Thoughts on ICE and the latest George Floyd style leftist idolatry of Pretti and Good.

First, legally speaking, there is no doubt that both shootings are going to be held as justifiable.Second, had both of these people done what they were told, they'd still both be alive.Third, bringing artillery with you as you confront ICE will rarely end well for the carrier.Fourth, neither shooting would have taken place had Minneapolis Police been allowed to do their job, i.e., provide security for ICE operations.Fifth, the Second Amendment goes out the window the moment you engage in criminal conduct, which Pretti arguably did do.Sixth, leftist politicians, who are using these people as tools, don't care how many protestors are hurt or killed as long as it's on video so they can do their virtue signaling sound bites.Leftists lied repeatedly over the circumstances concerning the Good shooting.It is well known from massive video evidence that Rachel Good did, in fact, hit the Agent before he fired.The lesson in that action is clear: if you're driving a vehicle and you don't want to become a target?Then don't turn federal personnel into targets.As for Pretti...The 2nd Amendment does not entitle you to engage in criminal conduct. He was first, engaging in obstruction and second, resisting arrest. He was also like in violation of a federal law or two, but hey, so what?I appreciate the expertise of those so concerned about the Bill of Rights. But nowhere in that document is the word "protest," present, for example... kinda like the words "abortion" or "privacy."Everyone does, however, have the right to "peaceably assemble." This was not that.Their ilk has caused millions of dollars of damage and have absolutely zero problem destroying private property whenever you feel like it.Not does it give anyone the right to vandalize, block traffic, violate any laws/ordinances, assault, use their vehicles as a weapon, block traffic, intimidate those who disagree with your views, loot, burn or murder, or vandalize vehicles like Pretti did several days earlier.I understand that hatred is what motivates their ilk. I understand they don't care about federal immigration law. I understand that when millions were forcibly deported under, say, Obama, none of them cared. I understand that even though they tried to hang the "cages" and the "separating families scam" on Trump, that happened for 8 years under their hero and none of them cared.But while this guy at least TWICE brought a weapon with him as he was confronting federal law enforcement DOING THEIR JOB, I also understand that his right to carry ended with his criminal behavior.Did he have the right to engage in such stupidity? Up until the moment he interfered. Then he lost that right.And at the end of the day, there's one undeniable fact:
