How soon?

Dear FPR*,

Dear FPR,

Do you wish you'd been in Minneapolis yesterday so you could have shot that white, single-mom "domestic terrorist"?

Or do you prefer "domestic terrorists" of color?

Like those Somalis (or is it Salvadoreans?) who keep eating your pets?

How soon will Trump-supporting tinfoil-hat JFKA conspiracy theorists start saying the videos of the woman being killed in Minneapolis by the ICE agent were altered?

How soon will you find some nutty way to link Putin and Russian intelligence to the ICE shooting in Minneapolis?

Just a friendly reminder that Trump-supporting JFKA conspiracy theorists belong to the 2/3 to 3/4 majority of Westerners who reject the lone-gunman theory. You might want to keep in mind that your view of the JFK case is shared by only 1/4 to 1/3 of the Western world.

What will you say when no one claims that the videos of the Minneapolis shooting have been altered?

They aren't eating my pets, dearie. Even my Pet Rock is armed with a small but functional handgun made of petrified wood.

No, as an Arizonan I never wish I was in Minnesota for any purpose. Having now read about the incident, it sounds as though the unfortunate Poet Mom went into some sort of panic mode that cost her life - or, alternatively, that she actually did attempt to run down the ICE agents like some sort of crazed QAnon Shaman. I do not make light of the incident - a genuine tragedy, but I learned long ago that sane people Just Do What Armed Officers Tell Them to Do.

Dear FPR,

ICE agent Jonathan "Jon" Ross was standing on the side of the vehicle when he fired his first shot (through the windshield). Trying to avoid hitting him, she had already started turning to the right around the stupidly-left-open door of his vehicle at that point.

IMHO, he should be arrested and charged with murder.

Dear Comrade Griffith,

Thanks for proving my point, i.e., that since late 1961, when the two-year-old top-secret Department 14 of General Oleg Gribanov Second Chief Directorate (today's FSB) sent GRU Lt. Col. Dmitry Polyakov to the FBI's NYC field office to "volunteer" to spy for it at the UN (followed a month later by its sending KGB Major Aleksei Kulak to do the same thing), the KGB, by waging disinformation, "active measures," and mole-based (can you say Bruce Leonard Solie, Leonard V. McCoy and George Kisevalter?) strategic deception counterintelligence operations against us and our NATO allies, has, ever since then, been very successful in getting us to defeat ourselves.

The fact that so many Trump supporters are, like you, tinfoil-hat JFKA conspiracy theorists is living proof of how truly effective it has been.

Jump to conclusions much? One might almost begin to suspect little people in FSB/SVR* uniforms are living inside your noggin. (*Formerly KGB. See what I did there?  )

Her "wife" (but of course) is heard saying that she (the "husband") was there for anti-ICE purposes. This was not Suzy Creamcheese. I'm not saying this was not a tragedy or that ICE could not have handled it better, but your inevitable knee-jerk responses say far more about YOU than about Trump or his supporters. I think you have the most advanced case of TDS I've ever seen.

Dear FPR (Fancy Pants Rants),

Do you think "a little-bit sensitive" Agent Ross was standing in front of the car when he fired his first shot (through the lower-right corner of the windshield)?

Even if "a little bit sensitive" Agent Ross was standing in front of the vehicle when he fired his first shot (which he wasn't), do you think Ms. Good tried to hit him?

If not, do you think it's legal for law enforcement to shoot someone who's trying to get away from them?

Dear FPR (Fancy Pants Rants),

Truth-be-told, I don't like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, or Jeffrey Dahmer very much, either.
