Government

Working on It

A Mexican national in the US illegally was being taken into custody by ICE and tried to run over the officers with his car. ICE agents shot and killed him. The man’s son released this:

My father, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a hardworking Mexican man, was the man killed this morning by ICE in the East End. My father has been in this country for nearly 35 years, working in construction to provide for myself, my two brothers, and my mother. He was in the process of obtaining his work permit through the legal process. He was on his way to work, picking up his workers. My father did not deserve this. Please respect my family’s privacy during this time. There are a lot of videos and pictures out there of my father’s final moments that I do not wish to see. For more information, I will be speaking at a press conference, with the support of LULAC Tomorrow, Wednesday, July 8 at 10AM at The Greater Coalition for Justice – 150 West Parker Rd Houston, TX, 5th floor.

I note:

  • How have you been “in the process of obtaining” a work permit for nearly 4 decades?
  • If you want your privacy respected, the best way to do that is not have a press conference
  • Pictures show him to be 52 years old, he illegally immigrated here at the age of 17.

On thing I do agree with is the need for an investigation. All law enforcement shootings should be investigated, just as citizen self defense shootings are. However, when and if the investigation discovers that the man’s wife is also illegal, she should be immediately deported. Of course, the sons are citizens and can’t be, but mom’s got to go.

Local politicians say:

We need answers, and Congress must act with meaningful immigration reform that reduces unlawful border crossings, addresses the backlog of asylum cases, and creates a pathway to legal status. 

There is only one way to do that. If you create a pathway for illegals to become legal, you will simply get more unlawful crossings. The only way to do that is for Congress to throw open the borders and make everyone who comes in legal. You cannot have open borders and a welfare state. It is impossible for the two to coexist.

The illegal immigration ship has sailed. Too many people want the borders open. Our nation is about to fall. Keep prepping. It’s going to get ugly.

You’ve Heard of Free Speech?

I guess the cops that read here will call this “more anti cop bullshit” but I still call them like I see them, and this is unconstitutional as hell:

Saying someone will be arrested for calling a tranny “sir” is a violation of the First Amendment. End. Full stop.

EDITED TO ADD: This isnt one Ft Worth cop. Its apparently department policy.

My Solution

Make an announcement:

Return to your cells immediately. In 5 minutes’ time, any inmate found outside of their cell will be shot for attempting escape.

Then sweep through the jail and shoot every single inmate found out of their cells. You could stream the body cam on pay per view and allow betting on which inmates would be shot. Relieve overcrowding, make money for the jail, end the riot all in one afternoon.

New York Insurrection

It’s time to declare New York City to be in a state of rebellion.

Trump should:

  • Demand the Governor of New York bring her wayward city under control
  • If she fails to do so, declare the entire state of New York to be in a state of rebellion
  • Declare all New York congressional seats to therefore be vacant
  • Declare martial law in the states under rebellion and suspend habias corpus.
  • Ask the other sanctuary states if they would like to continue on their path

It won’t be the first time a Republican President did so.

Either that, or once the 2026 election has been lost (as it likely will be) states like Florida should simply declare Federal law to not be enforceable within their borders. Machine guns and missiles for everyone.

Wrong

Retard takes from a ‘veteran’ on social media:

Armed citizens SHOULD NOT be getting involved in gunfights involving police and criminals.

  • 1) The police don’t know you from Adam so your presence with a gun only cause more confusion and the likely hood a innocent person including yourself gets injured
  • 2) Most “armed citizens” I don’t care how many times you go to the range and shoot have no idea what it feels like when rounds are flying your way. Again its likely you would make the situation worse
  • 3) Armed citizens should only use their guns in a defensive manner. This shit isn’t a movie!
  • 4) Police have protections the average citizen does not. You shoot and kill anyone whether you are “trying to help or not” and you are civilly liable unless your life was in direct danger

Let’s address this idiocy by the numbers:

  1. Don’t try to stop criminals from engaging in spree shootings, or the police might kill you because they don’t care whether or not they are shooting the correct person. How is that an indictment of private citizens and not the police?
  2. Most cops don’t have any idea of what it’s like to be shot at. Less than 25% of cops are ever fire their weapons. It’s even lower for veterans. Even considering the lengthy GWOT, only 10–20% of all U.S. veterans have ever been engaged in combat, and most of those were IEDs or something other than small arms fire.
  3. OK, and? The same is true for cops.
  4. That’s incorrect. I can shoot to prevent someone else’s life from being threatened. I can shoot to stop a forcible felony. So that’s not exactly accurate, because real life is far more nuanced than you leftist simpletons can comprehend. Even so, cops shouldn’t be shooting people unless lives are in danger either.

Just because you were in the military doesn’t mean that you have more knowledge, legal or firearms related, than anyone else. It also doesn’t grant you rights or powers that anyone else doesn’t also have. So sit down and be quiet, adults are speaking.
