    He didn`t engage with ICE. He went to the assistance of a women that had been assaulted. As any nurse or first responder would do. He was beaten to the ground by a mob of that scum. He did not reach for the gun he was legally entitled to carry, and was shot eleven times and killed after one of them found and removed it from the area.

    If people in the past had not of protested you would not be enjoying many of the civil rights you now are, so rather than your attempts at victim blaming, why are you instead not calling for these trigger happy scumbags removed from the streets and all involved in this murder and the murder of Renee Good prosecuted

    Our friend golfball37 is the same type of person to jump on a Facebook post about a new runway in Dublin Airport being built or the metro and moan about how can we be doing this when there are thousands of people homeless on the streets? Completely oblivious to the fact that governments have budgets. It isn't naivety it's stupidity.

    As for jackdaw and that other gobshite. You are exactly the type of people I would want no where near me in the unlikely event of this country ever descending into civil unrest. The type of people to close the curtains and pretend nothing is happening, hoping nobody notices you and leaves you alone while the country descends into fascism. You are cowards and you have a cowardly outlook on the world.

    Why are these people recording ice? Why are they protesting? Are they stupid? Do they not realise that these people will shoot you if you protest? Oblivious to the fact that this is the exact reason these people are out on the streets recording and protesting in the first place.

    I genuinely hope, that Trump, Leavitt, Miller and all the other MAGA goons hang when this is all over.

    i said in one of my previous posts

    "ICE are poorly trained scum, people for their own safety need to stay the hell away from them, if you engage in any way with scumbags you're going to put yourself at risk.

    Politicians should be using every means available to them to get rid of ICE raids like this and keep people away from interacting with them"



  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 17,706 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manic Moran


    I suspect the answer is that there would be reduced interaction between ICE and the citizenry, covering all forms from temporary detention to shootings.

    I would think it unnecessary, local police should be perfectly adequate to the task, they are even better trained than Guardsmen and normally have greater authorities. However, non-cooperation policies are longstanding, they far predate Trump.

    At some point you are going to have to accept that protocol, the rulebook, and honour has gone out the window, and the commander in chief is a mentally unwell autocrat surrounded by fascists.

    Your knowledge and expertise won't be relevant in the new Reich unfortunately - all that matters is obedience.

    That doesn't give you a get out of jail card.

    Everyone sees through you. You're like a freshly washed pane of glass.

    I swear to feck, as time goes on, more of what Olbermann says here becomes reality.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 33,058 Mod ✭✭✭✭Podge_irl


    Reduced interaction would probably be a beneficial outcome.

    Local police should be perfectly adequate to the task, though we both know that pushing 3,000 federal agents into a city that normally has a police force of 800 has nothing whatsoever to do with legitimate law enforcement. Particularly when those federal officers are poorly trained and have been told from on high that they are immune to laws essentially. And we both know that everything that is happening now in that city has nothing whatsoever to do with non-cooperation with local law enforcement. There is a discussion to be had about whether those policies are helpful or not, but what is happening now is a function of pure vindictiveness from a federal government and if you can't acknowledge that than all of the clearly well founded legal arguments you come up with are just meaningless.

    Saw the video popping up on news feeds myself, proud boy scumbags executed a man in cold blood. It's disgusting and there's not a fúcking hope I'll ever be willing to set foot in the states ever again while this is happening if ever. What's worse about this is Trump and his fúcking degenerate's will obstruct and protect these scumbags like the did with Goode's killer 2 weeks ago. I truly wish for that degenerate Trump to just drop of this existence at this stage the rot he's brought with him is a poison to society and there's no way of undoing the damage he's caused.

    The Democrats over there are hampered by career corpo wingers who are all too often compromising when they should be going scorched earth with insurrectionists and treasonous bastards and are making it harder to organise a real meaningful response there and I really feel that this is not going to end until crowds get sick of these gestapo bastards terrorising them and decide to fire on THEM in retaliation. The sad truth is that it seems the only language those degenerates understand is violence and they won't stop terrorising innocent people until they find themselves being hunted.

    I just wish for an end to this fúcking degenerate timeline already.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,973 ✭✭✭✭briany


    It appears as if a lot of big donor money has moved away from the Democrats while their voter base grow disillusioned. Not a good combination. And they're still trying to be the adults in the room. They're never going to call for any kind of violence so long as they're clinging to this vain hope that America can return to some sort of equilibrium via the same pathways their country has slid into its current state.

    Meanwhile, for Trump and co, chaos is the point. A total breakdown of law and order is exactly what they need in order to rip up the constitution and throw off the remaining vestiges of liberal democracy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,544 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Well, we need not worry.

    Because if ICE are given illegal orders, they won't carry them out, isn't that right?

    After all, you told us people should just place their faith in the man in the uniform. Nothing bad could happen

    People need to be responsible for themselves and should not be putting their lives in the hands of badly trained trigger happy ICE agents. The man's family and ex are surprised this guy actually had a gun on him and say they never saw him as someone who would ever actually conceal carry even though he got the permit a few years ago.

    If your primary objective is to rail against ICE, then you will scream Victim Blaming! and tell other protesters to continue bringing guns to these protests if they have permits. If your primary objective is to prevent more deaths, you tell protesters to not conceal carry even if they are allowed to because they might get killed.

    People used to understand this stuff a lot better, but it feels good to say victim blaming!, so now people don't advise others to take actions to reduce risk because it's not their fault if something bad happens, it's the fault of the rapist, or ICE etc.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,260 ✭✭✭Exiled Rebel


    Horse ****. They took the gun off him and only at that point did they decide to put 10 bullets in to his body.

    Cold blooded murder.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,623 ✭✭✭sock.rocker*


    Yes, he was murdered.

    What part of my post is horseshit?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,803 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    Christ without Trump playing puppetmaster the response is just word salad bingo. Desperate attempts alltogether compared to the united manure front that was posted for Good's case.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,626 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    Though that begs the question what this badly trained rabble, a veritable clown show are even doing on the streets of US cities.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 243 ✭✭Beefcake82


    Department of Foreign Affairs needs to increase the danger rating for traveling to the US at this stage. Turning into the wild west over there.

    You are now on the ignore list. That was a disgusting thing to say about an innocent person who has just been murdered.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,711 ✭✭✭Virgil°


    It's telling that even @Manic Moran's (our resident excuser of all atrocities committed by this administration), only posts about this issue have been responding to tiny unimportant legalese side-issues. If even he is skirting around this then it must be bad.

    So how about it Manic? What'll be this time? "Awful but lawful"? Was this another case of officers suffering from whatever that psychologically startled trigger finger nonsense you posted about before. "Sympathetic squeeze"? could be wrong on that one.

    Did this unarmed nurse need.. what was it? 11 bullets while on the ground to resolve this situation?

    Of course it's the fault of ICE or the rapist, are you trying to say it's not?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,544 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Bondi sent a letter to Minnesota today demanding voter rolls in exchange for removing ICE

    Fault is irrelevant if you end up dead. It is not our fault if a bad person does a bad thing to us, but it is our responsibility to reduce the risk of bad things happening to us.

    Bringing a gun to protests that frequently turn into altercations increases the risk of something bad happening to us. You classify that statement as victim blaming, but it really is just sound advice that we should all give to the people we care about.

    These are real people getting killed and the response to it online is Of course you should bring your gun to protest ICE if you have a permit. I think that is irresponsible and it is said by people with no skin in the game.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,544 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    If this is what ICE are doing in front of cameras, imagine what they are doing in camps and behind closed doors....

    Well, I've not been on a computer today to watch the videos, (greetings from a birthday party, I'm on a 'phone) but since you ask, the initial feeling I get from what I've seen is unlawful homicide. I do prefer to research before posting, however.

    I would query your description of he psychology involved in shooting people as "nonsense", it's a reasonably well researched subject.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,852 ✭✭✭Wolf359f


    Correct me if I'm wrong…. but the victim was unarmed when he was shot and killed?
    If he was armed when he was killed you could maybe argue a point, although Americans are allowed exercise their rights under their constitution.
    They are slowly eroding away their bill of rights with some folks cheering it on. It will dawn on them when they are next!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,544 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    The person was disarmed before being shot.

    Seems to me therefore that having a gun in the first place is irrelevant.
