ICE Raids, Problems and Solutions
Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed John D. O’Connor.
There is no doubt that the situation in Minneapolis is at a boiling point. Regarding the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, it appears to this observer that the federal agents were at fault, and this case must result in such an acknowledgement and settlement. But we must ask, why would Pretti bring a firearm, without requisite ID as well as two loaded magazines, unless use was contemplated. How can that be justified? It can’t but it does not justify his death of course. But anyone who has observed these fraught situations, as occurred in the anti-Vietnam protests and the misnamed Boston Massacre, knows that this sort of unintended violence is certain to happen. Again, this is not a justification, nor should we be persuaded by Second Amendment advocates that bringing a loaded weapon and magazines to a roiling protest is wise conduct. Solution: if Minnesota and Minneapolis agreed not to be sanctuary State or city, honor detainers and assist agents through skilled local law enforcement, that would be wise. If President Trump agreed to dial it down by clearly seeking worst first, and lowering profile if local law enforcement would cooperate, that would be wise. Whichever side so agrees wins this battle of honor. Who knows, maybe the adults in the room prevail.
