Why do you get outraged by this? But ignore a woman getting knifed on the subway? Or killed by an illegal immigrant while jogging?

One is completely random, and the other can be mitigated. Yet you're outraged by the one you can mitigate.

Strange IMO.

Having a soul helps.

Morals and ethics taught by our parents.

Empathy for our fellow human beings.

Don't worry ghoul, you'll never understand.

You're a miserable, angry person who needs to see others suffering in order to feel good about yourself.

And this week Congress approved funding DHS and ICE.

But there is supposedly an initiative in Congress to impeach D/DHS Kristi Noem.

Can the "loyal opposition" do something for the American people?

This bears repeating:

There is no "fixing" ICE and DHS other than scattering them lock, tock, and barrel into the four winds on 20 Jan 2029.

PERIOD.

Another OIS that the federal government refuses to investigate (or even cooperate with or allow the state to investigate) ?

Because ... you are not the boss of them. And they are not accountable to you, The People.

Yup. They are not accountable to Congress either. Obviously.

Though I believe the Senate still needs to approve. Which of course they will without question.

I bet you the 7 democrats they selected to vote along with republicans where offered amazing severance packages.

I recently read this and it couldn't ring any truer.

"For a long time, I thought the Democrats were fighting valiantly but just overwhelmed by the oligarchy and the Republicans. Then I saw that the Democrats keep losing fights they should win and figured they must be just weak and ineffectual. Then I kept seeing them backing off without putting up any fight at all and decided they were gutless cowards. Finally, I noticed that enough of them keep voting with the Republicans to always ensure that the Republicans more or less win almost every fight, and that they start by bargaining from the Center position and moving Right-and eventually, after enough of that, it became impossible to ignore the only conclusion that actually fits the facts: The Democrats are not overmatched, they aren't weak, they aren't cowards... they're complicit."

Victim is Alex Pretti, ICU nurse. He was in the street, directing traffic with his phone in one hand. He saw ICE push a woman and went to her aid. ICE wrestled him to the ground and started hitting him. He had a gun, which was holstered. DHS would not answer whether the victim had brandished a gun.

Noem deflected when asked if the shooting happened after Alex Pretti was disarmed.

Because it was.

We've all seen the extended videos from at least 3 or 4 different angle now, even the people who won't admit it. Everyone knows this was murder, and that Renee Good's death was murder.

Everyone knows that anyone denying it is lying. There is no discussion here.

#30 | Posted by sentinel at 2026-01-26 08:30 AM

But Kristi said...A bad man was threatening officers with a BIG Gun.. Nobody else saw that...

He was "Violent" when they tried to disarm him... Somehow nobody got Injured.. but he's dead with ten bullets in his back.

So they beat him down, took his Gun and SHOT HIM 10 TIMES IN THE BACK. While he was helplessly being detained by several officers.

That's what I saw from, 4 DIFFERENT Angles.

Trump's got Nothin'

Lying -------, like,Usual.

You're seeing videos that you have no idea what happened prior to the clip beginning. Pictures are easily manipulated these days - videos also. If convicted, these people need to go to prison but playing jury over things you see on the internet is retarded.

Ahhhh yes, the old 'lack of context' argument.

What context could possibly justify a man being accosted by six agents then shot in the back/back of the head while on his hands and knees?

Don't dodge with some stupid trucker fantasy, seriously lay out what "context" could be shown in a future video clip that would change the outcome of this analysis.

I have no idea because I wasn't there. I've previously stated that those involved should got to prison should they be convicted of murder. But the idea that YOU can put someone on trial and find them guilty, because "i SaW pIcTuReS oN tHe iNtErNet" is retarded -------.

What hypothetical can you list that would change the outcome of this event? What would you like to see on a video that would make you think ICE acted appropriately?

Turds needs a signed confession from the murderer, admitting he murdered the innocent victim.

But don't call what he's doing now defending ------- Nazis.

That hurts his ------- Nazi feelings.

#43 | Posted by ClownShack at 2026-01-26 02:09 PM

"I commented on what he said"

No, you commented on your limited understanding of what he said.

He said he saw two more photos. That means he's seen other photos, at a minimum.

"raetard"

Don't look now, but you're the one who didn't understand the word "more".

Two (more)images confirmed that Pretti was murdered. That still translates to "i SaW iT oN tHe inNtErNeT"

#45 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2026-01-26 02:43 PM

45 and prior.

If you're so concerned about what people see on the internet and believe, you can count on this:

Whatever the craziest rants people post about Trump on the webz will ultimately be held "not ranted enough."

Pictures on the internet from primary sources, such as news pool photographers, are pretty reliable.

But then again, the right discards most information that doesn't come from its own sources, so why bother even presenting anything to them that comes from an outlet whose reputation is built specifically on not blowing smoke up consumers' @$$?

Those sources are available right and left. But the right-based news outlets that don't kowtow to Agent Orange are socialist RINOs -- those wild-eyed crazies at the WSJ and the Economist.

"But the idea that YOU can put someone on trial and find them guilty"

The idea here is fascism is happening and you're sort of supporting it, sort of denying it's happening, and sort of calling it "unfortunate" because it's not polling well.

But to your point, as though you even thought you were making one when you decided to pop off,
You are mistaken. The idea truly is that we can put someone on trial and find them guilty.
It only takes twelve men.
I'd wager there's twelve men right here on the DR who would find him guilty.
You think I'm wrong? No, you know I'm right.

You're dodging the question.

What would you need to see that you haven't seen yet that would change this from state-sanctioned execution to justifiable use of force?

You seem to be hiding behind an undefined new, yet to be seen information in the hopes that it vindicates your blind support of these s*&^bags.

There's a mix of images out there because people are trying to filter still frames through AI to enhance or clarify existing photos.

I've seen a grainier version where you clearly see the guy on his knees looking back over his right shoulder.
