Being that youre a retired cop, im shocked you would support the shithead party that believes in repeatedly releasing violent criminals no matter their crime and then giving them the most lenient sentences imaginable for heinous crimes. Im all for 2nd chances, but not 32nd chances.
Lmfao nice one. Yes, that is where the word liberal comes from, but you should also know that liberalism used to involve the protection of individual rights, the belief in personal responsibility, and limited government. The party whose voters call themselves liberals are now the complete opposite of that. I bet you despise individual liberty, or believe you like it but then vote for the party that takes away our rights anyways.
Im libertarian, not a republican, but the Republicans are much more preferable than the leftist traitor scumbags that ruin everything they touch. I have typically voted libertarian but lately have been voting republican to counter the shitheads trying to destroy our country. I do not at all like many of Trumps actions in his 2nd term, especially the war in Iran, his support for Israel, and mishandling of the epstein files, but he still beats a vile scumbag like Kamala who only got into politics by sleeping with Jerry Brown. (Jerry Brown even talks about this in his book if you dont believe me)
@jerry_kempe@mjfree Lmfao, who tf is talking about giving ICE the ability to silence journalists? Trump has made many mistakes and done many things i disagree with, but my goodness do you leftists prove that TDS is a real disease every single day.
@BrentCoxis@MikeBryant43576@mjfree Beat me to it. These commie idiots clearly only saw the 3 second clip CNN released and not the complete footage or the angles that show what really happened.
What Trump did to Iran, especially the bombing of the girls school, was completely unacceptable and I do not in any way support it.
The video very clearly shows that Renee started driving when an ICE agent was in front of her vehicle on the left side of her hood. He was able to move out of the way after shooting her, and as I have said, I do not think shooting her was the right call. Would videos or screen grabs showing where the agent was change your mind, or will nothing change your mind?
Also, for someone who talks so much about physics, you dont seem to understand that driving into someone very slowly does not automatically throw them under the vehicle. Maybe the German education system isnt quite what its cracked up to be.
@jerry_kempe@mjfree No, because she drove into an ICE agent, jackass. Would you like to see the videos or screen grabs that prove that? Would that change your mind? Probably not, because you leftists simply believe everything youre told by the lying media sources you listen to.
In the case of Ruby Ridge, the feds shot first. That is documented fact. In the case of Waco, there is some debate about who shot first, but it was likely the feds shooting the guard dogs that triggered the firefight. I can share sources if you dont believe me, though ill admit Waco isnt as straightforward.
In the case of Renee Good, if a federal officer or agent asks you to stop and get out of the vehicle, whether or not theyre right, you need to conply instead of driving away and hitting them, even if you do so slowly while attempting to turn away from the agents/officers. That doesnt make it the right call to shoot her, and both ICE and CBP have a policy against shooting drivers who have weaponized their vehicles (except in rare cases), so shooting her did violate department policy. But to claim that it was an "execution" when she was clearly actively running into an ICE agent is just ridiculous.
In the Alex Pretti case, what the CBP officer did was completely wrong and the Trump administration's reaction to it was also wrong and unacceptable. All CBP officers and ICE agents who shot him should face charges and be prosecuted. However, law enforcement has unfortunately shot legally armed people before due to seeing a gun and freaking out when they shouldn't have. This is not unique to the trump admin, the only thing thats unique is his complete unwillingness to prosecute or even fully investigate those responsible.
Three letter agencies do this kind of shit way too often, and both Ds and Rs try to pretend its always the fault of the party in power, when its really a problem with federal overreach as a whole imo.
Im not trying to claim what the feds did here was correct or that I "support" it, but it drives me nuts to see leftists like you pretending that this is a Trump problem and not a federal government problem.
.40 S&W is a great balance, imo. Most semi auto 40s can carry 14+1, but have significantly more stopping power than 9mm. 9mm is more easily controllable, but if you spend alot of time in the woods and might need to defend yourself against a large animal or a person, 40 is fantastic.
@GavinNewsom Lmfao, youre just mad that youre only able to steal less money because youre not president yet. The Trumps are undoubtedly corrupt, but so are you. You are a disgrace to this country. Please go self deport to China.
Then explain why youre correct, because thus far, you havent come up with a retort to what I said in my 3rd reply to you. Also, im not MAGA, I think Trump is wrong on many issues (especially Iran and our support for Israel), but I think he is definitely better than that evil traitor Kamala would have been.
@swat671@mjfree Lmfao you literally cant even explain why you think youre right, because youre wrong but refuse to admit it. Its okay though, theres no shame in being an ignorant retard like yourself! Plenty of those in this country.
That is wholly untrue. Renee good did move her car slightly to avoid hitting the officer dead on, but did still very clearly hit him, as seen from certain camera angles. Shooting her was dumb and violated ICE policy (since shooting the driver of a moving vehicle leads to it becoming uncontrolled), but was legally justified since whether she intended to or not, she was using her car as a weapon. The Alex Pretti case was totally unjustified, and started by a 20 year CBP veteran who saw the gun and freaked out. Many police officers have made this mistake, that doesnt make it okay and the CBP officer should be prosecuted, but it is a mistake made by many other officers before. Not some "execution" as you put it. Also, Id reccomend you looking more into the Waco and Ruby Ridge cases because while the cause of the shooting at Waco is disputed (but was likely caused by the ATF shooting the dogs), Ruby Ridge was started by overzealous federal agents who shot first.
@ReileVolker@mjfree Thats great, you once again are failing to comprehend my point. Shooting her was dumb, but legally justified. As I literally said in my original comment. Also, id take an algae infested Lincoln memorial over a Moroccan infested capital city any day of the week.
