I think both incidents change in my mind depending on where I put the "start of the incident." In the second case (keep this shortish). If I just focus on this: a dude gets in a physical altercation with cops. One sees he's has a gun, then a gun shot is heard. Pretty hard. I think by most precedent, that's a lawful shoot. BUT. I think in this case, you could argue that the cop started the physical altercation by shoving the woman into the ground. If you buy that, then the premise of self defense falls apart. Basically, what is a proportionate response by law enforcement to people standing in the street and getting in the way? All that said, the protestors are clearly engaging in civil disobedience, not just protest. Given the the history of successful civil disobedience hinges on getting the state to respond with disproportionate force, this should have been entirely predictable. ICE has handled all of this very poorly. If the goal was lots of deportations, this will end up being a failure. If the goal was a political show of force, it has backfired. In any event, physically getting in the way of law enforcement and not expecting force is just dumb.

I'm interested in what y'all think about the Minneapolis situation. Specifically, the Alex Pretti shooting. I'm a licensed concealed carry holder, and I can't imagine ever resisting arrest or in any way fucking with the police while I have a firearm on me. Not that I would be doing it unarmed either, but when I have a gun on me, legal or not, my decorum with the cops is at a maximum. I feel like the narrative has gotten so warped and biased that we're somehow expected to accept obstruction of justice and resisting arrest as normal parts of "peaceful" protesting. I do not. And I don't believe either Alex Pretti or Renee Goode should be dead, nor do I believe they intended to harm the officers they were interacting with. But I also think their actions were easily interpreted as hostile by officers with only seconds to assess the situation and act in self defense. Neither of these people would be dead if they were holding signs on the sidewalk and chanting anti-ICE slogans.

Out breeding white Europeans, white chicks have forgotten what their number responsibility is

All Taiwan has to do for defense is line the beaches with nudie mag racks and free tablets with whatever version of pornhub they got out there. Invasion halted.

Another article I saw called this guy, Gen. Zhang Youxia, the last real general implying he was the last true military professional. The article had a positive point to it saying that it probably lessened the chance of a Taiwan invasion at least in 2026. I’m not sure about that, sycophants are not sources of sound advice. Sound advice though adjusting for my biases might be now is the time, hopefully not. IDK, what I am concerned is a timed action to take advantage of our electoral calendar and favorable weather conditions, namely a hybrid action in October.

Time to get that 69th booster shot!

Several YouTube videos have appeared on my feed about a failed Coup attempt which is the reason for these sudden purges. I take most of them with a grain of salt but they cannot be completely discarded.

Xi has purged to the point of creating an echo chamber, no one dares push back, no one gives advice, they all just confirm his thoughts and he is convinced he must retake Taiwan.

I'm confused. You just came here and posted this without reading anything?

Xi is in a purging mood thankfully https://www.foxnews.com/world/chinas-top-general-ousted-placed-under-investigation-latest-military-purge

Another reason for them to go sooner rather than later. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-admin-sought-redactions-key-china-war-game-report-warning-us-military-readiness-gaps

You may be right but I have to have some hope there is a shred of wisdom / courage left in the ruling classes and maturity / character in the masses

Well hopefully things get pushed this week since we're staring down another shutdown. If it goes like last time it'll push us past our 28 Feb NLT.

Yep. While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is destroying the West from Within. Excellent read.

A Perfect Storm for Taiwan in 2026? | Foreign Affairs Interesting article.

Have a friend who says he shot a cat with a 5.7 incendiary round, burned for 10”. I’m intrigued…

Ok it’s good to know that no one here was advocating for a US takeover/hybrid war against Greenland. I assumed too much there.

I take my coffee like The Wolf.

Anyone that has been to London lately can tell you it is likely too late for that. Western Europe as a whole has committed cultural suicide in deference to the immigrants.

Hopefully. Although, the Gold Dot and 197SR look a lot better than I would have thought initially.

I would vote for him

That’s pretty much my breakfast today, except two more eggs, a bit less bacon, and none of that creamer shit n my coffee. And yes, there was a couple pistols on the island!

I saw more stars with his slap than closed-fist punches I’ve taken. Don’t piss off Spartac!

Synopsis for those that don't want to watch a one hour video. Old British man looks up and to his right as he stumbles over his words blaming all the stupidity taking root in Britain on the American far left, all whilst using lot word when few word do trick. Russian/British version of a Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk combo explains to the saxons that American wokism has destroyed their culture worse than fire water destroyed the Indians. Their only hope being to elect Nigel Farage before the immigrants and the trannies take over the country completely.

From AFPC: the 30-60 days was only for people needing MFS. They are rewriting this for the next board to make sure it’s clear. They just told me again expect it NLT then Feb 28th and if you are a helicopter select we are projected to move at the last qtr of this year…:/ . But my buddy said they told him that last year and he moved 45 days after notification on Vmpf.
