@bergjensen33 @mombaque What you’ve probably heard is 70-120AD. And this is really just because critical scholars couldn’t possibly believe Christ prophesized the destruction of the second temple and been right. That theory starts by rejecting the divinity of Christ.

[Mark McEathron @Mark_McEathron]

The narrative that "he was just filming and it pissed off the cops" is a false one.

The narrative that he was only trying to protect those two women, is a false one.

They, as a team, and others there, were actively interfering with a legitimate operation.

That's why the cops shoved them off of the street.

That doesn't mean he deserved to die.

When grabbed, he resisted arrest.

That doesn't mean he deserved to die.

He was armed, and chose to insert himself in an active operation, and resist arrest.

That doesn't mean he deserved to die.

The agent who yelled "GUN" and took the gun, had the gun go off before he could yell "CLEAR", and other agents followed their training (or lack thereof) and shot him.

All that the other officers knew was that there was a called out gun sighting, and a gun shot, and a guy resisting arrest.

You see an agent after the shooting stopped, run over to the body and ask "where's the f*%king gun!?!". He believed he was shooting an armed man, resisting arrest...because that's exactly what he was doing.

He didn't deserve to die, but his own actions, poor decisions, and actual criminal activity were every bit a factor in his death, as the bumbling agents.

Yes, I think the shooting was unnecessary. I think there were a million other ways that scenario could have been handled by the agents.

I don't believe he deserved to die. I don't believe the agents were threatened whatsoever.

Recklessness by all involved ended up with a man losing his life.

23% of all ICE activity has been happening in Texas. We don't see these things happening there.

2% of ICE operations happening in Minnesota and we have 3 shootings of American Citizens.

What's the difference?

Blue States have organized resistance campaigns designed to insert American citizens into ICE operations to interfere... intentionally... purposely...directly.

Interfering with law enforcement operations is not only illegal, but it's dumb. This is how people get killed.

Resisting arrest is not only illegal, but it's dumb. This is how people get killed.

In the 2nd Amendment community, there is a wise saying that goes "I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6" referring to the 12 members on a jury as opposed to 6 pall bearers carrying your casket.

It's used to make the wise argument that it is smart to carry in gun free zones. Because they are soft targets often sought out by active shooters and other violent criminals.

The same principle applies, but is not used, when people interact with law enforcement.

Would you rather be right, or be dead?

Make good decisions when dealing with law enforcement, and survive. Then take the fight up in court. Meanwhile, use every platform available to highlight the injustice done to you. Name departments, cities, towns, supervisors, and specific officers by name. Expose them.

But, interfering with an operation and resisting arrest, while carrying a gun, is a recipe that will end like we saw.

Was it legal for him to be armed there? Yes.

Should he carry everywhere? Yes.

Is it another level of stupid to interfere with operations and then resist arrest...while armed?

My goodness...yes.

When we carry, we take on additional responsibilities. He neglected his.

It's absolutely possible to stand with the policing up of illegal aliens, while at the same time calling law enforcement reckless.

It's absolutely possible to call law enforcement reckless and point out the recklessness of fellow citizens at the same time.

It's absolutely possible to recognize nuance, details, a quickly changing, hyper dynamic situation and the humanity of all involved.

He didn't have to die.

Liberty only exists when it's orderly.

None of this was orderly. Not by anyone involved.

When liberty is taken, lives are lost.

He didn't have to die.

@TheRealForno All I know is that the Patriots said they were open for business pre draft, but that the offers they received were laughable. And I’m pretty sure the Vikings were the only team looking that had 2 firsts in 2024 to use.

[Chris Coyer @Fat_Cat10]

@dalvincookin - with Rodgers the Vikings would be in the NFCCG right now.
- Bo Nix is Jalen Hurts. Whether you think that’s good or bad is up to you.
- Agreed. The bigger mistake was not retaining Daniel Jones as a backup.

[Minnesota Vikings @Vikings]

The tape doesn't lie.

Is it too late to right this wrong?

[McGillin's @McGillins]

Is Temple the grittiest school in the country? You have to be if you’re from Philly!

This box takes me back, man. Thanks Coach Keeler and @temple_fb for the gear!

[Chris Coyer @Fat_Cat10]

@owl_beback I’m honored to be in the collection.

[Chris Coyer @Fat_Cat10]

@Vikings Vikings off to invade the British Isles again after a small ~1000 year hiatus. Probably overdue. I guess that means they’ll be at SEA in week 3?

[Chris Coyer @Fat_Cat10]

@Basaraski As a Vikings fan that lives in the Philly area and has been to many games in the Linc, I can tell you that this is sadly not an unusual occurrence if you’re not there with a group.

[Chris Coyer @Fat_Cat10]

@3RonJohnson @AhmadHicksTV Darnold has a 2 way go on this. If the defender fights over the top he throws the flat. If the defender cuts he goes over the top. The defender can’t be right.

[Chris Coyer @Fat_Cat10]

@MatthewColler They’ll have to beat LA in LA, Detroit in Detroit, and Philly in Philly to get to SBLIX. The order in which it happens doesn’t matter.

[Chris Coyer @Fat_Cat10]

@3RonJohnson @TheSportsminn @kirbdizzle1 Looks to me like Darnold has 2 options here to the field. It’s a sort of double rub. Either Addison on the slant or Nailor on the pivot once Addison turns up. He came off it really early though. Looks like either one scores here.

[Chris Coyer @Fat_Cat10]

@WillRagatz A Super Bowl win would really exorcise the franchise demons. Need to beat both teams that beat us this year, in their house. Then avenge 2017 by beating Philly in Philly. Then a rematch of SB IV in the same city. Unlikely, but I look forward to watching.

[Chris Coyer @Fat_Cat10]

@thorku Either let him walk or play him on the tag next year. The NFL is full of 1 year wonders. If Kwesi is thinking about keeping him long term, make him prove it for more than one season. That being said, if we win it all this year then pay the man.

[Chris Coyer @Fat_Cat10]

@PurpleForTheWin Winning your division still would matter. But I refuse to pretend being the least garbage team in a garbage division should mean you get a home playoff game. Reseed but let winning your division be the first tiebreaker.

[Chris Coyer @Fat_Cat10]

@mikerenner_ @nykknickstalk @USCinIdaho What a nonsensical opinion. Learn your history. There are probably 25 or more national award winners since 2000 that were either day 3 picks or undrafted, including Biletnikoff winners. You trying to tell us none of them should have won?

This is why Trump won. Whether he will truly do anything about it is another question, but this is why he won. Excellent analysis here ...
