My comment on the latest ICE murder in Minnesota:
I grew up in Missouri around a LOT of these Second Amendment “Don’t Tread on Me” guys. Oh man, they would go on and on and ON about the Constitution, their right to bear arms, states’ rights, the government tracking you on databases (remember the anti-vaxxers’ whole nonsense about not being on government databases), you name it. It was their thing, man. They wouldn’t shut up about it. They were all ammosexuals and had tons of guns and talked about their guns all the time. It was something that they all seemed SO passionate and SO serious about. They were all members of the NRA and would go on and on about defending themselves against tyranny. They would fight to the DEATH for the things that our Founding Fathers stood for, all the things that made America so great. Every other word out of their mouth was “FREEDOM!” “FREEDOM!” “FREEDOM!”
It was all total bullshit. A total lie.
Turns out, all of these guys were just losers in life, guys who wanted to cosplay at being good guys in a Western movie or a crime drama or maybe saving the world against alien invaders. They were all a bunch of pussies who played pretend games to imagine themselves being something other than the failures and the pussies that they really were. They had no real belief in the Constitution, freedom, or any of it. They were, and are, just impotent submissives who couldn’t get laid if their lives depended on it.
Tyranny is here. Fascism is here. This whole thing in Minnesota is a classic bullshit move by the Trump administration. If there is one thing that Trump is good at, it’s distraction and controlling the media. Epstein files? Out of the headlines. The failing economy? Inflation? Barely gets mentioned. People’s health care costs have doubled or tripled? Doesn’t get a second on the news. Trump’s failing mental and physical health? The guy is a walking corpse, and nobody talks about it. Instead, Trump (and Stephen Miller, the little loser Nazi who is really running the country) knows that all they have to do is create a problem, get people really angry, kill some innocent people on the street, lie about it, get Fox News to lie for them some more, and voila! The news narrative has been controlled in their favor once more.
Do you think this is really about immigration, or catching criminals? It has been revealed this morning by Senator Chris Murphy that Pam Bondi sent a letter to Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota telling him that they will pull ICE out of Minnesota if Walz will turn over the state voting rolls to Trump, presumably so he can manipulate the midterm elections. So let’s stop fooling ourselves. It has nothing to do with catching criminals, or illegal immigrants. It’s all a fucking lie. Everything that Trump and his administration does is a lie.
A recently leaked ICE memo dictates that ICE agents can now (illegally) enter a home without a warrant to arrest people. Say what? The freaking Constitution’s Fourth Amendment guarantees against illegal search and seizure. It prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and sets requirements for issuing warrants: Warrants must be issued by a judge or magistrate, justified by probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and must particularly describe the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized (the last part copied from Wikipedia). Remember all these gun freaks and Rambo wannabes going on and on and on about the Constitution and their rights? Now, as long as the jackbooted ICE agents are doing it, they are cheering it on.
This is tyranny. This is fascism. It’s here. It’s not imagined.
The people filming ICE agents are protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. The people protesting ICE peacefully are also protected by the First Amendment. In Minnesota, ICE agents are responding by entering the protestors license plates, faces, and other information into a “domestic terrorist database,” going so far as to track these people down in their homes, call them by their first name when they stop their cars, and telling people that “their names are on a database for future arrests.” Excuse me? Hey Freedom Gun Second Amendment guys, you hear this? ICE is illegally silencing people of their First Amendment rights and placing them on government databases? You have anything to say about this?
This is tyranny. This is fascism. This is “Big Brother,” just as we were warned.
If you believe that ICE shooting Renee Good in her SUV as she attempted to get away two weeks ago was justified, you’re wrong. It was not only against ICE’s legal mission, it was against every single police rule of using deadly force. It was a murder. Doesn’t matter what you THINK you saw or what you WANT to frame it as, the rules of using deadly force are to NEVER shoot at somebody for simply trying to get away. She had committed no crime. And if you say “she tried to run him over,” no, you’re wrong. She didn’t. She turned her wheels to get away, not to run into the agent, but to get away. The agent literally had to jump forward to put himself in harm’s way (against the rules and against all training) in order for him to empty three bullets into her face—two of those bullets through the side window after she posed no more harm to him. He then called her a “fucking bitch” as she died. The ICE agents refused to allow medical help while she bled out in her car. She was still alive when she got to the hospital, much later. Can you imagine?
Then Trump’s government stepped in, with lie after lie after lie. They claimed that Renee Good was a terrorist, they said that she tried to run over the officer (she didn’t), and if that wasn’t bad enough, they tried to press charges against her wife for any reason they could find. Can you imagine the inhumanity it takes to do this? They couldn’t find any prosecutors who would file charges. SIX prosecutors resigned rather than file false charges against this poor dead woman’s wife.
This, my friends, is tyranny. This is fascism. It’s here. It’s not imagined.
Then, as we all saw yesterday, Alex Pretti was brutally gunned down by ICE agents on the street in Minneapolis. This poor young ICU nurse was filming ICE agents when they pushed a woman over. He ran over to help, still holding his phone. The ICE agents pushed him as he tried to help. Within seconds, without any due process, without any probable cause, they had seven agents on him, pinning him to his knees, they took his legally registered firearm away from him, they pepper sprayed him, and THEY SHOT HIM IN THE BACK, DEAD. There were a hundred different ways they could have handled this. First of all, pepper spraying and taking away his firearm were MORE than enough. Having seven agents against one young man in his thirties holding a cell phone was also WAY more than enough. They had to kill this man? Shoot him in the back, like a dog? Then once again, the government lied to the American people, calling the nurse with no police record a “terrorist” and claiming that he pulled his gun on the officers when every single video of the incident shows that not only did he NOT pull his gun on the officers, but that after the officers took his gun away, they shot him in the BACK. Where are all those wannabe Rambo guys now? Where are all those proud libertarians, all those guys who went on and on and on about the government bursting down our doors, trying to take away our guns?
This is tyranny. This is fascism. This is BULLSHIT.
I’ve always hated listening to these Second Amendment guys whine and pretend to be tough guys and talk about how they were going to give up their life to protect our “freedoms.” And now that tyranny has arrived, in our own cities and our own towns, innocent people are being gunned down on the street by OUR OWN GOVERNMENT, they are silent. Just a bunch of submissive pussies. I always knew in my heart that these nitwits were completely, 100 percent full of shit.
Sometimes people ask me, “Aren’t you afraid?” No. I’m not afraid of these guys. They are pussies. They are weak. They are pretend cosplaying something that they will never be. I’ll gladly die on my feet rather than live on my knees with Trump’s balls in their mouth like they do. Tyranny is here, and all these rednecks and “patriots” and gun fetishists are nice and quiet. Because this is the moment they’ve been waiting for their whole lives. They can’t wait to be Daddy’s favorite simp in the new Dictatorship for White People.
If Alex Pretti’s murder on the street yesterday doesn’t change you inside, I’m not sure what will. This shit has to stop. And we outnumber these morons, ten to one. They are afraid of us in numbers. The time to be silent is over. Tyranny has arrived in the United States of America.
