Executive summary: Dude robs a Brink’s truck, sets off speeding, gets his tires whacked by a spike strip, runs into a house to take hostages. Hero cop hurtles into action, kicks down the door, empties his high-cap mag into the choirboy. End of story.
No calls for backup, no dithering, just takes action and the story ends.
Frigging hero.
As much as I feel like saying, “What took you so long?”, I must confess to some considerable satisfaction at this development:
FBI Director Kash Patel has purged his department of agents linked to the Biden administration’s efforts to jail the Democrat former president’s electoral foe, Donald Trump.
Patel forced out field office leaders and other senior agents connected to the two criminal investigations of Trump, including the special agent in charge in Atlanta, the acting assistant director in charge of the New York field office, and the former special agent in charge in New Orleans who had recently moved on to another job, MS Now reported and two senior administration officials confirmed to Breitbart News.
As many as six agents in Miami were forced out over their connection to the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago, conducted by over 30 agents accompanied by CNN cameras.
And I don’t want to hear wailing from the Usual Suspects about “Oh noes, you’re politicizing the DOJ to go after political opponents”, because you assholes fucking started it and turned it into an art form.
As a form of legalized spite (the CNN cameras), it’s hard to top this one — not to mention that their overt goal was not only to humiliate the ex-President (rummaging in the First Lady’s lingerie drawers?) but to prevent him from running for office again.
More like this, Kash. Lots, lots more.
Well, he got what he asked for. Sadly, however, I see no floggings in his future.
Here’s one that perked me up and made my morning brighter:
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a woman on Wednesday who allegedly attempted to run over law enforcement with her vehicle amid immigration enforcement conducting a crackdown in Minneapolis.
Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said that the woman was shot in her vehicle in a residential neighborhood in Minneapolis.
The woman in a Honda Pilot SUV appeared to be blocking the road in front of an ICE squad. As agents approached the woman, she backed up and pulled forward. While pulling forward, an ICE agent in front of the vehicle pulled his service weapon. The agent fired at least one shot into the vehicle as he sidestepped the moving SUV. The vehicle then crashed into a parked car.
Good. I’m sick of these assholes screwing around with ICE, and this was made all the sweeter by the fact that it took place in the People’s Soviet of Minnesoduh, which explains the reaction from local politicians:
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said regarding DHS’s explanation of the shooting, “So they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video … myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit.”
He added that he feels “this was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying.”
“We have been in contact with law enforcement leaders, the Attorney General, and the Governor’s Office throughout the morning and are pushing hard for a local investigation which is the only way to ensure full transparency and review by our office. We will use every available lever to ensure a local, transparent investigation takes place,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said in a statement, FOX 9 reported.
Frey posted on X, “I am aware of a shooting involving an ICE agent at 34th Street & Portland. The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city. We’re demanding ICE to leave the city immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities.”
…against the cops, yeah, we get the picture, you Commie bitch.
Of course, if our hero ICE agent were to be treated in the same way that career criminals are ordinarily treated by Moriarty, he’d be released within minutes. As it is…
I want ICE to go into this festering cesspit of a city harder and yet harder, in greater numbers and with even greater resolve. And if the “residents” get out of control such as happened in this instance, I want to see more gunfire. Let’s see if these criminal supporters [sic] feel that strongly about their case then.
Look, I’ll come right out and say that if anyone needs to be kidnapped at dead of night and black-bagged on board a U.S. Navy ship to face a trial for all sorts of unspeakable bastardy, that Commie rat VenezPres Nicky Maduro would rest comfortably in the top ten.
What amazes me is that with all the domestic bastardy we have right here in the U.S. of A., why does it seem to be easier to arrest someone in South America than to do the same to, oh, Somalian fraudsters, Congressional thieves… and ne’er-do-wells like [pause to take a deep breath] George Soros, Barack Obama, Eric Swalwell, Ilhan Omar, the Clintons etc. etc. etc.?
In other words, can we at least start to get some of the well-known local assholes into orange jumpsuits before venturing into furrin countries?
Because — and here’s a parallel thought — I have to say that unless the DOJ has some serious goods on Maduro, and by this I mean evidence of actual crimes that he has committed against U.S. citizens, I’m profoundly uneasy that we can just grab the leader of a foreign state, bring him Over Here and book him. (I know, there’s the Noriega Precedent for this kind of thing.)
I mean, what’s BritPM Keir Two-Tier Starmer? Chopped liver? Surely he should have been ahead of Maduro on the list of kidnappees? [pause to let the storms of applause from my Brit Readers die down]
And if we’re going to nab Maduro for shipping the eeeevil droggs to the U.S., what about the Mexican drug exporters? (Okay, maybe they’re better-protected than Maduro, but still.)
All that said, if one of the end goals of this action is to make the other South American assholes (like that Colombian Commie tool) uneasy about their future prospects, then I can see why Generalissimo Trump dun wot he dun.
A story has come out about the OzCop who is supposed to have shot and killed one of the Muslim terrorist assholes, ending at least that one’s participation in the fun and games.
Some salient facts: the gun was a Glock (model unknown), and the guy took his shot from just under 50 yards and dropped the dirtbag.
That’s some good shooting, or else just very lucky. (That’s why we shooters concentrate on shooting 3- or 5-shot groups: do it once, fine; do it again, good; do it five times, now we’re talking. Consistency takes luck out of the equation.) Consider the pic:
Couple of comments: Note that Our Hero did two things that helped him: he took cover behind a hefty tree, and used the trunk as a rest. (If he’d made a 50-yard kill shot offhand, I’d have to go with a 60% luck factor unless he was a highly proficient handgunner with maybe some competition experience.)
As for the tree, it’s a well-known fact that a thick tree trunk will stop the vast majority of calibers, and as anyone will tell you, if you’re going up against a hostile shooter, cover is essential because the less of you he can see, the better chance you have of surviving.
Anyway, all’s well that ends well. It’s just too bad the other asshole wasn’t shot and killed as well.
