What’s stupid is not legally carrying a gun in Minneapolis, one could run into ICE or Border Patrol anywhere, and it’s not like you’re looking to have a gun battle with government agents. You’re simply exercising one’s 2nd amendment right. There was no demonstration taking place. A few people, including Pretti, were recording Border Patrol thugs. And that’s what they were, attacking women and Pretti for absolutely NO discernible reason.
No, what’s incredibly stupid is sending a 3000 man army of poorly trained, heavily armed goon squads with no understanding of the constitutional rights of fellow citizens, masked, pulling women on the street by their hair, dragging a disabled woman out of her car, etc., etc, and, heres the incredibly stupid part: without expecting pushback and anger from thousands of Minneapolis citizens!
Did Noem, Miller, Trump, Bovino, etc. not think of that at all!? Some may cheer, even cheer people being hurt, especially those “illegals”, but far more decent human beings will be appalled by the actions, they themselves witness, in person, online, or on the news, of heavily armed, masked goon squads acting like Nazi brown shirts, with a leader who cut his hair SS style, and dressed the part of an SS commander!!! We need this in the United States? This is what decent people will simply accept, goon squads treating people like animals?!
If you think so, you are not very bright, or should I say pretty damn stupid?
THAT is where the greatest stupidity lies. Not with a man carrying a concealed weapon in the town where he lives, and where he has a permit to carry.
If the goon squads are going to conduct state sanctioned public executions, you can expect 10’s of thousands of Minneapolis citizens to take to the streets, and if you did not know that going in, that’s where the stupidity lies. It lies with a fascist administration, not the decent citizens of Minneapolis who have what this administration considers the deepest of human flaws: compassion!! They care for their neighbors and how they are treated. The fascist State considers that an unacceptable flaw.
And also here: last night, although Homan said “cooperate and we drawdown”, Trump instead said we will not reduce our force there, “we will do whatever it takes to keep America safe”. Really?? Sending a 3000 man untrained, unhinged goon squads into Democratic cities is keeping America safe??
There’s the stupidity. And it’s a bald face lie: 3000 man goon squads killing citizens is not a decision made by smart people. But, to some of our fascist leaders in this country, it’s actually how they establish a safe country!
Remember what Elon Musk said? Empathy is the West’s greatest weakness! It causes you to care about human beings. It causes you to be alarmed when food aid is cut off, and thousands die around the world. This administration believes in that Muskian philosophy: rid yourself of human empathy and this mass deportation can be fun! Just let them do their job, and in any manner they please!
Just who are the patriots? The citizens who believe we are a good people, not a people who turn goon squads loose in our cities.
The patriots are people like Alex Pretti. And thousands of other Minnesotan’s. And if you do not recognize that, you’ve let the darkness into your heart.
