Right-wing death squads are running rampant across the US.

Morons, imbeciles, and cretins who voted for Dummkopf Trumpf on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024 did this to us.

you F/G LIARS are out of your F/G minds.

you depend on the other dopes here to just read the headline.

this was an ICE / FBI operation.

I understand that ALL OF YOU PUKES would love for agents to be shot and killed and down the helicopter

but keep hoping. sooner than later some of these men and women with more courage that you despicable

lying scum will EVER have....some of them will be dead and you'll be happy.

---THE REAL STORY THAT'S BEHIND THE HEADLINE,

As agents were attempting to arrest him, Schlegel fired at Border Patrol agents and an Air and Marine Operations helicopter flying above, according to officials.

Agents returned fire, officials said, striking the driver.

Schlegel had an active federal arrest warrant "for escape related to a previous federal alien smuggling conviction," according to Heith Janke, the special agent in charge of FBI's Phoenix division.

Schlegel had escaped custody from a Tucson halfway house in December when he signed out to attend alcohol evaluation and counseling and didn't return, according to a criminal complaint. He was serving a 36-month sentence after being convicted on charges of transportation of illegal aliens for profit and felon in possession of a firearm, the complaint said.

If he had a gun on him, why wouldn't he shoot?

With the new guidance from the White House and ICE, here are his options:

Option (1) Disarm
Result: ICE shoots him. The White House goes all over the media labeling him a terrorist. There is no investigation. There are no charges.

Option (2) Do not disarm but do not draw or fire the weapon
Result: ICE shoots him. The White House goes all over the media labeling him a terrorist. There is no investigation. There are no charges.

Option (3) Open Fire and hope to get away
Result: ICE shoots him. The White House goes all over the media labeling him a terrorist. There is no investigation. There are no charges.

Police: "Drop the weapon or we will shoot."
ICE: "Drop the weapon and we will still shoot."
