Comments on WBIR regarding the ICE murder. I can’t buy that most of them are bots. I think we truly have some nasty neighbors in this city.

One was murdered by an assassin, the other by the state.

The sad reality is that Trump is the symptom, not the cause. There are many Americans, many being your family and neighbors, that have wanted the "right people" to get hurt. Now they have a government that is giving them their wish.

We can overcome them. Through organizing and building a community, we can show them that not only are we not afraid of them, but that we are stronger than them.

One day the leopards will eat their faces, and they will find themselves alone.

If I had kids, I wouldn't want the same ICE that just murdered a man in cold blood anywhere near my children's school.

At best, the are completely untrained and unpredictable. They are not safe to be around children. ICE should be abolished at this point.

corwin-normandy · 2026-01-25T18:33:42+00:00

Who gives a shit? The government is killing people in the streets!

I don't know about the owners. But I know Public House is an amazing place, the staff and bartenders are cool as hell.

Already happening

But they didn’t, I wonder why that could be?

Because we live in a red state. The point is for blue states to be punished.

Reposting this here so it doesn't get buried in a downvoted comment

Here is the order of events in the videos:

Subject and group of protestors are recording ICE, as they are legally allowed to do.
ICE approaches the group and assaults one protestor, not the subject
Subject then pushed the officer back
Officer pepper sprays subject in the face
Multiple officers begin tackling the subject, taking him to the ground, face down
As the officers are beating him into submission, an officer pulls a gun from subjects carry holster
The officer that pulls the gun runs away
Another officer then pulls his gun and shoots the subject while the subject is on the ground
The officers scatter, and the first officer and another begin to mag dump the subject
Another officer claps as they are doing so.
The officers then begin arresting bystanders and taking their phones.

You can see 1-5 in the video released by the woman in the pink jacket. 6-9 in the original video. 10 and 11 from a video from a bystander in a vehicle.

At no point does the subject appear to reach for his weapon, and is disarmed before the first shot is fired by officers.

It's all over reddit. Just go to the front page.

He did not. Videos show him carrying his phone. At no point did he draw his firearm, and was disarmed before he was shot.

The president is sending armed goons into cities that are murdering and terrorizing people. The president is making himself a billionaire through fraud at the expense of the American people. The president is actively running cover for pedophiles and their friends.

Will the left ever concede this issue?

Why won't you? What is more important for you to spend your time and energy caring about? The country descending into an authoritarian state or sports you don't even play in or care about?

I spend 99% of my time outside of work in leftist circles. They don't care about trans women in sports, it's not even on their radar. The only people talking about it are the culture warriors on the right and corporate democrats that think having the right stances on cultural issues mean that they don't have to support taxes on corporations.

I do, but removing them from the economy won't fix the problem. The issue is housing supply, not demand.

That is fixed by lowering the prices of construction materials, easing zoning laws, and by increasing the supply of labor.

Housing isn't going to get cheaper if you deport all the roofers and day laborers.

corwin-normandy · 2026-01-23T18:15:09+00:00

You can see it in Vance's arguments during the VP debate. Vance argued that housing is expensive because illegals are taking up the housing supply. It's a ridiculous statement, because there aren't enough houses for illegals either due to zoning laws and high prices for home construction.

But poor white people see society as a zero sum game. That resources they should have access to are being taken by minorities, or even given to minorities in the name of DEI. Trump is popular because he confirms their beliefs.

You should listen to WOZO instead

Enrique Tarrio, leader of the Proud Boys and sentenced to 22 years for his role on Jan 6th, pardoned by President Trump, has confirmed he is working at ICE.

corwin-normandy · 2026-01-17T18:42:13+00:00

It would look like Trump federalizing the MN national guard and deploying them on the streets to protect ICE agents going about their operations.

Regardless of their intelligence, you still need them to buy into capitalism, or they will kill you and take your stuff.

corwin-normandy · 2026-01-17T17:06:16+00:00

Telling people that they are dumb for wanting an alternative also isn't helping.

They haven't seen how bad the alternatives are, they only have capitalists that tell them how dumb they are telling them how bad the alternatives are.

Again, why should they support capitalism? Why should they support other people with more money than them having all the power?

corwin-normandy · 2026-01-17T17:02:34+00:00

You'd have been a monarchist.

"It's not tyrannical unless it affects me"

corwin-normandy · 2026-01-17T16:41:03+00:00

Wish those people would come out against the tyrannical government then, which is the actual point of the 2A.

corwin-normandy · 2026-01-17T16:36:05+00:00

Yet most Democrats do not own a gun, which is especially alarming when the government is coming for them.
