On one hand they are complaining about an invasion of jack-booted thugs, and on the other hand they get in their faces blowing whistles and hurling whatever they can at them.
Me thinks the people involved here aren't the brightest. On one hand you have federal agents trying to do their job (which doesn't involve them), and on the other hand you have people with no jobs trying to aggravate and harass them.
Alex Pretti had a job, and a very difficult job at that, as an ICU nurse at a veterans facility, and he was evidently very good at it. I don’t know where you are coming off saying these people have no jobs. You have no idea what their employment, or lack there-of is.
Twist this story any way you like, but the video’s are telling a much different narrative than what the government is telling. There are many demonstrable lies being told by the government, and the public is not buying into it.
They are in deep chit and apparently without an acceptable off ramp.

**Even scarier. Showing up at a "peaceful" insurrection loaded up for "trouble" they are causing. Smart. Maybe book, but indoctrinated and late stage TDS.
I will say it again. These sick folks walk among us with a TDS ideology. Be careful.**

Sure we do, they are "rent an agitator" for the day. Technically paid, so yes, they have some sort of an income.
“Relying on a single news organization as a primary information source can significantly alter a person’s perception of reality, mental health, and social interactions. In 2026, research continues to show that a one-sided news diet creates a cycle of reinforcement that is difficult to break.
The effects of a single-source news diet include:
1. Psychological and Mental Health Impacts [LIST] [*]Heightened Stress and Anxiety: Frequent consumption of distressing news—common in 24-hour news cycles—triggers the body's "fight or flight" response, releasing adrenaline and cortisol. [*]Headline Anxiety: Constant exposure to a single narrative can lead to "headline stress disorder," characterized by emotional exhaustion and difficulty disengaging from negative content. [*]Distorted Reality: Repeatedly viewing narrow coverage, such as a focus on crime or specific crises, leads to a "cultivation effect" where the person perceives the world as more dangerous than it objectively is. [*]Reduced Loneliness but Increased Stress: Recent studies in 2026 found that while engaging with a news community can reduce loneliness through shared attention, it simultaneously increases depression and stress levels. [/LIST]
2. Cognitive Bias and the "Echo Chamber" [LIST] [*]Confirmation Bias: A single source reinforces a person's existing beliefs, making them less likely to challenge their own views or consider alternatives. [*]Filter Bubbles: Relying on one outlet (especially through its social media presence) locks a person into a "filter bubble," where algorithms prioritize similar content and hide dissenting opinions. [*]Resistance to Corrections: People in deep "echo chambers" are significantly less likely to interact with or believe fact-checks that contradict their primary news source. [/LIST]
3. Societal and Political Consequences [LIST] [*]Increased Polarization: A one-sided media diet is a primary driver of political polarization. Consuming partisan news pulls a person’s attitudes in that direction over time, sharpening social divides. [*]Negative View of "Outgroups": Partisan media often weaponizes differences, leading consumers to view those with opposing views as threats rather than fellow citizens with different perspectives. [*]Erosion of Trust: Long-term exposure to partisan news can cause a lasting decrease in trust in mainstream media and other traditional institutions. [/LIST]
4. Vulnerability to Misinformation [LIST] [*]Limited Verification: Without multiple sources for comparison, a person is less likely to detect when information has been fabricated, exaggerated, or taken out of context. [*]Heuristic Processing: Consumers of single sources often rely on "familiarity" or "emotional appeal" to judge truth, rather than active fact-checking. [/LIST] To mitigate these effects, experts recommend a "balanced news diet" by intentionally following varied outlets and verifying information through resources like the AllSides Media Bias Chart or Poynter's Fact-Checking tools”

Sounds like our very own left activists. Go ask the peaceful protesters and the TDS victims. :ROFLMAO:
Federal officials say violent [[U]unrest in Minneapolis[/U]]('https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/minneapolis-st-paul') directly derailed one immigration arrest last week, leaving an ICE agent permanently maimed after a protester bit off part of his finger.
