So what part of “illegal” do they not understand? These idiots don’t realize that if they destroy the rule of law, it will be perfectly OK to shoot them on sight, lawlessness being lawlessness.

Has DARPA actually found a compound that makes people into mindless zombies???

You will not be disrespected. Are you confusing yourself with God? Go talk to Rodney Dangerfield.

Watched several of the videos, and they were charging Rinaldi. Rinaldi was not attacking them.

The one video had one of the protesters in the foreground, nice suit, with child in tow, looked like he was getting out of the place once he heard that ICE was being called.

Just read statement from rinaldi...he said he would shoot the guy in self defense...under police protection. Dem Lawmaker said he would get rinaldi on the way to car.

I look forward to hearing more about this

Rinaldi spoke too early. He should have waited until ICE had completed their work.

He said
F@@@ ‘em..I called ICE.

And to make it even better..he asserted his right to shoot the guy in the head if Dem tried to get him in the parking lot as threatened.

>>“And this is completely unacceptable. We will not be intimidated. We will not be disrespected.”

Neither will we. And your followers are here illegally so that can make this a very one-sided battle.

This is all over the news in DFW this am - I just pray our Capitol building hasn’t been damaged like the one in Wisconsin was a few years ago. Also pray the protesters couldn’t bring in any “liquids” like during the Wendy Davis days. OUR STATE CAPITOL needs to be respected for what it is.

Austin is total nuts at this point. Rinaldi was totally right to call ICE. No telling how many illegals are in that crowd.

What’s with Drudge? Texas newspaper he links to is totally one-sided. Talks about “protestors”, doesn’t mention that they were carrying signs proudly bragging that they were illegal!

Good for the Republican to call ICE on those illegals.
