Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient William Vermie told ABC News that he was tackled and arrested by ICE in Minneapolis and held for eight hours.

So we’ve gone up from 4th Amendment violations to the 5th Amendment. Soon it’ll be 6th, and the 13th is a little shaky.

        That’s what I thought, debate bate.

        And would you look at that! It comes with a bonus MAGA accusation! A two-fer!

        I’ll digress…

        If it might help you later on, it’s best not to make assumptions based entirely on someone’s unwillingness to argue with you online. It just ends up making you look like a fool. And we really don’t need that now when we’re supposed to be unified.

        Just some friendly advice.

          Also, if you were doing something that could make you a target you’d have to pretty fucking stupid to talk about it openly on the internet

            LOL, he’s not doing shit and we all know it. So much big talk on the internet, it’s pathetic.

            He feels free to incite to others to commit violence, is that smarter?

              Yeah right, real believable. Apparently it’s perfectly safe to tell OTHERS to commit violence on the internet though. I guess the government draws the line there.

          That’s what I thought, debate bate.

          LOL, “debate bate”, this is a discussion forum. You’re insulting me for using such a forum to engage debate?

          Let’s just be honest, you’re deflecting because you don’t want to answer my question.

          And would you look at that! It comes with a bonus MAGA accusation! A two-fer!

          Yes, your obvious deflection is akin to MAGA tactics, they do it all the time. You’re doing AGAIN, right here.

          If it might help you later on, it’s best not to make assumptions based entirely on someone’s unwillingness to argue with you online. It just ends up making you look like a fool. And we really don’t need that now when we’re supposed to be unified.

          Lol, you’re so full of shit, what a joke. I’m not making an assumption, your refusal to answer IS an answer. You feel free to encourage others to get themselves killed while doing NOTHING yourself.

          Just some friendly advice: everyone can see what’s going on here. Pretending to be too high and mighty to engage in debate is a thin veneer for your clear unwillingess to answer a simple question.
