Read. The incident described had no one assaulting law enforcement.

> It is tiring to hear law enforcement be described as a weapon. Law enforcement keeps society functioning. Journalists and public figures who rule up people to be against the law are the real bad actors here trying to subvert American society.

ICE is against the law. Here's some videos of them doing illegal things.

He was helping up a woman that was on the ground. LEO needlessly got involved and started and escalated the "shoving match."

Dude. LEO shot him on purpose. You use the passive voice like it was a natural disaster or accident. He had no fire arm on him at the time of the shooting. Why are you so insistent on spinning things this way?

Was that the day he died? Or earlier?
you claim Pretti interfered with LE from performing their duties.

What causes you to believe that?

Do you think surrendering combatants should be killed?
He doesn't even have to lie about what he meant. Trump-whisperers like 0xy do it for free.
Allll of your comments have been disparaging Pretti, and his attitude, his intentions, and so on. It is obvious.

Only when you're called out, do you mention self defense. Glad to see you have shame. Bye.

You keep implying it without explicitly saying it:

You, ljsprague, believe Alex Pretti was executed for committing an offense.

Do you dispute this?

Was he executed for committing an offense(which is what you seem to be getting at, by making assumptions about Pretti, instead of focusing on self-defense)?

I hope you don't think that, that would be honestly disgusting. I'd strongly disagree with your stance for vigilantism and against law-and-order.

Or was he killed in self defense? And if so, why would the ICE agents be in fear for their life? I didn't see a reason myself but I want to know your perspective. Was there something in the video?

having a gun = intent to interfere?

Interesting. Does having intent to interfere deserve execution?

Oh edit to add: did he interfere? And if so how?

Unclear to me if he was a protestor, he seemed to just be a guy with a camera phone and tried to help a woman stand up.

What are you implying, ljsprague?

I'm taking a charitable interpretation of your take for sure. I do see the value of additional levers, but I don't think realistically it would be feasible to make such a court.

Counter-point: I don't think Chauvin would've been brought to justice if he were tried in some kind of cop-court.

I'm open minded though, I appreciate your perspective, gave me food for thought.

Welcome to the free marketplace of ideas, dude. Talk about the issue I'm talking about instead of ranting on some vague generalization about how "believing your own eyes" is bad sometimes, thus is always bad???

If someone were talking disprovable nonsense about fairies, it would be totally fair to bring up counter-evidence. This comment of yours is substanceless.

If someone has a firearm and resists arrest... you arrest him.

Is there proof of lethal self-defence being required? Then show the proof of that, nothing has come out in support of that.

Your hypothetical is big, if true... but it's not.

You're welcome. Happy to see evidence and call it like it is.

I trust my eyes over billionare-funded Fox News and authority figures, which is your perspective I could get anywhere.

And yet the videos show that they didn't enforce the law. It's right there in the videos.
You spend more time posting excuses to not read than it would take to read. You don't deserve a pardon for not clicking on a link...
DHS lies as easily as they breathe. They have proven they cannot be believed.

A previous example:

You can watch the video for yourself of an ICE masked thug grabbing a man's carotid artery, when NOT facing a deadly threat, against DOJ rules. You can watch him seize and his eyes roll back. And you can choose to believe your eyes or DHS' lies. What do you think, zahlman?

They should be seen in a normal court like the rest of us peasants.

No star courts.

They're not simply enforcing laws on the books. They're breaking them.

DHS denying legal council to detainees.

ICE using chokeholds in defiance of DOJ standards for use of force.

Is this new information to you, koolba? Or do you believe this is enforcement of laws on the books?

> they didn’t arrest the co-conspirator that egged the decedent on

Glad to see you've abandoned trying to defend your lie that shooting at a vehicle is self-defence and moved on to another nonsense argument. But co-conspirator in what crime?

> save that for BlueSky where you can have a safe space.

I don't need a safe space from you. Your trolling doesn't affect me.

They did do something wrong. Shooting at a vehicle is not self defense. That is a DOJ rule which no doubt you've seen in these several threads you frequent and troll.
He wasn't hit. Is he in the hospital or something, do you have a source for that? he didn't even fall over.

> Tit for tat!

He shot her 3 times, she shot him 0 times. You're expressing glee over her death. You are sick.

Thanks. I wonder why parent commenter likes and trusts him to interpret a killing on video. Weird.
Re:ICE Is Going on a Surveillance Shopping Spree on Thursday January 08, 2026 @12:14AM (#46537453)
I watched the video too. Not sure what a 33 min Asmongold stream(your link) has to do with it. Does he add some valuable analysis? What's his authority or expertise on the matter?
Re:ICE Is Going on a Surveillance Shopping Spree on Wednesday January 07, 2026 @09:19PM (#46536349)
They murdered someone today. They did not follow their training.

No, it was a plurality, not a majority.
