Just watched this analysis of the shooting, including some video I hadn't seen before.

Male nurse had no gun in his hands, and didn't draw his gun.

The agent shot him after he saw that the gun had been taken away, as it probably didn't even register with him that the guy was now disarmed even though he was looking right at it.

Thanks to 77,302,580 ignorant voters on 5 Nov 2024, we are all now suffering through the Fourth Reich.

As promised for A. Friend (and others), here is another vignette from a happier time long ago.

The King of Late Night Comedy, Johnny Carson, hosted two fellow TV immortals only once during his multi-decade career: Ed Sullivan and Jackie Gleason.

The reasoning I won't speculate on, but both icons were superbly received by the NBC crew and the audience.


Tangent: Elvis Presley and Bruce Lee never appeared on the Tonight Show.

Meanwhile, Johnny Carson hosted Muhammad Ali several times and the "Greatest" not only kept up with Johnny Carson in witty banter, but in one show he flummoxed Johnny so badly that is only retort was to playfully hit Muhammad Ali.

And the two greatest martial artists of that long ago era, Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee, tragically never met.


This showed up on my Facebook feed this morning:

" What is happening in Minnesota is completely unacceptable - from all sides. As someone who understands firearms and their proper employment, the subject that was killed today created an unsafe situation by approaching ICE agents in an active scene with a reported 9mm pistol, 2 additionally loaded magazines and no ID

Although he had the right and was permitted to carry (open & concealed), he apparently approached ICE agents with comments being traded - we dont know what was said between the parties, but we do know that when the agents tried to subdue him, he resisted, a gun was produced and that's when shots were fired.

No matter how you may FEEL one way, or another, about the situation - when stopped by law enforcement of any kind, YOU COMPLY!!! You deal with the legality, or lack of, after the fact, but you DO NOT RESIST, especially when you are armed or tensions are high! This never ends well for any party involved! Period.

The current information available points to a man with NO PERSONAL ID on him, but he had a fully stocked weapon at a planned morning protest at a ICE Active Aprehension of a violent illegal Alien that should have NEVER been in our nation to begin with.

What is further concerning, after the shooting at the scene, over 200 violent protesters appeared within minutes, but NO SIGN OF LOCAL POLICE!!!

More importantly, I 100% support a full investigation into the shooting, and expect one to occur! Use of Deadly Force is the last thing one employs , and only when an agent reasonably believes it is necessary to protect the agent or others from an imminent threat of Death, or Serious bodily injury.

A note to all political leaders across this nation, from a Vet who was involved in an extreme situation with potential violence - It's your OBLIGATION to bring peace, follow the law and protect our people, not to side with incitement and violence to bring about a political agenda!

I only pray for our children and the nation they inherit. May God bless our great nation and helps us to be better and work together for a brighter future.

#41 Absolutely correct, Clown.

That's why, around these parts, we have The Donnerboy rule:

I need two (2) independent sources** from any Trump sycophant for any 'proof' they offer before it is even considered, much less replied to.
**Any source that contains "Trump's FBI said...", or "The DOJ announced..." or "The White House proclaimed..." - or any iteration thereof - will immediately be considered not an independent source. - Try again.

#449 100% correct, Clown.

The coward boaz would be the first one to willingly volunteer to pull the trigger.
