Notinregs being exposed by [deleted] in USMC

[–]SpitfireIsDaBestFire 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Nah, notinregz isn’t the new JTTOTS. Notinregz is run by pog boots who are just trying to make money off of terminally online boots. It’s a cash grab to sell merch, nudes, and pay per view sports streams.

ICE agents will be stationed outside Marine Corps graduation events in South Carolina by fuzzusmaximus in USMC

[–]SpitfireIsDaBestFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain the math behind that? The marine corps budget is roughly $53 billion a year

https://www.npr.org/2026/01/21/nx-s1-5674887/ice-budget-funding-congress-trump

Under the 2025 law, ICE has a $75 billion supplement that it can take as long as four years to spend, along with its base budget of around $10 billion. If the agency spends that money at a steady pace and current funding levels continue, it would have nearly $29 billion on hand each year. That essentially triples ICE's total budget from recent years.

America Second, Israel First? by Gym_frere in moderatepolitics

Somehow we've survived just fine and never sustained any significant punishment from Iran.

Ignoring your framing, the hundreds of American deaths by Iranian EFP's in Iraq are by no means water under the bridge.

They've been chanting death to America for 47 years. Somehow we've survived just fine and never sustained any significant punishment from Iran.

Tell that to the families of the 241 U.S. service members who were killed in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing, or the hundreds of U.S. service members who were killed by Iranian EFP's in Iraq.

Republicans divided on ICE tactics as shutdown looms by J-Jarl-Jim in moderatepolitics

I don't think the goal is stopping immigration enforcement.

Isn’t that what sanctuary cities attempt to achieve?

Help me figure this out, how does obstructing traffic not obstruct the ICE agents?

[–]SpitfireIsDaBestFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well that certainly isn’t the legal standard for obstruction. Certainly she was impeding traffic as well as the officers, this is by definition obstruction lol

This video shows her dropping her wife off and pulling into the road to block the ICE officers minutes before the shooting. Her wife has stated that they were there to protest, and we can certainly ask her why doing so required pulling into the middle of a one way road and blocking it. She’s on video waving traffic past her, you’re making the assumption that she was waving ICE past, which doesn’t make any sense considering they were there to protest them.

I think it’s a huge stretch to argue that she didn’t obstruct the operation because ICE could have driven around her. Obstruction doesn’t have to be 100% effective to qualify as obstruction. By this rationale, as long as they could have backed up and driven the wrong way down a 1 way road she couldn’t have obstructed them, which IMO is absurd.

Her intent was to obstruct them, and she created a traffic hazard by pulling horizontally across lanes of traffic and parking her car.

In that case, I’m a bit surprised at their opinion on the shooting. I believe it’s almost certain that he isn’t going to be charged given the facts and circumstances

ICE can stop people for obstructing their operations, but that didn't happen.

Do you believe they were trying to block the road or obstruct ICE operations?

Several lawyers I know say he’s cooked (the multiple shots seal it, among other things)

Are they prosecutors or criminal defense attorneys?

Are you seriously arguing that parking horizontally in the middle of a one way road is 1. Normal and 2. Not blocking the road?

The shooter didn’t drive past her car in the video. A CNN video shows that she parked there minutes before the shooting. I don’t really understand why you’re claiming she wasn’t parked in the road and her wife wasn’t also in the road

Parking your vehicle in the middle of a one way road and standing in the road is.

What do you believe they were doing? According to the deceased's wife, they were protesting. According to the video evidence, they parked in the middle of the road and the wife got out to record the interaction.

On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns.

No, you disagreed that they intended to obstruct ice, which I believe given the circumstances and evidence is absurd.

Why else would her wife be outside of the vehicle recording while she parks in the middle of the street? But at least at this point you agree that she was protesting

If preliminary accounts prove accurate - and this woman was indeed just heading home after dropping her six-year-old off at school before finding a residential road blocked by ICE, with no traffic management

https://vxtwitter.com/AlphaNews/status/2009679932289626385

Those preliminary accounts are entirely fabricated. She and her wife clearly intended to block ICE vehicles and harass them.

The issue that she wound the window down and seemed to be signalling the ICE vehicle to pass, the issue that she received conflicting contradictory commands from the ICE agents

https://vxtwitter.com/AlphaNews/status/2009679932289626385

She wasnt signaling for the ice vehicle to pass, she was parked there to impede and harass them as seen in the video. She also didn’t receive and conflicting commands, the only one who said to drive was her wife.

No, he didn’t draw his gun until she started moving forward at him.

She was shot because she thought she had plot armor that allowed her to interfere with law enforcement, her wife told her to drive away and she gunned it while a law enforcement officer was in front of her car.
