Here is my column on how the recent victory for free speech out of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. It is a story of how this little first-grade girl schooled her principal and a federal judge on the essence of free speech...https://t.co/s9Oo6iorE6

FINAL - ASU 15, No.13 Oklahoma 3

ASU makes a statement, steamrolling an undefeated Sooners team with 14 runs in just two innings and 10 extra-base hits. Landon Hairston crushes two home runs in the win.

ASU returns tomorrow at the same time to try to sweep the two-game set.

Flat out: this is a terrible move by Seattle. Chances of upgrading are extremely low.

NEW: Since yesterday's deadly shooting in MN, I've talked to more than half a dozen federal sources involved immigration enforcement, including several in senior positions, who all tell me they have grown increasingly uneasy & frustrated w/ some of the claims & narratives DHS pushed in the aftermath of the shooting.

Specifically, I'm told there is extreme frustration with DHS officials going on TV and putting out statements claiming that Alex Pretti was intending to conduct a "massacre" of federal agents or wanted to carry out "maximum damage", even after numerous videos appeared to show those claims were inaccurate. While they say it was a terrible decision to show up with a gun and inject himself into a federal law enforcement operation, there is no indication Pretti was there to murder law enforcement, as videos appear to show he never drew his holstered firearm.

These sources say this messaging from DHS officials has been catastrophic from a PR and morale perspective, as it is eroding trust and credibility - comparing it to when Democrats falsely claimed the border was closed or that Haitians were being whipped at the border.

Some of these sources have described DHS’ response to the shooting as “a case study on how not to do crisis PR”, one said they are so “fed up” that they wish they could retire, another said “DHS is making the situation worse”, and another added that “DHS is wrong” and “we are losing this war, we are losing the base and the narrative."

These sources all believe this is going to end up being what they call a “bad shoot”, a “shitty” situation that happened in seconds where agents likely heard “gun!”, then the disarmed firearm may have had an accidental discharge that spooked the agents, and they shot. The agents do not have the luxury of multiple slow motion angles - and had to make split second decisions.

All of the sources support the mass deportation agenda, but have serious hesitations about the way it is being carried out and the messaging that comes with it. Many of the sources have expressed frustration that ICE is routinely blamed for the actions of Border Patrol, a completely separate agency.

I reached out to DHS for comment on concerns that their rhetoric and comments have damaged their credibility.

DHS provided the following statement to @FoxNews:

“We have seen a highly coordinated campaign of violence against our law enforcement. This individual committed a federal crime while armed as he obstructed an active law enforcement operation. As with any situation that is evolving, we work to give swift, accurate information to the American people as more information becomes available."

[Michael Shellenberger @shellenberger]

I have great respect for genuine nonviolent civil disobedience. That's not what either Good or Pretti were doing. They were both interfering in a police operation.

Pretti thought it was a good idea to take a gun. Yes, he has a Second Amendment right to do so. Yes, I support that right. I also support the right of young women to walk through dangerous neighborhoods wearing binkis and high heels but it would be deeply irresponsible for me to recommend it.

While Good and Pretti were responsible for their actions, as are the ICE officers and many others, it was the Left above anyone else who got Good and Pretti killed. They are victims of a culture that taught entitled Millennials to seek heroism through radical Leftism, including by entering into dangerous situations without any real sense of the risks to themselves and others.

That behavior is the opposite of the thoughtfulness and care taken by those who engaged in genuine nonviolent civil disobedience in the past, whereby people risk arrest, not death — or the deaths of others around them.
