Chaos in Minnesota Is Democrat Fomented (Lawful Shooting)

Published by Papa Giorgio
  • “…we have no government, armed with power, capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge and licentiousness would break the strongest cords of our Constitution, as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

John Adams, first (1789–1797) Vice President of the United States, and the second (1797–1801) President of the United States. Letter to the Officers of the First Brigade of the Third Division of the Militia of Massachusetts, 11 October 1798, in Revolutionary Services and Civil Life of General William Hull (New York, 1848), pp 265-6.

It is still true that “if you don’t comply, you may die.” Yes, both Alex Pretti and Renee Good’s lives were preventable tragedies, but the rhetoric from Democrats and their assisting in other’s feeling righteous in breaking the law is the real story!

(My Facebook post from a few days ago)

Sheriff Grady of Florida says in his state 74% of the illegal immigrants that we’ve detained have had criminal charges against them. The other 26% were riding with them.”

Renee Good was a quasi-trained, anti-ICE protestor getting paid to impede ICE was the cause… having her narcissism fed by Leftist government rapidly led to her death:

  • Sanctuary states and cities will not allow ICE to detain and walk out of jail safely (handcuffed) a criminal illegal alien.
  • ICE then must dress in military type garb with bullet proof vests, more powerful weapons, a larger group of persons, to go and capture these criminal illegal aliens at a place of residence or work, where these criminal illegal aliens have access to weapons, they did not have in the jail setting. This requires more men and a possibility of collateral damage.
  • In the process of entering work and residence of stopping a car with the suspect, this is when non-criminal illegal aliens are often picked up. You know, the abuelas the left says they are so concerned about. If they wanted to give these grandmothers a chance to stay in the country, then hand over the criminal illegal aliens from jail.
  • In states that co-operate, these aliens are handed over peacefully to one or two ICE officers from jail. Another factor is if ICE, when going into neighborhoods to find the worst of the worst, if they have protestors blocking the way, police are called in to enforce basic traffic laws (yes, at the threat of impound… gasp). Another contributing factor that saves public lives in states that cooperate is that if ICE needs help, they can call 911, and the police respond. In “sanctuary” [for the criminals, not the taxpayers] states, the police are ordered to ignore such calls – making the public causal collateral damage.
  • Democrat politicians then say such actions – they created the environment for this to happen – are fascist, tyrannical, and should be fought against. In the case of Minnesota, to cover up billions stolen from the coffers of the American taxpayer.
  • Renee Nicole Good [who believed her state representatives that this is the Third Reich rising – ppl are dumb as bricks!], also, while being given clear orders from law enforcement to get out of her vehicle, put the car into reverse, then gassed it forward towards an officer who was walking around the vehicle. Miss Good’s “wife” egged her on to “drive, baby, drive.”

ALL OF THE ABOVE contributed to this woman committing many felonies throughout the day in her attempt to stop a legal action by law enforcement. That would not have happened if these Democrat politicians cared about their constituents. Well, their American constituents. Miss Good would most definitely still be alive if she was trying this in say, Alabama.

But the Left wants a boogieman, for political reasons — let’s hope the majority of the American public start saying no to such Marxian tactics.

ALL THAT BEING SAID, ICE did disarm Alex Pretti… and so this should have changed the direction of the officers in dealing with Alex Pretti. Also what needs to be said is Alex’s resistance, RATHER THAN COMPLYING, was the key contributing factor to any confusion. At that point “gun, gun” was being yelled, everyone may not have been seeing that he was disarmed, or, if he was reaching for a secondary weapon in the chaos during the yelling of “gun, gun.”

All this chaos – DEMOCRAT FOMENTED…
is the reason this is a tragedy. Add this into the mix:

Another officer removed the man’s sidearm, and then walked away, but it was discharged negligently (see for yourself).

The Sig P320 is notorious for doing, but typically only when dropped. That then triggered the other agents to think that the man on the ground, Alex Pretti, had begun shooting, so they neutralized the perceived threat.

If this is what happened, it’s an incredibly unfortunate accident in Minneapolis.

(SOURCE: X)

That does not matter however… Dems shouldn’t have propagandized, Minnesota should have cooperated, thus, Good and Pretti wouldn’t even have been there. LAST SAFETY CHECK? Don’t insert yourself into official law enforcement operations when your state officials fail you.

Which is why this “Twi-X” is so important. Not only would Mister Pretti and Misses Good be alive today [most probably] if my bullet points were the opposite, but they would also be alive if they hadn’t inserted themselves into an operation. Which makes these… “Awful But Lawful”

  • May be an awful shoot, but still lawful. — Eldest

LIKEWISE, if it weren’t for Biden letting in a minimum of 15-million illegal aliens, the innocent lives taken by illegals wouldn’t also be tragic!

One group deliberately put themselves in danger by threatening police officers.

The other includes SOME of the actual victims—people who were harmed by illegal immigrants who aren’t supposed to be in our country at all.

Yet the left directs its outrage selectively, and the hypocrisy is both exhausting and morally bankrupt.

Minimum Wage Realities (UPDATED)

Published by Papa Giorgio

UPDATE via the WASHINGTON EXAMINER with a shout-out to THE SAGE!

San Francisco’s higher minimum wage is causing an increasing number of restaurants to go out of business even before it is fully phased in, a new study by the Harvard Business School found.

The closings were concentrated among struggling, lower-rated restaurants. The higher minimum also caused fewer new restaurants to open, it found.

“We provide suggestive evidence that higher minimum wage increases overall exit rates among restaurants, where a $1 increase in the minimum wage leads to approximately a 4 to 10 percent increase in the likelihood of exit,” report Dara Lee and Michael Luca, authors of “Survival of the Fittest: The Impact of the Minimum Wage on Firm Exit.” The study used as a case study San Francisco, which has an estimated 6,000 restaurants in the Bay Area and is ratcheting up its minimum wage. Restaurants are one of the largest employers of minimum wage workers.

The city’s minimum wage is currently $13 an hour, compared with California’s rate of $10.50 and the federal rate of $7.25. The city’s rate is set to increase to $14 in July and again to $15 next year. That rate, unlike federal law, does not include an exception for tipped employees. The rest of the Golden State will see the minimum rate rise to $15 in 2022. States are free to set rates higher than the federal level, and cities can do the same regarding state minimums.

[…..]

Higher minimum wages also reduce the rate at which new restaurants open by 4-6 percent per $1 increase in the minimum, the study found.

Editor’s Note: In case you do not realize the outcome… the only food places able to stay open are the BIG… CORPORATE… CHAIN RESTAURANTS. Which is why they like raising wages… it kills any real competition — this is ECON 101. But we know that BIG GOVERNMENT likes to be in bed with BIG BUSINESS.

(clears throat… *Ehem*, Dems)

GAY PATRIOT comments on the recent study on the effects of minimum wage, hailing from lib-tard central San Francisco:

[….]

Leftists like to deny math and other facts of business and economics. What makes it odious is, they’re also smug about it. It isn’t just their ignorance; it’s their aggressive pride in staying ignorant.

Via HotAir, now a study confirms that San Francisco’s minimum wage does indeed injure the businesses and workers of that city.

San Francisco’s higher minimum wage is causing an increasing number of restaurants to go out of business even before it is fully phased in, a new study by the Harvard Business School found.

The closings were concentrated among struggling, lower-rated restaurants. The higher minimum also caused fewer new restaurants to open, it found.

So, Nancy Pelosi and her fellow limousine-socialists are looking at fewer restaurant selections for themselves – and more unemployed people. Do they understand that? Or even notice it?

There is only one time when the minimum wage doesn’t hurt employment: When it’s low enough, in real terms, to be ineffectual…..

Some Non-Spiritual Reasoning Behind Why the Left Hates Israel

Published by Papa Giorgio

The Breitbart article astutely ends with this synopsis that makes sense to me. I say in the title “non-spiritual” because as one is more secular… typically one hates more-and-more Godly activity in the panoply of history. In other words, the Left hates miracles! And Israel’s mere existence is evidence of God’s mighty hand.

[….]

The fact is that when it comes to Israel, nobody seems to be interested in the truth. No one cares that it gave up the lands it seized during the Yom Kippur War, in the hope of securing peace. Nor that it gifted the Palestinians 3,000 greenhouses, opened border crossings and encouraged trade. Nor that the Gazans responded by destroying the greenhouses and electing a government committed to eradicating the Jews, which has fired thousands of rockets into Israel, and digs tunnels under Israeli territory from which to launch surprise attacks.

No one cares that Israel gives Gazans advance warning of raids, while Hamas deliberately targets Israeli civilians. Nor that Hamas places its weapons in schools, mosques, hospitals and private homes, to maximise the chance of civilian casualties. Nor that Israel arrested those guilty of murdering a Palestinian youth, and offered reparations to the victim’s family, while Hamas did nothing to capture or punish the killers of three Israeli teenagers. Nor that no Israeli soldiers are actually based in Gaza, despite talk of an ‘occupying force’ by Hamas apologists

No one takes these facts into account because they are unhelpful to the narrative propagated by the pro-Palestinian Left – namely, that this is a battle between a strong, macho oppressor and a weak, downtrodden underdog, which leftists can feel virtuous about supporting.

Israel is a distillation of everything leftists hate about Western nations: capitalist, conservative and fiercely patriotic. It is a projection of their own prejudices about the supposed injustices of societies that cherish the ‘wrong’ values and the ‘wrong’ people. They don’t share the Palestinians’ spiritual beliefs, but they share a common enemy. Indeed, if Israel was removed from the equation, its critics would have little good to say about Gaza or Hamas. Theirs is a marriage of convenience.

The Left’s use of the Israeli-Arab situation as a platform for moral preening, and as a metaphor for its own hang-ups, blinds it to the evils of Hamas and the rest of the Muslim Brotherhood. It seems oblivious to the ideological conflict between Islamic fundamentalists and Western progressives, because it persists in regarding the former as pet victims of the latter. It may discover the hard way that it is giving comfort to an enemy that makes no distinction between liberal hand-wringers and any other infidels.

Feelings Front-and-Center In Race-Based Claims

Published by Papa Giorgio

The Burning Truth writes well on the recent indecent, and brings us into Blaze’s commentary afterword:

…I’m no fan of Oprah, never have been.  Mostly because I know who she really is as a person.

I’ve watched her get away with misleading her audience on a whole host of issues, pretending to be outraged when guests turned out to be frauds, giving away free cars and saddling winners (who had not entered to win) with huge tax bills, refusing to marry because she didn’t want ‘a man’ to get her money, etc., etc.

Now this latest Oprah racism flap has awaken some to what really lies beneath the Harpo.  Others are ceasing upon the story to highlight that even rich black people face racism.  Of course, there is absolutely no evidence of racism in this story, but that hasn’t stopped the race-baiters (Oprah included) from fanning the flames of hate.

Before we continue, you should know that the person accused of being racist has vehemently denied Oprah’s accusations, and Oprah has apologized.

Certainly, it is possible for a wealthy, famous person to encounter racism.  My doubt in this story comes from a distinct lack of anything racial supposedly being said to or about Oprah.  So right of the get go, I’m assuming she’s race-baiting.

There is, however, a history of Oprah frivolously crying racism when she doesn’t get her way.  You see, Oprah is an elitist, and she’s never hid that from anyone.  Her fans were simply ignoring it.  She’s a wealthy, famous person who believes her turds don’t stink, and she thinks people should bend over backwards for her.  When they don’t … RACISM!

In 2005, Oprah also levied the charge of racism.  Why?  Because Hermes would let her in the store when they were closed for business.  How dare they not give her special treatment!

Hollywood.com:

Talk show host Oprah Winfrey believes she was refused entry to the Hermes shop in Paris, France because she is black, and she is planning to discuss the incident when her TV show resumes later this year.

Here is the commentary by the Blaze’s:

In 2005, Oprah Winfrey accused luxury store Hermes in Paris of turning her away when she stopped in to purchase an expensive watch for singer Tina Turner. A spokesperson for the TV personality later referred to the incident as her “crash moment.”

“Crash” was a 2004 film that centered around the damaging effects of racism. The phrase “crash moment” refers to “situations where a party feels discriminated against on the basis of skin color,” CNN reported in 2005.

The claim is extremely similar to Oprah’s recent claim of discrimination she supposedly experienced at a high-end boutique in Zurich, Switzerland. In that case, she says a sales assistant refused to show her a $38,000 handbag because it was too expensive for her. The sales assistant and the store manager have both strongly denied the allegations.

As it turned out, Oprah and her team arrived at Hermes at around 6:45 p.m. on June 14, 2005, which was about 15 minutes after the store had closed and was setting up a private PR event. A store spokesperson said a security guard informed the star that the store was closed. Oprah was given a card and told to come back the next day.

Surveillance footage of the exchange backed up the store’s account. Oprah apparently wanted the store to allow her to make a quick purchase, but was denied.

The New York Post, citing various sources close to Oprah, reported she was turned away because the store had been “having a problem with North Africans lately.”

A Hermes spokesperson vehemently denied the allegation.

“There was never any discussion of North Africans,” she said. “The story is not true.”

However, Hermes still ended up apologizing to Winfrey for the misunderstanding.
