Let's review:

YOU posted a video showing a crowd of persons demonstrating
that NO ONE IS ILLEGAL ON STOLEN LAND.

Insinuating that AMERICA is stolen land.
And it is !

So I replied with a good laugh and said:
EVERY LAND IS STOLEN.

To which you said that I was in the wrong thread.

I then asked you to think of a country....
any country....
and asked if it was ALWAYS that country.

You did not reply - but instead stated that NOW counts.

It seems to me that if a person is going to demonstrate about something they haven't thought over...
it's likely that the person is not very, let's say, bright.

Which is not a good for the reputation of those demonstrating.


Maybe the
historic record is less obvious to some.

If all land is stolen land,then it makes sense Americans would insure our land isn't stolen from us.


Those who don't defend their home from intruders are worse than an unbeliever.

Yes sir.
I strongly believe we should defend our home.

And intruders should not be allowed into our home.

ICE is removing intruders from our home.
The homeowners should be happy
NOT demonstrating against them.

I think the protesters are Seditionists. If they respected home,they wouldn't insist invasion of it is worth killing ICE agents so to do their part to insure success.

It's late here Button....
I didn't understand your point.
Could you say it in a different way? (almost midnight).

Turns out Pretti had an ICE encounter over a week before he was shot.

That could explain his choosing to bring a gun the next time.


I did see that he spit towards ICE and then kicked their car on our news tonight. He was looking for trouble. He wasn't innocent like the mainstream news tries to make him out to be. Some are saying he was fired from his job at the VA.

Also I saw a stream of the Signal Gate chats...he was involved in the chat and went to the location they told him about...the location where he was shot. So this was all coordinated to impede ICE. But he got shot instead.

His dad had told him don't do anything stupid...which he ignored.

Yep, sometimes weapons are needed

Luke 22:36
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

And in these modern times one would not want to take a knife to a gun fight so get'cha a nice semi automatic pistol with high capacity mags with a few extra mags on hand loaded and ready to go.

If you are interested this is live from Minneapolis right now.
I think if you watch just a small portion of that protest group you'll notice something familiar. The drumming,the whistle blows, are all part of the other funded protester protests that have occurred around the country.
ANTIFA occupation of a city in Oregon, Occupy Wall Street, the J6th violators who arrived after a peaceful assembly had been active for hours prior,the George Floyd protests.

The organizers follow a pattern of behavior. It makes them easy to spot.

I wanted to note that Pretti made multiple appearances during the ICE protests. Up to 30 days at intervals prior to his killing.

However,in this video above you'll have to look for it to see that he's armed even then.The gun is on his waist
against his back on the right side.

He's violent. He kicked out the passenger side taillight of the ICE SUV. And unhinged.
How did the ICE agents miss the gun in that encounter?

Maybe,if they would have arrested him then he'd be alive now.

He was clearly outright looking for trouble !

Who would go and kick a car ? let alone the car of the Law inforcment ! :shockedx

I wonder if I just go down and kick a Police car and see what happens ! or maybe just go and kick your car ? and see what happens.

Oh why did you kick my car for dog ! That's no excuse regardless to do such at all ! as any such a one is clearly a total full on total moron !

ICE Issues Agents New ‘Agitators’ Guidance: Report


Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials in Minnesota have been directed to avoid engaging with "agitators" during enforcement operations amid fallout from two high-profile shootings in the state, according to a memo.

The memo, which was obtained by Reuters, instructs agents to limit interactions to issuing clear commands, noting that confrontations with agitators “serve no purpose other than inflaming the situation.”

Officers are now advised to focus on immigrants with criminal charges or convictions, shifting away from the catch-everyone approach.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not directly comment on the memo, telling Newsweek that agents had prioritized arresting illegal immigrant criminals since day one of the second Trump administration.

Why It Matters

The directive comes after two high-profile fatal shootings involving federal immigration agents in Minneapolis this month. One of the victims, Alex Pretti, a U.S. citizen and ICU nurse, was killed by a Border Patrol agent on January 24. Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent on January 7, with both shootings sparking national outrage. The agents involved have been placed on administrative leave.
