So do you mean to tell me that Trump supporters are now saying we should not carry a gun? What happened to our second amendment rights? The rights that the NRA and all other gun rights groups have shoved down our throats for decades?
As Adam states so well, we all have a right to carry a gun. Question is how and when to use it. The majority of us with guns would never dream of drawing it, unless our life was in danger, so what are they talking about?
I also find it absolutely incredible of the spin that Benino and Trump are trying to put on it. Self defense? From a guy who had just been peppered sprayed twice, shoved on the ground by several brutes, beaten on the head and then shot to death? It was Murder by the ICE Thugs. Plain and simple.
And yes, I also would vote for Adam for president in a heartbeat. And I am a lifelong Democrat.
I think once they’ve completely decimated the First Amendment, they’ll go to work on the Second. My understanding is that confiscating citizens’ guns was one of Hitler’s first priorities. Then we can all say Ha Ha, it wasn’t President Obama, or President Biden, or VP Kamala Harris who came for your guns, after all; it was Donny, your criminal psychopath president.
That is exactly how Fidel Castro took total control over Cubans. He was "smart" in that he asked everyone to donate their guns so the militia could have weapons to protect all citizens. And like obedient sheep, they all did. Then they were horrified when they could no longer speak freely and escaped to the USA - where they were welcomed and protected. Now the majority of those sheep are in Florida, and voted for Trump. I'm not badmouthing Cubans - I am one, but a Democrat living in the sane PNW, thank you very much! :)
Third shooting. Second death. Minneapolis is becoming a killing field for federal agents operating with impunity.
Watch the video: A swarm of masked agents mob someone, push him to the ground, surround him, then shoot him multiple times. The shots continue as he lies motionless. Then ICE tries to order local police from the scene. The Minneapolis police chief refuses and preserves the crime scene.
This is exactly how Argentina’s Dirty War operated. Paramilitary forces. Masked agents. Extrajudicial killings. Attempts to control the investigation. Rising body count. The regime blaming victims and promising to escalate.
A White House official said the killing is “evidence that people need to allow lawful immigration enforcement to proceed unobstructed.” A senior administration official says the “chaos” strengthens the case for Trump sending in troops to “restore order.”
Read that again. They murder someone on camera, and their response is: this proves we need more force.
The parallels to Argentina’s dirty war are no longer theoretical. Secret detention centers where people die. Forced disappearances (detainees transferred, families can’t locate them). Paramilitary forces operating outside judicial oversight. Extrajudicial killings in the streets. Witnesses being deported or intimidated. The regime claiming chaos justifies more violence.
Argentina’s dictatorship disappeared 30,000 people over seven years. They started exactly like this: targeted killings of visible resisters to establish that certain people have no rights the state is bound to respect. The body count rises. The terror normalizes. The population learns to look away.
Minneapolis isn’t the aberration. It’s the model. ICE deployed to other Democratic cities will operate the same way. The killing will spread. The regime already told you: the chaos strengthens the case for troops.
This is state terror becoming operational in American cities. Not might become. Is. Right now. On camera.
and the minneapolis police are going to arrest the murderer?????
wtf is the problem - call out the national guard and have them and the police defend the rights of americans - these ICEstapo nazi murderers should be arrested and imprisoned….. are all the national guard and police on the side of ICEstapo? are the national guard and police scared of ICEstapo. the state and police should also be sued for not protecting their citizens (WHO PAY FOR THAT PROTECTION!!!!).
yes that may create a critical situation, but use the MN republicans as shields and there won't be an issue...
I agree. And for those saying but the federal officers have jurisdiction over the local police, who cares? Someone needs to take action. ICE is not obeying the law. Perhaps those who defend the law need to take actions they would not normally take.
thank you for your great comment…the murdered citizens must not be forgotten….i’ve just written to walz and frey telling them it’s their duty to uphold the law…
What have we become? How can this nightmare continue? There are no words to express how we should feel as our country is besieged by thugs posing as ‘law enforcement!’ Shame on the administration for forcing this on our country! When taking a life is excused as routine procedure?
Please consider running for president. I’m a lifelong democrat and I’m sure I would disagree with you on some things, but I think we desperately need someone like you. It might be the first time in my 50 years of voting that I would vote for a republican. Of course, who wants to inherit this unbelievable mess???
and i'm with you norma and anne. the video i saw this morning with the ice gestapo spraying poison into a man's eyes as he was face down on the street and unable to resist was bad enough, but here we have the body count rising. this man won't be the last to die, i'm sure.
Agreed!! I am a registered Independent, but ... I've always voted for Democrats. I would 100% vote for Adam if he ran for President! I've been saying this since watching the Jan 6 trials. He is the type of person needed. The crypt keepers need to be forcibly retired from the House/Senate. Their views are from when they were relevant (30, 40, 50 yrs ago).
Me too- I vote for the best person and have voted for Repubs too. Not since 2016 though. With the exception of my Town Supervisor who was great actually. Except- he sold out recently by retiring early so the maga repub who is County supervisor could install his lackey until the term is over and elections are held giving him an edge as an incumbent.
I will say I think it's important to have a president who has actually served meaningfully & at length in the military - someone who understands what is at stake and is not cavalier about sending other people's children into combat. Based on the demeanor of veterans I have known, military service itself teaches people to think calmly and rationally in dangerous, high-pressure situations. This ability comes at an emotional cost, but it is a critical skill.
Tim Snyder called out the real motive of the regime for putting ICE in Minneapolis - they can't have a well run, liberal government out there for other Americans to see. They have to go shit on the place so they can say, "Look how shitty the place is."
This is the Russian dictatorship model — can’t have their domestic audience looking at world democracies & envying/ asking for more — therefore must bring other states down to their level.
MPD Chief O'Hara said that the 37 year old man had a legal permit to carry. He had no criminal history. The chief said that this man was pummeled by Ice officers.
and the minneapolis police are going to arrest the murderer?????
wtf is the problem - call out the national guard and have them and the police defend the rights of americans - these ICEstapo nazi murderers should be arrested and imprisoned….. are all the national guard and police on the side of ICEstapo? are the national guard and police scared of ICEstapo. the state and police should also be sued for not protecting their citizens (WHO PAY FOR THAT PROTECTION!!!!).
state based criminal convictions cannot be pardoned by any corrupt fascist putin-style-dictator...
The MN National Guard has been activated and will be in the city. Our police forces are exhausted. Mayor Frey said that they've requested an immediate injunction for the removal of ICE from MN.
thanks for the update. the injunction should have been lodged after the murder of renee nicole good…..ICEstapo escalate things tooooo quickly to ‘wait n see if it calms down’ thought processes…
and hopefully the national guard and police will face the ICEstapo so protecting the citizens, and not the other way round where they look like they are protecting fully armed ICEstapo from unarmed civilians.
This is also my question. Perhaps, wearing masks, they simply left the scene. Maybe no one knows who they are. I heard Governor Walz say earlier that they left the body in the street.
Never did I ever think I'd get a text from my son in Minneapolis proactively letting me know he's safe. This has to stop - in Minneapolis, and everywhere in the country. How many people have to die??
Here is a link to the press conference held earlier today, post-shooting, by the Mayor and the Minneapolis Police Chief. Everyone arrives at the podium around 11:14. The Police Chief, Brian O'Hara, starts speaking at 11:22. He speaks again at 21:58. Around 25:03, the Chief talks about the 37-year old victim, and at 25:16 the Chief explains they believe this man is a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry.

Adam - Hello from Occupied MN. This guy was just an OBSERVER. In MN he had to get a permit for a gun. There are so many videos, including an officer clapping after the man was killed. The woman filming the execution was wrangled and taken to Whipple. MN is under siege. Keep fighting for our democracy, and us Adam.
Okay - I already typed a response to you, @Austen Musil - but I don’t see it. Check out the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the local TV stations or Governor Walz or Mayor Frey’s offices. Also if you search any kind of reels - so many are posting.
and the minneapolis police are going to arrest the murderer?????

the fascists will not stop - they don't care about public opinion - so create a barrier against the fascists with democratic protection....use republican politicians in MN as a protective shield....
You never heard much at all about Minnesota in winter unless it was ice fishing. DJT and Noem need to be held accountable. This needs to stop as it is out of hand.
Adam, thank you for bringing your perspective as a Flamekeeper to this crisis. Your breakdown of the rules for gun discharge is the exact 'informational fuel' the Human Firewall needs right now. We won't be distracted by the 'he was armed' narrative when the video shows a man already subdued. When the enforcers break the rules, they break the law. We are amplifying this everywhere. 🛡️🔥
The videos are true. MN has a permit to carry law. Not required to conceal. My gun is concealed by choice. I think showing your weapon is very triggering for people. Plus. I don’t want my gun being grabbed and used against me.
ICE is violent, clearly don’t know how to carry or use weapons. What trained ICE would shoot while so many were huddled over someone? These ICE Agents are operating in chaos. Extremely violent and shouting multiple directions at the same time. They are causing the chaos.
They are instructed to cause the chaos. Trump and company are furious and frustrated that their tactics are not causing riots. Exactly why all the resistance must remain nonviolent.
The gentleman had a legal permit to carry according to MS Now. This gentleman was being beat by ice. Thank you for the video Adam. My condolences 💐 to this gentleman family.
They are NOT the judge or jury, just the executioner.
They are also NOT police officers. They are unvetted, untrained, unaccountable hired hit squads. They are Trump’s Gestapo.
So do you mean to tell me that Trump supporters are now saying we should not carry a gun? What happened to our second amendment rights? The rights that the NRA and all other gun rights groups have shoved down our throats for decades?

I am a lifelong Dem, also feminist vegan animal rights advocate. I would campaign for AK in a HEARTBEAT
You sound like a younger version of me, Norma! I will campaign for Adam if he runs as an Independent or Democrat.
and i'm with you norma and anne. the video i saw this morning with the ice gestapo spraying poison into a man's eyes as he was face down on the street and unable to resist was bad enough, but here we have the body count rising. this man won't be the last to die, i'm sure.

Adam is no longer a Republican…thank goodness!
If he ran as an independent he would probably get even more support.
Money might be hard to raise though
Bernie ran and he's an independent.
Good point! I didn't think of that. There have been a few others too- Angus King of Maine
Agreed!! I am a registered Independent, but ... I've always voted for Democrats. I would 100% vote for Adam if he ran for President! I've been saying this since watching the Jan 6 trials.

The guy was getting bashed in the head just before the shots were fired. And, he had a pile of agents on top of him.
ICE Lies. End of story. There can be no presumption of regularity with this regime.

Check out the Minneapolis Star Tribune. There are also lots of local Twin Cities stations, the Governor and Mayor Frey are putting out stuff too.
Stay safe up there. This from down below you in Missouri.
Also, do you suggest a place to find these videos?
Okay - I already typed a response to you, @Austen Musil - but I don’t see it. Check out the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the local TV stations or Governor Walz or Mayor Frey’s offices. Also if you search any kind of reels - so many are posting.
On top of him being disarmed, there were about 6 or 7 ICE thugs around him—one guy pinned down on the ground. It was another ICE execution!

Sickening, heartrending, infuriating, and ILLEGAL. I dread what could happen in my home state of Maine now.
The gentleman had a legal permit to carry according to MS Now. This gentleman was being beat by ice. Thank you for the video Adam. My condolences 💐 to this gentleman family.
