and the Embassy Siege, will give much weight to something that happened 2500 years ago. I suspect that very few of them are aware of it, and even fewer have been taught it. For Israel that is a forlorn hope; and recently they have shown no compunction about unnecessary civilian casualties or destruction of civil infrastructure.

I sincerely hope so.

That defence worked well at the Nuremberg war crimes trials.

I do apologise, my posts seem to keep distracting him.

After receiving a large amount of pepper spray to the face Mr. Pretti was struggling to see and breathe; suffering severe burning and pain an involuntary reaction would have been to seek fresh air or something to rinse the pepper spray out. He would not have been in a position to attack officers as he could not see them to aim a weapon which he had NOT taken from its holster. There is a good reason why it is carried by hikers afraid of bear attacks. Attempting to grab him at this point would have caused a 'fight or flight' reaction and he was unable to do either as several ICE officers were trying to hold him down. Persons in pain or panic are regularly recorded as showing incredible strength so subduing him, which was unnecessary in the first place, would have been very difficult. There was absolutely no need to immediately try to subdue him immediately after the pepper spray. Professionally trained and competent officers would have stood back and observed.
