Didn’t take much to coax you to agree that those Gestapo is out of order and the thug chief is in Marla-go. Too easy dealing with low information MAGA.

very funny , I have agreed to nothing of the sort , I merely used your descriptive to emphasise the dangers involved and the obvious lack of logical thought on the behalf of those deciding to intimidate what they have already decided are trigger happy armed psycho's

its just like using the mouth of a "sleeping" crocodile for a <deleted> absolutely stupid to the point of being indicative of insanity and anybody doing so deserves not sympathy but therapy of some sort

You know it as well as I do so stop making a fool of yourself

You obviously consider Trumps followers as being stupid, yet not so stupid to intimidate armed officers knowing full well what could happen , and with a real life example to make it relatively easy to understand even for the most intellectually challenged lefty

Why not go and join them I think you would fit in just fine

No, TRUMP gets to say it. "Never mind those Epstein files, folks! Put them out of your minds! I have! Look, instead, at the huge, deadly mess I have created in Minneapolis! Concentrate on that, for heaven's sake! I am! And, besides, there is nothing in the files anyway, which is why I am fighting so hard for you to keep you from seeing them! Waste of your time! Now, if you have a minute, I'm selling genuine MAGA hats that I have personally worn for just $99.99! Step right up!"

I'm surprised your not wearing your Senior citizens cap along with your Zimmer frame riding in a golf cart in a rich area

Don't waste time being concerned about this old man your time is ticking ....your going soon !

Daft question, but law enforcement officers should be very wary of the ICE cowboys.....

There are still morons that think ICE agents are not law enforcing officers.

Careful using the word 'morons', especially in your case, you are supporting the killing of American civilians instead of your ICE being trained to handle a situation...........

WHAT HAPPENS IF FORGET YOUR GUN IN YOUR CARRY ON?

In 2019, the TSA confiscated 4,432 guns at security checkpoints in US airports nationwide. 87% percent of those guns were loaded. With the total number of guns consociated up 7% since 2017, more and more people each year are forgetting their firearms in their carry-on baggage.

According to former TSA federal security director at Midway Airport, Kevin McCarthy, Most people just forget . . [t]he two most common excuses are, ‘I didn’t know it was there’ and ‘I just forgot.’ The ones we’ve encountered don’t have any ill intent.”[2]

A concealed carrier who is "motivated" to carry every time they leave the house might, after a long day, fail to realize they are still carrying until they need to go to a prohibited area.

ICE is not carrying out law enforcement. They are the opposite of law enforcement to maintain public order, safety and upholding the law. They are untrained and has no regards to safety and upholding the law and they shoot and killed their own citizens

What's unfolding in Minneapolis is a stark testament to the profound moral crisis facing the US under trumpian-rule!

We are seeing concerned local citizens, braving the biting cold, standing as a courageous frontline against an evil regime whose actions increasingly betray the fascist hallmarks of their unaccountable power; militarized repression of dissent; and, the dehumanization of those who dare to oppose it.

This struggle for justice by the people of Minneapolis is a valiant defense of fundamental rights as decreed in the First Amendment, while federal agents continue to operate with terrifying impunity and government blessing. Each frozen person in the protest is a rebuke to the vile system that places the cruelty of enforcement above the community's basic right to protest against a government bereft of any human decency.

Yet, this tragic episode with the death of Alex Pretti (who was a healer, not a combatant) forces a deeper reckoning. The protesters’ righteous cause is being met with a level of brutal escalation that risks rendering their sacrifice Pyrrhic.

With a second civilian now dead at the hands of a federal agent, and the government machinery swiftly moving to label these citizens as "terrorists", the government's strategy becomes crystal clear: to justify further violence by criminalizing anyone who dissents.

For those brave people of Minneapolis, the cold is not the only deadly enemy they face; it is the chilling and calculated narrative of a power structure that would rather vilify and bury its victims than address the foundational injustices that forced people into the streets.

These citizens' fight for their community continues, but at a mounting cost that highlights the trumpian-regime's utter lack of morals or scruples.

Trump's "terrorists" are, for me at least, democracy's true "patriots"!

These are not just concerned local citizens. These "people " are supported by extreme Socialist/Marxist organized groups. You have to look at other media outlets and do research and get off the kool aid. These peeps are protecting violent illegal immigrants.

Same answer. ICE not function as a law enforcement agency.

The 2 killed are US citizens not illegals.

Why so hard to understand.

There is a difference between a gun in a bag (that has happened to me although I caught it in time) and stuffing a full size combat pistol in your pants with two magazines and heading off to confront LE and help folks resist arrest.

One does not "fail to realize" they have a 2 pounds of metal stuffed in their pants. I wonder what holster rig this dude was using, if any, that would be extremely telling as to his motivation

Yes -- you remembered; maybe he didn't.

My question is why a "protester" was carrying a full sized pistol with two magazines and an optical sight to a protest.

Civilians that carry concealed for self defense generally dont carry full sized SIGs with an optical sight. Those are designed for open carry, service use and home defense.

So that was wrong, was it? But when MAGA fanboys do it it's OK? Below is a tweet detailing just a small portion of protests where MAGA guys have brought assault weapons.

Tell me you're not a total hypocrite, okay?😆

The laws they are enforcing are those related to the detention and removal of illegal immigrants , which they are enforcing , or at least attempting to enforce and uphold , they are not "the police" and are not responsible for maintaining public order.

Rightly or wrongly, those who choose to interfere with ICE are, as has been seen twice in a matter of days, very likely to be shot I think we can all agree on that, denial would be pointless.

Those who feel the need to show their outrage , are of course entitled to the views they enthusiastically express from behind the safety of their keyboards, although if they really cared at all for the safety of the protestors , they might consider warning potential protestors of the dangers involved in such direct action, .

I have not read one post that has warned of the inherent dangers of this behaviour so in effect they are encouraging further action of this nature from people who are obviously unable to see the dangers for themselves,

I will seek to redress this in my next post

I have not. But I am only suggesting there may be other reasons for his carrying the gun other than with the intent to cause havoc.
