Yep, don't acknowledge the point about current leadership and their rhetoric. Ignore the videos you see online and ignore the picture of blood + brain matter splattered inside the car. I can't tell if you're trolling, an awful person, or just that fucking stupid. Maybe all three.

I’m not seeing this discussed very much but Minnesota governor Tim Walz has issued an order to prepare the state’s National Guard: > “To Minnesotans, on the National Guard, they’re there to protect you and protect your constitutional rights,” Walz said. “These are our neighbors. They don’t wear masks. They don’t bust in from somewhere else. They’re not here to cause hassles to you or what we saw today, the tragedy.”…

Note that an update today was provided that the State Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is unable to do anything meaningful to investigate the incident because the FBI has backtracked on previous indications of cooperation and decided to deny them access to any evidence gathered in the course of the federal investigation (and obviously, federal agents controlled the actual crime scene, are the only ones who even have the identity of the agents involved—though what they revealed about background in attempting to burnish the image of the shooter without identifying them has led to a probable identification of the shooter—and control essentially the bulk of the physical evidence.)

It doesn’t matter.

What doesn't? My desire? How can you say my desire does not matter?

It doesn't matter to the current conversation and it feels more like you're trying to create a distraction from the core of the issue being discussed than inquiring in good faith. If you truly desire such information so adamantly, you can easily do a search for it elsewhere without derailing the discussion here.

There was a very similar private security guard case to this a few years ago where the security guard was yelling at someone to leave but then physically blocked their car. When the person moved, the security guard shot them.[] He got roasted in court because he had given conflicting commands, and also because you can't put yourself in jeopardy just so you can shoot someone that's running away (police can but only fl…

As a Canadian - south of the border terrifies me for what's coming next. Republicans have devolved into a NK style 'dear leader' group that is terrified of crossing Trump. 1930's Germany is here

It's worse this time. Hitler would have drooled over the level of deep surveillance the state has access to in 2026

On the plus side: Hitler was younger when he came to power. Trump is not long for this world. That doesn't mean that things will get better afterwards, they might, they might now. But we're dangerously close to the edge now.

And there are still Americans defending this. Like they want to live in a dictatorship.

Keep in mind that many so-called "Americans" you see online are thousands of miles from the US, and are paid or otherwise encouraged to pretend otherwise.

That is probably true but there are also plenty of real, confirmed Americans that are doing the exact same thing.

DHS secretary is calling this "domestic terrorism"... unbelievable. Everyone in the administration needs to be put on trial just like the Nazis in Nuremburg. Also remember the rights reaction to Babbit (an insurrectionist) being shot at the J6 riot. She was a patriot hero for delaying election certification but people resisting ICE goons are domestic terrorists.

They all do.

To me the most horrible thing about this is the reaction of government officials. I'd imagine that in a civilized democratic country it would be something along the lines of "Let's make sure there's a fair investigation". That's not what I'm hearing from US.

They’re gloating, they love this. They love being able to spit in the face of the people and tell them that they’re absolutely fine with what’s going on and we should prepare for things to get worse.

The scariest thing to me is that you can see which folks are either all in on the regime or working overtime to push out propaganda. Because we have video of the incident from multiple angles and the context really is just that an ICE agent outright murdered someone.

Well that’s been the republican strategy for decades now. They only succeed by lying. The good news is that the country is still split pretty evenly 50/50. I don’t know German history very well but I don’t remember hearing that non-Nazis were loudly opposing the Nazis. Time will tell how this all shakes out but I’m mentally preparing myself for the worst case scenario.

Surprise then for you: there were fewer Nazi's in Germany in both an absolute and a relative sense than there are Republican voters / MAGA voters in the United States right now.
