    MN - Alex Pretti dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026

    The link is to a video, not a photo. The civilian is "yelling at the officers and kicking out a car's taillight." The video was released by an independent media organization. This video was linked in response to a question posed upthread - should events leading up to the shooting be considered...

    US threatens to annex Greenland - 2025/2026

    Of course - if there was a peaceful protest and flags were strewn on the ground at the entrance to the US Embassy, clean it up. This was something entirely different, where a War Memorial with flags was put on display in flower boxes near the US embassy. The US has no reason or right to...

    US threatens to annex Greenland - 2025/2026

    Another article about the same incident: "Earlier this week, the US Embassy in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, removed 44 Danish flags that had been placed in flower boxes near the building. The flags symbolized the 44 Danish soldiers who died in Afghanistan. ... The flags were placed by...

    MN - Alex Pretti dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026

    The footage was released by The News Movement, an independent media company. The release of the footage has nothing to do with federal officers. "A newly surfaced video shows a confrontation between US federal law enforcement agents and Alex Pretti, the man who was shot and killed by Border...

    MN - Alex Pretti dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026

    Some will go down the path of questioning the actions that occurred leading up to the shooting, others will take the perspective that it doesn't matter what happened prior to the shooting because there was no justification under any circumstances. From there, the great divide begins. Two groups...

    US threatens to annex Greenland - 2025/2026

    First it was Canada that had to recognize that the relationship with the US is permanently altered, now the EU has arrived at the same conclusion. Although the US government backed away from military aggression against Greenland, the damage is done. "The recent geopolitical tug-of-war over...

    US threatens to annex Greenland - 2025/2026

    Denmark regrets purchasing F-35s from the US, rather than Sweden's Gripens, because that decision makes them vulnerable to the US regarding Greenland security. "At least one nation is regretting its purchase of F-35s. Denmark has been embroiled in a dispute with the Trump administration over...

    US threatens to annex Greenland - 2025/2026

    The US missile defence and deterrence system is becoming obsolete due to advancements in stealth missile systems from China and Russia. I do not believe that the US is concerned about Canada or Greenland, but only the airspace above those countries. If the US could intercept a missile in Canada...

    US threatens to annex Greenland - 2025/2026

    One reason that the US government wants to annex Greenland is for a future installment of the Dome project. The US fears that their US missile defence and deterrence are being rendered obsolete. The US recognizes that if China and Russia attack the US, they will send Intercontinental Ballistic...

    MN - Alex Pretti dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026

    Of course. We can look at the end result and know that no one should have pulled the trigger. That much is obvious. But, some see value in examining the events that occurred prior to the shooting in order to understand how it went wrong. Analyzing the events prior to the shooting does not...

    Deceased/Not Found Hungary - Egressy Mátyás, Budapest 17 January 2026

    The article suggests that he may have been drugged at the party. He fell asleep on the bus after leaving the party, and was seen in a few different locations later. His behaviour was out of character, which supports a possible drugging. He left the party at 2 a.m. and a body was seen falling...

    MN - Alex Pretti dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026

    Everyone everywhere knows that the statement from the federal government is untrue, and that it was released with the sole purpose of placing blame on the victim. That is where the problem starts, because that is the organization that has done everything possible to blame the victim. Those...

    MN - Alex Pretti dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026

    This is where the problem lies: "In the hours after the shooting, the Department of Homeland Security alleged that Pretti “violently resisted” disarmament until officers fired “defensive shots.” But bystander footage reviewed by The Wall Street Journal contradicts that version of events. The...

    MN - Alex Pretti dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026

    I don't think it's enough to arrest the shooters. I think this has to go up the chain to hold accountable those who set the rules that allowed this to happen. This isn't a one-off. This is a pattern. Federal officers are ill equipped to respond to protesters and have resorted to shooting...

    MN - Alex Pretti dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026

    Some of the federal government want to double down, and many seem to view the detention of illegal immigrants as some sort of "war" where they use the word "capitulation" if they withdraw or alter methods. Rather than ask what is the right way to proceed in a democracy, the focus seems to be on...

    MN - Alex Pretti dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026

    I don't think anyone believes that lethal force was justified. The federal officers apparently didn't know what to do when they discovered a legal handgun on Pretti's body, so they started shooting. In my opinion, there is a serious problem with lack of training for the officers, a serious...

    MN - Alex Pretti dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026

    That seems to be the question - what happened prior to the shooting that resulted in the shooting. Some argue that everyone has the right to interfere with federal agents undertaking their job duties. Federal law says that there are limits regarding interference. Intimidation is not allowed...

    MN - Alex Pretti dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026

    There's also federal law, which prohibits willfully interfering with a federal law enforcement agent through the use of intimidation. It is not necessary to demonstrate that force was used against the agent, only to show that someone's willful actions constituted interference. "Section 3056(d)...
