~~Protesters gathered at the Home2 Suites by Hilton near the University of Minnesota, according to the Minnesota Daily, where they believed federal immigration agents were staying after the killing of Alex Pretti. Video from the scene shows protesters making loud noises outside and graffiti on the windows with messages saying things like “ICE out,” alluding to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal government agency which has been at the forefront of the Trump administration’s ongoing mass deportation campaign.

The New York Post reported the demonstrators also attempted to throw things at people inside the lobby and smash windows. Video shows two federal officers with long guns standing outside the hotel lobby as protesters gather. “Where’s the local PD?” one officer can be heard saying in the video, referring to the police department.

Eventually, law enforcement dispersed the crowd using the irritant colloquially known as teargas.~~

      My position isn’t relevant right now, I’m just here to call out a defeatist troll.

        Sure it is. You say nothing is good enough for me. So I ask, is the country good enough for you? And if not, is it headed to the direction you want? And if not then clearly the amount of effort being put forth is not enough to change the trajectory and therefore it is not good enough for you either.

        But, I think you’re a maga. Because that’s the only reason you would complain about someone pointing out the trajectory.

          Oh I’m sorry, you’ve misunderstood - I wasn’t speaking to you except in the most literal sense, my initial message was just to point out who you were and your pattern of troll behavior to anyone else reading this, so they didn’t mistakenly try to engage with you in good faith / uninformed.

          I long since stopped thinking anything you said was done for any reason other than trolling, as has… well I assume most people on here, otherwise why would you say you have to make a new account every week.

              Seems like if you’re having to create a new account every week, it’s more than just a few people.

                It’s also a tactic to avoid the fed who I’m told is coming for me. Lol. Yet I see no fed.

                Funny how you won’t confirm you’re against maga.

                  I don’t think the feds are particularly known for going after their supporters.

                    Are you suggesting that I am in favor of maga? A thing you yourself won’t deny?

                    This isn’t an insult, because I know you know it’s not true lol

                    Be better. Try harder. Be less maga.
