If ICE thugs won't get punished for the 2nd time, I'd expect a 3rd one

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 15 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Im guessing that this is going to escalate until either martial law or ICE leave MN.

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 17 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Yeah, ICE ain’t leaving. TACO has no force compelling him to do so.

I’d bet a fiver on a 3rd killing in the next couple weeks. As soon as the first person fights back it’ll be martial law.

I really home the general strikes take off, but the movement needs leadership and direction. Fuck.

Couple of weeks? I'm betting the end of the weekend.

And who are the national guard going to be guarding here?

Asking the important questions

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 5 points 30 minutes ago

The guard was activated to assist police. UsA is cooked

[–] PointlessProtestAgainstTheMachine@lemmy.org 17 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

They decline to identify the man because he’s white.

The victim's name is Alex Pretti

Alex Pretti was a nurse and researcher who worked for the VA. He was executed for attempting to block Nazi Gestapo from assaulting/kidnapping a woman. 8 Nazis wrestled him to the ground and then shot him 11 times. The first shot appeared to go into his back.

No one should die because of ice, but there’s an extra level of hurt when it’s a person whose life is about helping others.

My only question: will this administration federalize Minnesota national guard?

And if so, will they listen?

[–] Vile_port_aloo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Who is the person running away with the gun!? They join the huddle then walk towards camera to leave.

National Guard Activated FINALLY to HELP the ~~Protesters~~ ICE!
