How do I balance my views of personal liberty with current republican policy
26/01/2026 | godguy687

Posted on 01/26/2026 7:34:25 PM PST by godguy687

I'm losing faith in republicans to be completely honest, I believe in "Liberal Democracy" I mean people should have the freedom to choose and elect what is they system and political alignment that best suits their values and worldview having a goon squad shoot American citizens is nowhere near what my values are I am a conservative, I believe in Person responsibility, governance by consent, limited government control over personal legal enterprise and entrepreneurship

The Minneapolis Police Department and its Chief caused this indirectly by not enforcing the law. The nurse’s side are the goons.

If you didn’t have the freedom to choose you wouldn’t be alive now.

Your responses have absolutely nothing to do with what I wrote.

Someone else posted that the man was shot when the gun went off.

I responded that his gun does not appear to go off in the videos.

It stayed in his holster until an agent took it. Then, another agent shot the man.

Those are the facts.

Anyone who’s worried about Republican policy when the other party is importing foreigners to help them loot the country is...well...not a serious person.

what I am saying is if you resist arrest while concealing a weapon, you can’t blame police if you end up being shot during the chaos caused by your resistance.

No policeman is going to wait to be shot before acting, the micro second a danger to their lives is known, they are going to deploy leathal force.

The guy went looking for trouble and found it.

You’re not a conservative. It’s the left who are perfectionists — “Aaaauuurrrgh! One exception to the rule and we burn it all down!!”

Two loony leftists get shot in Minnesota while pugnaciously challenging armed law officers and you’re on their side? Getouddahere.

Illegals were arrested for killing 143 people during the Biden Administration alone, and were arrested for almost 1,000 sex offenses in the same period—many against children—and that’s just the ones actually caught and arrested. Their human trafficking and fentanyl businesses have destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives.

“I responded that his gun does not appear to go off in the videos.

“Those are the facts.”

NONE of that matters. If he had stayed on the other side of the road with other protestors, there wouldn’t have been an event to discuss. But he had to cross the road and physically insert himself into an LEO operation. At that point, he became a dead man — and rightfully so.

THOSE are the facts.

I’m glad he’s dead; we all should be. (I’m not happy he’s dead, but I’m glad he is.)

Once again, you wrote a response that has ZERO to do with my post.

Again...

Someone posted that the man was shot after his gun went off.

I responded that the gun did not appear to go off. In fact, one agent removed it from the man’s holster, and then another agent shot the man.

Those are FACTS.

Your continued responses have nothing to do with my post.

Am I wrong that the man’s gun didn’t go off?

Am I wrong that he was shot after he was disarmed?

You did not dispute those facts.

Instead, you responded that you don’t care and you’re glad the man is dead.

Those are your FEELINGS. Your feelings about the man do not change the FACTS.

You also predicted the man would still be alive if he had not inserted himself into an LEO operation.

Probably so. But that statement doesn’t change the FACT that he was disarmed before he was shot.

Now, I will be waiting for more information in the bodycam footage.

Some people just need killin’. He was one of them.
