mallocMan is shot and killed during Minneapolis immigration crackdown, National Guard activated
They decline to identify the man because he’s white.
The victim’s name is Alex Pretti
Alex Pretti was a nurse and researcher who worked for the VA. He was executed for attempting to block Nazi Gestapo from assaulting/kidnapping a woman. 8 Nazis wrestled him to the ground and then shot him 11 times. The first shot appeared to go into his back.
An ICU nurse who got licensed in 2021, right when the covid delta-wave was gearing up to slam critical care units that summer
lumpenproletariatAnd who are the national guard going to be guarding here?
Whoever they are ordered to, they don’t get to decide. And history is shown repeatedly that the united states president always wins when in legal battle with a governor starts.
CileTheSanein legal battle
Like they give a fuck about the law.

Lee DunaTrump shared images of the gun that immigration officials said was recovered and said: “What is that all about? Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE Officers?”
Note that these are the same Republicans who have lectured us for decades about people’s right to carry guns legally.
Also, the image they circulated seems to have been on the internet for a while. It’s not this man’s gun:
EDIT: I have been unable to confirm this last claim, or that the image search results below are real. The source of the search results image is this Threads post.
Drew Evans, superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, said during a news conference that federal officers blocked his agency from the shooting scene, and when they returned with a signed judicial warrant, they were still blocked.
And then, despite having the police and national guard available to secure a crime scene from the murderers themselves, they threw up their hands and tutted disapprovingly.

holy shit, thank you for sharing that.
You’re welcome.
We all may feel some impulse to act, even violently, but have a great feeling of uncertainty because there are no leaders. We need direction based off of game theory, or something. We need strategies that are surgical, because be real — we are outgunned. Yes, there are gun owners on the left, but come on, you know who has the lion’s share. Not only that, but we are different in that we hesitate to harm, because it’s the last thing we want. My dad kills animals for pleasure, but I do not. Also, if you aren’t armed now, you better do so immediately, because the gun nuts are not going to blink an eye when we are inevitably denied access.
We need real strategy. Daggers in a select few hearts may be enough to shift things.
Are there organizations or groups that do this? They would have to do it in secret, so how could we know? So it seems we’d have to assume we couldn’t know and form our own? Honestly, please clue me in!

If you’re proposing what I think you are, it’s sounds like something we tried in the late 1800s/early 1900s. Our lesson was that this tactic won’t solve a systemic problem, at least in isolation. Action without a surrounding social movement is lost. Just ask Luigi - despite the widespread bipartisan approval of their action, there weren’t many copycats nor long-term changes in our conditions. And, if you saw much of other Lemmy instances at the time of that event, you may have seen various people denouncing it as ‘adventurism’, despite how cathartic it was.
So, many of the socialist organizations aim to develop the surrounding movement needed to cause systemic change.
Luigi’s story is just beginning. Don’t write off his influence just yet. The impacts of his fate will be debated for years.
Time for a well formed militia.
MoreMagicIt’s scary to me, how fast USA turned from ”the land of freedom/opportunity” to an openly fascist state.
Was it fast though? Isn’t this what lots of people were talking about how fucked up the US was already but people choose to ignore because *murica first? It was pretty obvious to a lot of people it was a crap country already
