You're not the only one. Where I live in New York.. it has/ had a sizeable Indian population. Lot of them voted for Trump.. Trump's gonna make us all rich.. and we're not voting for that race traitor Kamla..

Well now it's hard to see Indians here.. most are afraid to even come out to buy groceries.. many have left the US..

My neighbor is Punjabi and his own son and daughter voted Trump.. and still think he'll MAGA.

I wish I were exaggerating but the stupidity here is off the scale. And they will learn nothing from this.. still dems are bad.

I have seen tons of Indians who are Trump supporters. It’s beggars belief. I have unfriended a lot of them. I don’t want to associate myself with any of them. Bunch of cunts.

Why don’t we add the guy who called me a “stupid ****” for reminding him he told us all that Trump was just a bog-standard politician and that we were all overreacting? @Damocles. And bring back @JewelZee as well, he who thinks this is all so “LMFAO” funny.

Cut from different cloths, all big talkers once — all cowards now. They can’t/wont decry this. All cemented to their views. It’s one of the reasons I feel so hopeless.

PRESS RELEASE: MN Gun Owners Caucus responds to the shooting death of Alex PrettiWe are deeply concerned by this morning’s reports that a federal law enforcement operation in Minneapolis resulted in the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti by federal agents. According to local officials, the man was legally armed, a firearm was recovered at the scene, and he is believed to have been a lawful gun owner and permit to carry holder.Many critical facts remain unknown.We do not yet have an independent account of what initiated the encounter or what triggered the use of deadly force. Despite widespread speculation regarding intent, there has been no evidence produced indicating an intent to harm the officers. We are calling for a full and transparent investigation by both state and federal authorities.Every peaceable Minnesotan has the right to keep and bear arms—including while attending protests, acting as observers, or exercising their First Amendment rights. These rights do not disappear when someone is lawfully armed, and they must be respected and protected at all times.

I’m sure the NRA will be all over this?..
 
Can't see how Ice carries on post MAGA. There's too much bad blood, too much distrust.

Reckon it will be shut down and a new agency formed to replace it. Hopefully with competent senior management and a proper charter full of checks and controls.

Whoever is in charge of the next sane administration its going to take a full term to undo a fraction of the damage the current administration is doing.

Mate, I asked you a perfectly civil and genuine question a couple of weeks ago and was ghosted, or at least that’s how it appeared: How do you think Trump’s second term is going so far?

I ask this not to point score, but because you have solid critical thinking skills and I genuinely want to know your evaluation of the last twelve months through the prism of what you posted previously, and, crucially, what the reasons are for that - which (ifaik) you have conspicuously failed to do so far (I.e. since Trump was inaugurated).

I’m genuinely interested (especially if your views are broadly unchanged) and what the rationale is for that.

The only way our own views can evolve is if they are subject to challenge and scrutiny, and so I ask this of you because you are far better placed than most to articulate that effectively and persuasively, and this may give me an insight that I had not previously benefited from.

It’s a perfectly reasonable and warranted question to ask on a forum.

Agree. Even if he was carrying a gun, he was held down by 6 guys. It’s justbthe rhetoric now. If they find anything they will shoot you. I thought tyou were allowed to carry guns? Isnt this an infringement of his 2nd amendment rights? Wheres the NRA on this?

Their mo now is anyone carrying a gun even legally and not draw has the intention of shooting ICE agents. It seems only republicans are allowed guns.

The NRA shot him.
 
Someone with no criminal record, no mental health issues, legally allowed to carry a small firearm in their state, legally allowed to own a small firearm in their state, one hand holding their phone recording, the other hand placed on top of their head, had their firearm taken from them by one of the ICE Agents...

...was fatally shot several times for 'potentially carrying out an act of violence against ICE Agents'. Nothing to see here folks, just another case of state acted murder of a civilian an agitator being stopped.
 
I must have missed the asterisk on the Constitution that said “While exercising your First Amendment Rights, you can not also exercise your Second Amendment Rights…and vice versa.”

Firstly, and it has gone unsaid because we are numb to it already (and it didn’t take long!), let’s take a second to highlight the FACT that two adults were exercising their First Amendment Rights on the streets of Minneapolis and were assaulted by Government Stormtroopers. The first one was forcibly shoved into and over a snow bank while doing nothing other than documenting CBP actions.

When this happened, the second adult stepped forward with his phone camera out to record the interaction.

They were both pepper sprayed. They were both physically assaulted. This is ALREADY a violation of their First Amendment Rights.

Then, the second adult was grabbed by at least one CBP agent and then struggled to break free of him, probably out of fear of further physical assault. Because of his struggle, numerous other officers joined in the effort to detain him (illegal) and force him to the ground. He resisted the physical assault WITHOUT ANY PHYSICAL RETALIATION. This incensed at least one of the officers, who proceeded to beat the man WHILE BEING HELD BY OTHER OFFICERS (illegal).

While he was being restrained on the ground, someone shouts “Gun! Gun! Gun!” which is normal to alert others to the presence of a firearm.

However, upon hearing this, at least one officer shoots the man, appearing to strike him in the back. At that, multiple (approx 10) shots are fired, possibly by multiple Stormtroopers.

The man was then executed.

The ESCALATION from ICE/CBP enforcement in seeking out “the worst of the worst” has gone from police action, to illegal chemical and physical assaults as the norm, to executions…on the streets, in plain sight, in the light of day, and then the dead person us further victimized by a propaganda machine that would make Goebbels blush!

IT IS INSANE.

The official government response is that the man was a “domestic terrorist” who brought a legal firearm to a legal protest but threatened CBP Stormtroopers with it.

ALL AVAILABLE VIDEO…from both sides of the street and from inside the vehicle in front of which the execution occurred…SHOWS THIS IS FALSE. Rather, it shows two adult males were assaulted, both with physical force and chemical sprays, before one of them was gang tackled to the ground and executed for exercising his Second Amendment Rights.

It is impossible, after witnessing last week’s execution, to believe that ICE/CBP is not causing more problems than it seems to believe it is solving.

They have undertaken a paramilitary operation on the streets of the country, carried out by masked, virtually anonymous, individuals, that is executing productive civilians with no immigration case and no criminal history, both of which are their supposed focus.

We are in uncharted territory and if Congress doesn’t act, people will start to do it for them, and the NRA will have their wet dream, but, ironically, probably find themselves on the wrong side of the issue AGAIN by siding with the tyrant…which is the reason we have 2A in the first place! YCMIU!

Carlton Heston famously stood on stage at the NRA Convention, while he was leading the organization, and held up a rifle. He shouted into the microphone the NRA’s apparent mantra…”From my cold, dead hands!”

Well, the law abiding citizen, who was exercising the Right that the NRA so fervently defends, was not only violated, but they didn’t even wait until it was in his cold hand before they made him dead for having it at all.

MAKE IT STOP BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF HAND
