Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

No, I'm almost positive Rhodes lost it teaching gun safety, because it's on video, circulated on reddit a few years back but it disappeared. We watched an overhead security camera's view of him shooting himself in the eye accidently. Somewhere in california if memory serves.
I was joking about him training Ice. I should've been more clear.
... Well, watch the video I linked, his son and ex-wife disagree with you, they say he lost his eye in ~~'91~~ '93, not teaching firearm safety, but instead in the above scenario.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Rhodes
Where citations 7 and 11 are New York Times and Los Angeles Times articles that cite Tasha Adams, the Rhodes' ex wife.
But I did make a mistake, this happened in '93, not '91.
If you can't provide the video, I'm going with you remembered it wrong, or maybe a different video of an instructor shooting themself was just labelled as being Rhodes.
And I am also not joking about Rhodes training ICE goons.
He's literally the exact kind of person who would be eager to do so, and he could probably easily get a job doing that, either officially or as basically a contractor.
I can't provide any evidence that he has, but like I said, it would not surprise me at all.
It's possible I remembered it wrong or have the wrong person, I'm quite sure I don't have it wrong but I've thought that before and been wrong. Unfortunately I couldn't find the video when I looked for it before. It's not a freely circulating video I think it gets removed.
Pretty sure I'm right though, and the Times is garbage as far as I'm concerned they traded their credibility, what remained of it. I trust the video of it happening more but I don't care enough to search for it on enshitified search engines that no longer try to find what I'm asking for. At least now when I'm procrastinating starting to work maybe later.
