  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If my neighbors were illegal immigrants, then I would be happily applauding their deportations.
The Biden administration had an abysmal record on the economy. It was only by the Grace of God that I still had enough money to pay the bills for my family.

Yet you readily consume the fruits of their illegal labor.

There is a divide widening over the last few weeks between "2A Absolutists" and what the 2A Absolutists call "Authoritarian bootlickers."
The "libertarians" have been revealed in a similar way about free speech.

No. Drinking and driving is illegal.
No its not. Drinking and driving is not illegal.
So, you're not going to say that Pretti was wrong, then. Okay.
Yes Pretti was wrong to insert himself into law enforcement actions which is obstructing and put his hands on an officer which by federal standards is against the law. It was STUPID of him to do so while being armed. He should have stayed out of it.

The shooting itself is a different matter due to legal standards regarding to use of force. And the standards are set. Since we don't have enough information we have no idea if the standards were met or not.

“Keep your gun at home and you won’t potentially be killed by federal forces.” Seems to just fly right in the face of the spirit of the 2nd Amendment.
"Carry your gun as much as you want. Just don't commit crimes and put your hands on LE while doing so."

Yeah like the 3000 federal officers dumped into their city.
Perfectly legal to do so.
These protests
Protests are not the problem. What these agitators weee doing was not protesting.
They are a direct response to the federal presence in the city. That’s where the escalation started.
Yes the agitators escalated the situation. Its their fault. If they would have let ICE do their job, we would have two prople still alive. And probably more criminals removed.

Sounds very privileged.

I’m not sure if we’ll even have an election this year.
The only privilege that I have is that I was born as an American citizen and that the Lord Jesus Christ has saved me from my sins.

I'm absolutely sure that we will have an election this year and every year elections are scheduled. Only God Himself will stop our elections.

I guess you're in that alt-right universe where there are no such things as DUI, since "DUI" is what you said.

Yes Pretti was wrong to insert himself into law enforcement actions which is obstructing and put his hands on an officer which by federal standards is against the law.
It certainly annoyed the Border Patrol agent, but it was not wrong for him to try to protect a woman from a government agent's excessive force that could have resulted in her permanent injury.

Let me help. It is not illegal to drink and drive. However some people drink too much and are DUI. Some people drink and drive thinking they ars okay but act irresponsibly and stupidly with their freedom to drink and drive. Then they commit illegal acts.

Thats what Pretti did. Took a right acted stupid with it and committed crimes while doing it. He acted stupid and irresponsible. That does not mean he deserved to die or get shot. It means he most certainly bears a lot of responsibility for what happened.

Nonsense the woman was NOT sprayed. She was only shoved. By any measurable standard she was in no danger of permanent injury.

In California, it illegal to get caught, with an open alcohol drink in the car.
