We are a nation of Law and Truth, so the Mendacity Machine[1]<\/a><\/sup> should be, for the good of the Nation’s soul, ignored.<\/p>\n

In a sober court of law, attended by a duly appointed jury, the truth can, hopefully, be ascertained. If the jury observes an attempt to kill the ICE<\/strong> agent who will stand accused, then little more need be done.<\/p>\n

If the ICE<\/strong> agent is observed to have broken the law in the discharge of his weapon, off to prison for manslaughter or whatever the district attorney determines is appropriate.<\/p>\n

Seems shorn of excitement, doesn’t it? Where’s the protests and excitement? Well, I understand we (I live in a suburb of St Paul, MN, across the river from Minneapolis) had a lovely moving memorial for the victim, Mz Good. Peaceful protests convey to the nation the importance of considering whether the ICE<\/strong> agents are truly operating in an honest manner, which is to say arresting violent criminals, or if they’re a sloppy ad hoc<\/em> army spreading terror.<\/p>\n

I can’t tell from here. We really require good investigation and a cessation of the arrogance found on both sides of the aisle. Sadly, we won’t get either.<\/p>\n

I expect a rocky ride.<\/p>\n
