Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsLike probably many of you, I am having trouble containing my anger.
I've been out most of the day, and now I am watching TV about the events in Minneapolis.
As I type this, I'm hearing on the TV that Trump is calling the deceased woman something like a "professional agitator".
I think this is a tipping point.
I knew this would happen, but I can't wrap my head around it.
Fighting mad here, literally.
I don't know what else to say.

(57,588 posts)The 1-minute video at the link is hard to watch. It is the woman and the dog who were in the car with victim. The woman, in shock and crying, is sitting on the sidewalk near the victim's crashed car. She identifies herself as the victim's wife to a bystander who is filming the aftermath of the shooting. The victim's car can be seen in the background. The woman says she doesn't know what to do, that they have no family nearby as they are new to the area, and that they have a 6 year old child who is at school.

(2,095 posts)I am angry at what happened and angry at the soulless bastards (DJT included) who condone this type of thing. I'm angry that there are armed goons patrolling our streets. I'm angry about the idiots who voted for that miserable cretin, especially after having lived through his first term and J6 which we all saw with our own eyes.
I am sad for the woman and sad for all the people who knew her and loved her.
And I'm scared about what atrocity is going to happen next and who's going to be next. And I'm afraid there's nothing going to be done to stop it.

(64,264 posts)Had enough, America?
Had enough of thugs and crooks and liars and buffoons?
Had enough of bullshit and fantasy and opioid hallucinations dressed up as "policy"?
Had enough of endless lies and happy-talk, flag-waving "news"?
Had enough of boot-licking, dick-sucking, ass-kissing politicians who gobble their God-King's shit and proclaim it caviar?
Had enough of naked, bloody force deployed by overweight, incompetent assclowns who couldn't get a job guarding a Cracker Barrel parking lot? Naked bloody force coming soon to a city near you at the command of the Littlest President?
This is the last straw. The only benefit of where I am right now is that today is helping me to substantially simplify my life (as in numbers blocked, contacts erased, relationships ended) , so I guess that's the upside of anger.

The last seven days are an indication they have neutralized any guardrails or controls on their depravity.
Theyve sopped the dogs and drugged the jailers and theyre letting their worst iterations out to parade on the streets and in broad daylight (Literally).

(2,133 posts)Just another example of how little control these goons have--just yesterday a friend in a SoCal city posted online how in the am she and her husband heard a loud bang. They went outside and find an ICE pickup truck (like one seen in the Minneapolis video) was rammed into the side of their own truck, parked in their own driveway! The friend lives on a corner lot at the junction of a moderately busy street/residential street. She said that the ICE truck was after someone and apparently drove across her front yard when trying to make the corner turn, and slammed into her vehicle. Total madness!! It's like these 'agents' think they're all in Smokey and the Bandit or something, just do whatever you want, drive like a maniac, shoot wildly etc.
And it occurs to me that the friend's house is across the street from a school, where there are always kids walking. It would have easily been a massacre if there were kids walking to school when that truck went through there. Point here being that you don't even have to be an immigrant or out protesting or attending an event to be impacted by ICE thugs.

(2,133 posts)She did say that the ICE goons got the person they were after. It sounds like there might have been more than one vehicle of agents, as she made one comment about 'they kept circling (the block) until they knew they had him before they stopped. They came by to survey the wreckage but then went on their way'. There's no way the vehicle that hit their car could have driven on. It was T boned into the side of the friend's truck and the front tires were flat. She posted photos but I don't want to repost or link in case she could be ID'd by anyone out there.
I'm assuming they got contact info from whoever was driving, and there at the time of the crash, otherwise how would they know it was ICE. Many people commented on her post recommending she contact her Congressperson, police, etc. Crazy stuff.

(347 posts)Notice opinion polls.
Also, bear in mind that a minority of greedy mother fuckers have warped the opinions of a significant portion of our population with talk radio and other misinformation, propaganda, corrupt legislation and limitless money, not to mention stealing elections and Russian interference.
Also bear in mind the huge number of people that are disengaged and disenfranchised by design. I'm not just talking about purging voter rolls. I'm talking about a system that breeds a feeling of powerlessness.

(2,120 posts)Our response to the little Nazi shits was to hound them. There was nowhere they could go without crowds of people screaming and protesting. Many of us are too old to hit the streets but we can donate and make signs. Lets protest them find the companies that support them and boycott them. Lets make sure the powers that support the felonious thugs feel our wrath and power. Can the people that can do the research find the silent monsters that support them and make a list, so I can choose where to spend my dollars also check if my state is purchasing anything from them.

(347 posts)After listening to Malcolm Nanace's suggestions, I plan to go to an Interstate 40 overpass during morning traffic on Friday and hang a huge banner that says "ICE murders Americans-Abolish ICE".
And yes, I know that ICE murders and tortures many more non-Americans than Americans, but I'm going for maximum impact to the largely American morning commuters.

(4,375 posts)I've been so overloaded with outrage that I have little left to summon,
and I have to be careful not to say what I really think,
because much of it would violate the just rules of this blessed 'safe space' !
Yes, it is an outrage, a crime and yet another ICE murder.
I hope that justice will be served to the perpetrator
and to those under whom he served...

(10,192 posts)I am furious with them for doing it and us for letting it get this far.
I am furious that we had plenty of warnings and decided not to listen. (Not unusual for this nation, I am afraid.)
I am furious that the programming worked this well. I remember when I laughed at the fact that they were trying to do so.
Not any more. The depth to which this worked is beyond frightening. People are literally afraid to stand up for themselves because they were told not to.
Have we had enough yet? Considering the damage done already, I would have thought so.
But...

(3,416 posts)After the horror of what happened sank in, that was pretty much my first thought.
When Charlie Kirk was killed, I saw posts on facebook about how we libs had to watch out because his murder was the "turning point". I guess the threat was they were going to get worse than they already are.
They ain't seen nothin' yet.

(14,718 posts)I think this is just par for the course, and nothing will be changing on our slide into fascism. Let me know when Governors and mayors start sending the national guard and the local PD to protect people from ICE. That could be a tipping point.
When I see local PD standing with their backs to protestors and their weapons towards the violent RW thugs endangering the nation, I will start to believe theres a chance of turning this around. Otherwise, we are just sitting in a kids tobaggan, having experienced the kiddy ski slopes of previous Republican administrations without jumping off or stopping, having somehow jumped over to the advanced ski slope of fascism, picking up speed towards the cliff at the bottom.
