Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

"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.

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.

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.

#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.

Maybe if ICE were to coordinate with local law enforcement we wouldn't be having this kind of chaos in the streets of America.

But that would be allowing too much visibility and transparency and too much accountability and too much local government oversight.

They would have to follow the law and it would be like they were professionals or something.

We cannot have that!

Yeah, the only coordination they want is from Police and State Troopers after they attack civilians.

Brown Spotting is hard and dangerous werk!

If this were really about criminal activity, ICE would be supporting the local authorities with WARRANTS they actually hold, not going out and creating havoc.

Which havoc is what they want; an excuse for Putin's Poodle to claim there's Insurrections goin' on.

NO WAY

A flashbang, as return fire against explose fireworks attack, MAY have been near them, or as likely one of the fireworks being used to assault American police ended up rolling under the car.

"tear gas began to leak into the car" JFC this even from the article. Not "threw in my car"

I am sure he meant at my car. But yes it's possible he threw it into his car.

They have shot Americans point blank in the face. Or in the stomach with pepper balls.

It not much of a stretch to believe they would throw it into a car.

I am pretty sure (being as I have common sense) that is not the point being argued. But thanks for trying to deflect from what is important about this story.

A baby was flash banged and gassed by a gang of lawless masked ICEholes and needed CPR.

When Obama was president - and every president before him - agents showed up with deportation paperwork and told them to be gone. They didn't cause trouble. ICE did it respectfully, and without acting like the SS, answerable to no one.

And Obama's administration deported far more people than Trump & Co ever have, including last year.

The public is sick of this s*&!. And his approval numbers are reflecting that. He's only in the 30-percentiles in every category, including immigration, with every demo but self-identified Republicans.

Like the one we have now and the one Joe Biden warned you about.

Joe Biden has warned about threats to democracy from various sources, including a potential oligarchy of the ultra-wealthy, the erosion of rights by foreign tyrants like Putin, and the need to prevent concentration of power, often contrasting American ideals with tyrannical governments and calling for vigilance against unchecked power and disinformation, as seen in his farewell address and remarks on global democracy.

Important to note, the basis of your delusion seems to be a debunked right wing talking points:

What were the circumstances surrounding Biden's alleged unauthorized use of force?

Executive summary

Claims that President Biden authorized the U.S. military to use lethal force against Americans or to override limits on domestic military action stem largely from a misunderstood September 2024 revision to DoD guidance and separate disputes over strikes abroad; independent fact-checkers and the Pentagon say the change did not authorize troops to kill U.S. citizens on U.S. soil [1] [2] [3]. Lawmakers and civil liberties groups, however, have separately warned that some overseas strikes " such as actions against Houthi targets " may lack clear congressional authorization under the War Powers Act and have labeled them "unauthorized" absent further congressional approval [4].
