The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It's a big mistake to just focus on this one particular incident.

States like Minnesota and cities like Minneapolis are deliberately not giving ICE adequate assistance from local LEOs who know the areas and know the communities and know the people who live in them.

They are tasking local LEOs to do everything they can to NOT cooperate, and to actively obstruct the ICE efforts.

This politically-motivated, insurrectionist-minded anti-federal-law enforcement policy is clearly greatly increasing the risk of these kinds of incidents.

If local LEO was assisting ICE, the locals would be doing traffic and crowd control and the ICE agents could focus on illegal aliens.

Since the local LEOS are in fact interfering or at least not assisting ICE, the ICE personnel are overstretched and trying to multi-task a clearly hostile civilian leftist population.

When the town tree cutter trucks need to cut some branches away from power lines on the side of the roadway that you use to go to and from work, does local LEO cooperate and help with traffic control? Or does it say "Nah fuck you, just cut those trees and if some motorist crashes into you or one of your workers gets hit by passing traffic, GOOD!!! FUCK YOU!!! STOP CUTTING DOWN TREE BRANCHES!!! SERVES YOU RIGHT, FASCISTS!!!!"

I mean don't be naive and stupid. The intention of these deep blue leftist insurrectionists was precisely to make ICE's job more difficult if not impossible.

The left is causing all of these tragedies, and doing it deliberately.

YOU guys have the moral and ethical responsibility for these deaths. YOU caused them. YOU wanted them.

That's why you're celebrating them for political reasons.
