Snoofy,

"MLK is pretty much where modern liberals are now"

If you are living in that fantasy....I don't want to continue this discussion.

Your claim requires ignoring what MLK actually said and believed.

Dan,

"Equal rights for gays?"

I think Jesus might say we all sin.

He wouldn't approve of humans elevating themselves to judge each other.

"Whose sins are the worst?"

Snoofy,

"You think he'd be more on the Conservative side"

No...Jesus would say to pick up a cross and follow Him.

Dan,

That was satire.

It was meant humorously.

At least it amused me.

Corky,

"Jesus was a liberal."

In his time, that's how he likely would have been regarded.

But Jesus would be appalled by the way liberalism has evolved today.

MLK was far closer to Jesus than modern liberals are now.

Shrimp,

"THANK GOD ... Trump is bringing back funny farms."

Imagine being arrested and discovering you've been institutionalized and can't leave.

Your illness?

Liberalism.

Yav,

"I might not have all those details right."

No...you don't have it right.

Unless you're reading another book called The Dark Bible of Satan.

Yav,

Faith is trusting God.
Daring God to prove Himself is putting Him to a foolish test. The Bible explicitly says don't.

Matthew 4:7 (NLT)
Jesus said,
"The Scriptures also say, You must not test the LORD your God.'"

Bringing a gun (with an extra magazine, no less) into a situation he knew would be dangerous was foolish.

I've read that his ex said he was very active protesting during the George Floyd riots, which means he knew exactly what those situations can turn into. This wasn't his first exposure to crowds, chaos and the police.

The woman he was "helping" didn't end up on the ground for no reason. This wasn't a Good Samaritan moment. Neither of them had any business being there in the first place.

I fully support peaceful protest. But you know as well as I do that much of this stopped being peaceful a long time ago.

I'm sorry he's dead. I'm not saying he deserved it, and I'm not blaming him for being killed.
But if you play with matches, sometimes you get burned.

There is one thing that no one talks about that Pretti did that struck me as odd.

I think it demonstrated how he thought.

It's when he started trying to direct traffic. Not his responsibility and in fact could have created a problem.

Then he put himself in the mix helping a woman when clearly he was out of place and creating a problem which cost him his life.

So what's my point?

Both the traffic and getting mixed up with the agents were inappropriate behavior.

Just an observation. I wonder if he stuck his nose into things at work.

As usual.

Nothing but problem-pointer-outers.

Donner,

What about protestors who will surely still be out there interfering with getting undocumented criminals.

Any repercussions for hindering law enforcement?

Donner,

"Immediately stop breaking the law"

When should they resume their mission?

Will local police start going after the undocumented criminals or do you believe there aren't any?

Dan,

"Because law enforcement wasn't following its own rules. Why do you keep pretending they were???"

Ok...so now...let's say you're in charge.

What do you suggest be done about the ICE mission?

Handling the shootings is a whole other problem.

Just stay on the mission ICE is handling.

What would you want to happen next?

Don't just sit there being a problem-pointer-outer.

What is your idea of what to do about ICE assigned mission whatever you think it is or should be?

Dan,

You put the blame on law enforcement instead of the people who are obstructing them.

That's bright!

If law enforcement was doing things more like a police state, I could see it.

But they are enforcing laws that exist for a reason.

Dan,

"It's a disaster waiting to happen, again and again and again."

On that we agree.

Dan,

No...not blaming.

I said "contributed" to their death.

Which is what they both did.

Dan,

He stood in front of her car on purpose to block her.

She should have stayed on the brake.

juvenile

Corky,

grow up...insults and name calling is so juvenal.

Jpw,

Ok...mister problem-pointer-outer.

What your idea of a solution?

Law enforcement...sometimes they make mistakes so let's get rid of law enforcement.

I sure don't know.

Dan,

"Pretti and Good"

They contributed to the their own deaths.

Sorry but it's true.

Not that they deserved it, but they were playing with matches. They positioned themselves to block federal agents doing their job.

I'm all for peaceful protest, but this wasn't that.

If they were rounding up people for no good reason, it would be different.

This is all about deportation which we aren't talking about.

They want to see an end to the deportation.

It's a sad problem for those people who came here. I do feel for them.

Dan,

"So basically, eff the First Amendment, amirite?"

??

Corky,

I understand for decades it's been overlooked and even joked about.

Such as such has a maid who....you know the rest of the line.

But now it has gotten too much. Democrats saw to that.

I mean... Biden was flying them in.

Now...that's the joke....Biden was a joke.

isn't is the only thing...i meant.

Corky,

Nope...you have write...I'm not following a link.

My response to you is crime is the only thing.

It's a matter of following the law. If they are not authorized in some form to be here, they should not be here.
