1. I watched video of the 2nd guy shot yesterday at least ten times. Showing up at a situation....designed as a confrontation....with a firearm....was on my dumbass-index (1-to-10)....a '9'.
2. I had to look up the pistol that that guy brought....Sig Sauer P320 AXG, with extras....typically costs minimum of $1,500 (figure discounted price)....might even be $2k.
For self-protection....way over the price-margin. But I guess nurses make that kind of extra cash (unless you were making $500 a month showing up at ICE confrontations on the 'black')....then you only needed four months of confrontation-work to achieve a new 'toy'.
3. Some advice....if you show up at a protest situation....with a gun being noted....the focus of the police is YOU. They will command you to holster the weapon, and if you act 'goofy'....you are a perceived threat.
4. Minneapolis mindset? I came to the conclusion last night....Antifa-attitude on full display. People consumed with passion to confront, and be a 'hero'. Oddly, you show up at a ICE situation, where the pick-up guy illegal...has a rap-sheet with several serious crimes noted. You end up dying for worthless cause.
5. Somewhere in all the mess going on....it's become noted that Somalis in the city.....ARE NOT....reporting deaths of the elderly. They are doing this to keep collecting the food stamps, housing benefits and other taxpayer funded aid.
Grandma up and dies....I would imagine two or three Somali guys show up...bag-up grandma....haul her at night to some graveyard, and bury her. No paperwork.
How many like this? Unknown....but you can figure a hundred 'agents' need to scan and prove the life status of everyone in the state.
6. On my insurrection-occurring-index (1-10)....at this point, I'd say we are pretty close to a '7'. If we start having a death per week....it seems to hype people up.
7. Governor is calling for activation of the state Nat'l Guard....mostly hinting that the police aren't protecting citizens. Governor says he wants the feds to pay for the guard costs.
The problem I see....Minneapolis police aren't stupid....they won't show up (even if ordered) at a ICE-confrontation event. They see themselves drawn to a 'trap'....so why take risks. The Governor seems to believe that Guard members would take orders and walk into a 'trap'.
8. The one obvious thing I note out of Minneapolis and the confrontations.....you just don't see any blacks engaging or participating. Lot of white women, and mostly all whites in general.
9. Someone put up a map of the city where Good/George Floyd/new guy were shot....all within a 12-mile circle. Oddly, one local noted the key-part of this area....where 'social justice thrives'.
10. This dead guy (Pretti)....had a social media account....friends noted of the guy....he deleted the account a couple of days prior to his death.
11. One gets the feeling....the Antifa plan is to escalate things....to get US Army brought in, and Civl-War is created.
