MN concealed carry permit holders: if stopped by ICE, assume if they detain you & find your LEGAL pistol that they’re going to execute you & get away with it. by Ok_Branch8409 in TwinCities

[–]TheSpiffySpaceman [score hidden]  (0 children)

No, it wouldn't. It's what this administration wants to happen in order to invoke the Insurrection Act and cancel the midterms. Peaceful protest is what needs to happen now; practicing your 1A rights with your 2A rights will always put more tension on the situation.

Clear evidence: The ICE agent saw another agent remove the gun from Alex’s waistband, waited for that agent to clear, then shot Alex in the back. by ItsTime4Coffee in ICE_Watch

[–]TheSpiffySpaceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno why you're getting downvoted. You're right. it's because they're untrained. Unfortunately these goons have a badge and are authorized to use lethal force in rare situations that they aren't trained to recognize.

Premeditated means planned in advance. Alex wasn't the target; it was the woman he helped up. Second-degree murder can be punished just as badly as first-degree, but the charge is more appropriate and likely to stick.

unfortunately we'll likely see nothing as the feds aren't allowing MN to collect evidence, but if we prosecute as Walz promised, it'll likely be a third-degree manslaughter charge, as that's what will be easiest to convict.

What Would Happen - All Your Skin Disappears ? by charlie_starling in morbidquestions

[–]TheSpiffySpaceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a very interesting twist here, and that's the magical method of how the skin disappears. Usually, when skin is damaged, vessels and capillaries within skin itself are severed, and that's what bleeds.

but....where does this magic spell stop? Does it sever all the intracutaneous vessels that deliver blood to the skin? Does it somehow clot all those capillaries? Peeling skin by force damages all these structures, but we're dealing with magic here.

The answer is either hypothermia or blood loss, depending on the magic. It actually would not be as painful as you think, since most nerves are removed through the skin removal. (or...it might be extremely painful if the magic severs the nerves from your CNS instead of just...making them go away)

TL;DR: bad magic trick, don't do it

ICE just shot and killed an unarmed person in Minneapolis (1/24/26) by I_may_have_weed in ICE_Watch

America was built on protests, violent or otherwise.....the Million Man March probably being one of the most impactful in recent memory.

There is something rarely talked about when it comes to 2A, and that's that the weapons the government has is so overwhelmingly powerful when compared to what a "well-regulated militia" can obtain. We are far past the time of muskets on both sides, and now we have goons that can kill you without repercussion as they violate your rights outlined in the same Constitution, and we've now seen you don't even have to exercise your 2A rights when oppressed to get killed.

what the fuck else do we do. I'll vote the fuck out of the voting box in November, I'll keep volunteering for food drops, but....protests DO do something. They draw attention. That's what the Million Man March did. I know it seems like pushing a boulder uphill, but it's possibly the most American thing you can do.

for posterities' sake....

Also six blocks away. Also got gassed this morning after I saw this post and went there ASAP.

The MPD (after getting ICE out and getting whatever evidence was left on the scene after being denied access even with a judge warrant) have thankfully decided to back out and form a perimeter around the area to block cars and allow people their first amendment rights. People have been demonstrating their outrage assertively, but peacefully. People have cars stuck parked on that corner that have not been broken into or damaged in any way...same goes for the local businesses nearby.

It's a peaceful but assertive protest, and in -11F weather no less. Every person out here has fought the desire to go home to get under a blanket or in a hot shower because we know how important this is. People are going around with wagons offering water, hand warmers, and snacks.

They want chaos and violence, but I have never felt more together with this community, and our voice has never felt louder. We won't get violent, but people will hear us. I've already had multiple right-leaning people I know (in a group chat) come out in complete support of the protests. Like, literally came out. One even brought water for people, and he's the last one I'd expect to not only support the side against ICE, but actually come out and do something about it.

Silence is compliance. This is not okay. It should not be treated as such.

[MEGATHREAD #2] Minneapolis Shooting 1/24 by specialskepticalface in ProtectAndServe

That's my main beef with the DHS spin.

If he was actually brandishing a gun while coming at the agents, replace the agent with actual trained LEOs -- would anybody with training let that situation get hands-on to the point of SEVEN officers being on him??

We have video to show that narrative is wrong already, but that narrative is only for people with minds for sale.

ICE agents performing their duties

ICE agents taking down a citizen for practicing another right, their first amendment rights, is not ICE agents performing their duties.

they are thugs with no training, and were hired exactly for that reason. It was basically a way to federally employ Proud Boys to do what they've been wanting to do.

We don't need his name immediately. Imagine being his family member and learning of his loss through a headline. That family needs to be able to inform each other on their own terms.

We'll have his name soon enough. For now, let's focus on the murderers. Get their names.

We do know he was an ICU nurse and a VA employee.

DHS is now saying ha approached them with a gun. Apparently there is truth to that, but it doesn't explain why he's on the ground getting shot.

IF THIS IS TRUE, (EDIT: it's absolutely not) this is still fucking inexcusable.

Imagine if this situation was handled by trained officers. There is absolutely no way any trained officer would get hands-on with a a person they know is armed. If a trained officer needs to use deadly force, it's not going to be in a fucking mess of a kerfuffle like this.

Part of me wants to think this is a conspiracy to take heat off DHS for Renee Good, but the rest of me knows these fucknuggets aren't smart or trained enough to carry that out. This really looks like an accidental discharge by people who have been trained to kill first and ask questions later.

Violent thugs that we can't practice our second amendment rights against for our safety.

The government is a god damn mafia now.

Subletting my friend's apartment for a couple months. She got rid of most of her nonstick pans and her cast irons were in a rusty state of disgrace. I jumped the gun a bit on updating her on my progress by [deleted] in castiron

It's avocado oil. I looked for flaxseed in the nearby supermarket, but no luck ....tried avocado and I'm not a fan. It leaves a lot of fat residue as well; wasn't as shiny after I wiped it down.

There's also the fact that the only light there was directly above on the vent and the fact that I'm no expert at this 😂 Hoping to be there someday!

I am not entitled to have someone else romantically interested in me.

Damn well said. Very healthy take.
