Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, January 16, 2026

The father of three children who were hospitalized in Minneapolis on Wednesday night accused federal agents of launching flash-bang munitions and tear gas into their family van after they were caught up in protests against the Trump administration's deadly immigration crackdown. "Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car," Shawn Jackson told KMSP. "My 6-month-old can't even breathe." The explosions were strong enough to trigger the car's airbags. Shawn Jackson told KMSP while holding up his child's car seat: "This was flipped over. My car filled with tear gas; I'm trying to pull my kids from the car."Destiny Jackson said she performed CPR on the infant after the baby stopped breathing and lost consciousness.Three of the children"the 6-month-old infant and two others, ages 7 and 11 years"were taken by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment.

This is how I've imagined the first ICE agent getting killed: after attacking someone's kids.

In other words, because a parent obeyed natural law and defended his children.

MadBomber can't understand why people protest ICE flash-banging a baby.

No Republican can understand why people protest ICE flash-banging a baby.

Republicans say "Well, it's their fault for bringing their kids into a battle". en.wikipedia.org

Yeah, but what was the infant doing before it forced ICE to grenade him?

When the agents told the infant to freeze and stop resisting, the paid agitator continued flailing their arms and legs while speaking loudly, so they were forced to act to protect themselves.

#7 There's a precedent for that, JPW

"We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story."

How long before the piece was set to air?

#8 100% correct, Alexandrite.

What happens when myths turn out to be true? I'm talking about the "myth" of the German army's atrocities in little Belgium in 1914, the raped nuns and the babies spitted on Prussian bayonets. "Hun barbarism" was the powerful propaganda tool to send the British Tommies and the French poilus " literally, "the hairy ones" " off to the killing fields of the Somme, Ypres, Passchendaele and Verdun. But now, thanks to the analytical, brilliant, horrifying work of Alan Kramer, a history professor at my own alma mater of Trinity College, Dublin, it all turns out to be " well, let's speak frankly " true.

He's not the first to catalogue Germany's war crimes in the 1914-18 conflict " Germany's own academics got their hands on the military and political archives proving that the massacre of civilians in Belgium really happened at the start of the war " but Kramer has gone a stage further; he has traced an undeniable pattern of atrocities not only in Belgium but in First World War Italy and Russia too. The Nazis, it seems, were marching in the footsteps of earlier German war criminals.

Yep.

History may not repeat itself, but sometimes it rhymes in time.
