#ICE thugs were running amok in #Minneapolis. They'd just killed a man an hour ago.
So Steven Saari heads to to the spot in military camo clothing, carrying his Glock handgun. He gets arrested, treated poorly.
But Saari wasnt just a #USMarine, trained to invade places. He was an actual invader of Iraq, and a participant in the #FallufjahMassacre.
Yet here's gun-toting massacre man whining that ICE scanned his phone. 🙄
These whiney killers are absurd.

r/pics doesn't let me post this there because I haven't been active and deleted my post automatically (understandable under their rule, although I disagree with their rule). So, in the spirit of this post, here's a picture of the taxi carrying #TeoPeter (pictured right), bass player and vocalist of #Compact, one of the more popular rock bands in #Romania, after being hit by the #FordExpedition driven by #USMarine #ChristopherVanGoethem, at that time detached at the #USEmbassyInBucharest.
The incident happened in the early morning of December 4, 2004, at the intersection between the Polonă Street and Dacia Boulevard in downtown #Bucharest. Van Goethem hit the taxi while speeding on a red light, and the police later found he was under the influence of alcohool (basically he was #drunkdriving ). Van Goethem was in the car with his mistress, although he was married at that time. As per procedure, the US Marine was taken by the police at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine to collect biological samples. At the location, Van Goethem opposed, arguing that they weren't using the medical equipment provided by the US Embassy. Later, he was escorted outside by a #US security officer, and taken to an #American military base. From there, he fled to #Germany before any charges were filled by the #Romanian authorities. They did request the lift of the diplomatic immunity of Van Goethem, but the American authorities refused the request. He faced a trial back in the US instead, where after 2 years, the #MartialCourt of #Virginia dropped the #manslaughter and #adultery charges (even though he admitted drinking in the same night of the accident). However, the soldier was found guilty of making false official statements to investigators and obstructing justice, but received only a letter of reprimand.
At that time, the Romanian society was really pissed about the incident. Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu, the Romanian prime minister at the time, declared that the court verdict in the #USA was "surprising and quite bizarre at least". Yet, the Romanian authorities had nothing else to do than to respect the #ViennaConvention regarding diplomatic relations, and also went forward with keeping the relation with the US at a normal level. The link between #Romania and #America remains to this day (as I'm writing this) a strong one, even one of the strongest remaining links the US has with a European country (given the state of things).
So yes, this is another instance of a European country (mine, respectively), #EUMember and #NATOAlly #Romania, doing absolutely nothing for the US (well, nothing against it either FWIW).
RE: eupolicy.social/users/jmaris/s…
Please consider sending the following, or similar, to CA senators Schiff and Padilla and to my congressman Panetta.
The men and women who serve in the Marine Corps have a storied history of bravery, courage, and dedication to the US constitution.
Today, they have shamed themselves and let down the United States. The Corps may never recover from this act of cowardice.
General Eric Smith the Commandant of the Marine Corps must order his troops back to their bases, or he must resign.
The US military has generally been held in high esteem. Sadly, probably no longer. The military is now the last major institution in our country that has failed us.
What are you doing to stop this and other Trump illegal actions?
Are you demanding that General Eric Smith order his troops back to their bases, or resign?

Name von schwulem Aktivisten auf US-Kriegsschiff soll gestrichen werden
Die "USNS Harvey Milk" ist der US-Regierung ein Dorn im Auge. Denn Harvey Milk war schwul. Jetzt soll das Schiff umbenannt werden, um die "Kriegskultur" des Militärs wiederherzustellen, heißt es.
Die Nachrichten aus #norwegen stimmen hoffnungsvoll.
Natürlich ist #haltbakk nicht der Einzige Treibstoffhändler, natürlich bleibt die Frage ob wir die #Ostseee ohne #USMarine absichern können.
Aber #Trump dürfte sich jetzt darüber Gedanken machen, wie Einsatzfähig die #USArmy in Europa ist, wenn die #EUstaaten sie nicht unterstützen...
Ein sehr guter und deutlicher Fingerzeig. Ich hoffe dass sich da noch einige anschließen...
Wenn's Trump nicht passt, muss er halt nen Deal machen.
