13. We're at the powder keg stage

I don't live in Minnesota. I'm maybe 1200 miles away. No friends there, no family, never set foot in the state, and I'm in a state of rage and disbelief over what happened there.

So, factor in the people who LIVE in that community, and while Puppy Killer's storm troopers put themselves on the map with intimidation and violence, I don't think they are prepared to deal with the aftermath of one of their own murdering a local in cold blood. An INNOCENT local.

So National Guard, yeah. I hate to say their role would most likely be protecting Noem's goons, but that's what it looks like from my long distance view.

And while that may not settle well with some, I look at it this way. If Walz does call in the National Guard to prevent any violence against ICE, he is also protecting the locals by default. ICE doesn't care about shooting people, for any reason. That's the issue here, that's the "element" that needs to be controlled.
