Dear WLS
Question from Anonymous Coward from California WINNER People are looking at the ICE shooting all wro6vng.
This is not a First Amendment issue. He wasn’t peacefully protesting. There is plenty of video showing him actively blocking ICE vehicles before the shooting. That matters.
This is also not a Second Amendment issue. He wasn’t walking down the street, minding his business, and accidentally flashing a concealed carry gun. He was in direct physical conflict with law enforcement while armed.
According to reporting, he had allegedly been “on duty” the week before, tracking ICE, and had been taken to the ground by agents, injuring his ribs. This time, when he went back “on duty,” he brought a gun.
I understand why people instinctively hesitate to side with federal law enforcement. I really do. But if we’re being honest, this situation demands a clear-eyed assessment—not emotional reflexes or ideological posturing.
If the political alignment were reversed—if this were someone at a protest you agreed with—would you still argue the outcome was justified? In this case, my answer is still yes, the individual was at fault, regardless of ideology.
As gun owners, we talk constantly about personal responsibility. That responsibility includes knowing what situations you do not escalate, especially when armed.
A fight you cannot win is a fight against law enforcement officers when you are carrying a firearm. The moment you insert yourself into a physical confrontation with LEOs while armed, you are the one escalating the situation. Everyone knows this. This is not new.
You are not going to win a solo fight against law enforcement. Period.
Question from Jaqin Ta’Sox from Connecticut From; Jaqin Ta’Sox: Dear WLS
Man. Sorry. The 646 episode got me fired up. In regards to Nick at time stamp 108 minutes. ICE doesn’t need warrants to arrest illegal immigrants, because all of the people they are looking for are here illegally and 100% have another type of Law Enforcement Interaction (dwi, domestic violence, etc.) The illegals that don’t have other Law Enforcement Interaction are usually collateral arrests, because ICE goes looking for 1 and find 12 together. As far as the US Citizens that interact with ICE, yes they are 99% detained and released upon verification of status. The 1% that are arrested/hurt are the people who escalate the Interaction instead of cooperating, like Jeremy said.
