from Google AI:
The "Red Wedding" refers to a shocking massacre in Game of Thrones where Robb Stark, his mother Catelyn, and his army were betrayed and slaughtered at a wedding feast by their supposed allies, the Freys and Boltons, orchestrated by Tywin Lannister, violating sacred guest right for revenge and to end the Stark rebellion. The term signifies any event where a celebration turns into bloody betrayal, referencing the "red" of blood spilled amidst supposed feasting and unity, and also has historical roots in real massacres like Scotland's "Black Dinner".
Key Aspects of the Red Wedding:
- The Betrayal: Lord Walder Frey, angered by Robb Stark breaking a marriage pact, orchestrated the attack with Roose Bolton and Tywin Lannister's backing.
- The Violation: It brutally broke "guest right," a sacred custom of hospitality, turning a wedding meant for unity into a scene of horrific slaughter.
- The Victims: Robb Stark, his mother Catelyn, his pregnant wife Talisa, and most of his Northern forces were killed.
- The Symbolism: The name "Red Wedding" symbolizes the shocking contrast between a wedding's joy and the ensuing bloodshed, with "red" representing blood.
Inspiration & Broader Meaning:
- Historical Basis: Author George R.R. Martin drew inspiration from real historical events, particularly the Black Dinner (1440) and the Massacre of Glencoe (1692) in Scotland.
- Figurative Use: The term is now used more broadly to describe any situation involving unexpected, brutal betrayal, carnage, or a massacre disguised as something festive or peaceful.
Another night. Another confrontation. Another Tragic Outcome. Another life lost because someone decided to resist law enforcement instead of complying and living to fight their case in court. When will these people wake up and see what is really going on, and what is really the problem! And when will the people of Minnesota understand that ICE is getting RID of the “BAD” people the people who are Criminals, the people who are Murderers, and Rapists, and who are stealing from your stores, and selling Drugs to your citizens and are Killing them from the sale of these Drugs? The people from ICE are not your Enemies! They are doing their job, the Job to Protect you from the people that you are Protesting FOR! While the precise second-by-second details of the Minneapolis shooting are still being debated, one fact remains stubbornly unfashionable to say out loud: the perpetrator was not an innocent bystander. He chose to interfere, to resist, and to escalate a volatile situation involving armed officers operating in a city already teetering on the edge of chaos.
ReplyDeleteThis wasn’t a peaceful misunderstanding. This was a conscious decision to challenge authority in the middle of an enforcement action. Actions have consequences, and pretending otherwise is how Minneapolis ended up here in the first place.
What we’re watching in Minneapolis isn’t organic outrage or spontaneous civic engagement. It’s a well-funded, well-coordinated insurrection against governmental authority, carried out under the warm rhetorical blanket of “social justice.” Activist networks, political operatives, and ideologically captured officials have combined to create a hostile operating environment where law enforcement is deliberately restrained
If leadership cannot or will not act decisively, then leadership must change. Attorney General Pam Bondi and a Justice Department that confuses optics with outcomes are worse than useless—they’re dangerous. FBI Director Kash Patel, more interested in media tours than institutional repair, signals to radicals that the adults have left the room.
Your Governor Tim Walz and your Mayor Jacob Frey didn’t just “fail” to control the streets. They actively constrained law enforcement while legitimizing street-level resistance. That combination is toxic. When police are told to stand down, and mobs are told to stand up, the result is predictable disorder. Your leaders have it backwards!
You don’t see this level of sustained chaos in states where laws are enforced, deportations are carried out, and officials don’t flirt with insurrectionary rhetoric
. Having political agitators screaming at police officers and interfering with their legal investigations with blow horn Interfering with legal law-enforcement actions is a very bad idea. ..
DeleteThe Minnesota ICE Watch group of which slain Minneapolis protester Renee Good was a member shared a detailed manual providing instructions on fighting police officers to free arrested radicals from their grasp was, and is wrong, And these is no doubt that Renee Good made some bad choices,.
This ain’t the party of Bill Clinton let alone JFK, or even Harry Truman. The anti LE narrative is a disaster for Democrats and it has to stop. One wonders perhaps who is behind this anti LE? is this some kind of a foreign operation or outside force. Because it’s bad for the two party system, And this might not even be a majority of the left-wing, but it is certainly a very loud and abusive portion of them. To them LE is randomly attacking people because of how they look or their political affiliation. The fact is LE is doing their job and that includes ICE. Have mistakes been made yes law-enforcement, including immigration enforcement has been making mistakes since they’re founding It’s called human error. But overwhelmingly most are doing the job correct.
The men and women of law-enforcement are black, white, Latino , Christian, Muslim, Jewish you name it from all sorts of backgrounds. And they are being horribly mistreated by the media along with their Democrat politician supporters. This is what cost Democrats in 2024 ie the BLM mindset… the lies about police and lying about people being racist…. Having political agitators screaming at police officers and interfering with their legal investigations with blow horn and physically interfering with legal law-enforcement actions that go back decades.. Hoping to cause a problem and get media coverage.

revolutionaries have always been dangerous towards law enforcement and their political opponents.
Democrats have been calling for violent resistance for sometime now. They contributed to this woman's death and not the President, and certainly not the fault of the people from ICS. The Men from Ice are only there to defuse what is going on there, and the Mayor, and Governor are only making things harder for them

ReplyDeleteI can't say I know what this post is about, given that you didn't say. You only pasted in some info about a fictional wedding that went wrong. I must be less interested in what is going on politically in China than you. Even though you say the "donroe doctrine" means the US doesn't meddle in the eastern hemisphere. Yet you follow China and rightturd politics in Europe bigly.
ReplyDeletebtw, it seems that a White man being shot in MN made a difference. When the victim is a dyke she gets her name dragged through the mud. That might be why you have written no post calling Alex Pretti a "domestic terrorist". donald is refusing to say he is.
Would you have been more interested if DJT had had the Joint Chiefs assassinated?
DeleteThis may have been the Chinese equivalent.
DeleteChina is in the Eastern hemisphere, which isn't in the US "sphere of influence". I'm more interested in the fact that donald trump has ordered the assassination of fishermen off the coast of Venezuela and American citizens by the White Supremacist terrorist organization called ICE.
DeleteI just heard on the news that DHS posted a recruitment ad on Instagram proclaiming "we’ll have our home again", which is a song popularized in neo-Nazi spaces and used in white nationalist calls for a race war.
Though you will likely insist this is an example of "race non-essentialism"🙄🙄🙄
Nope. National Essentialism (vs immigrants from other nations). aka: Nativism.
DeleteThe Irish were white too...
DeleteSounds to me that you just confirmed that maga is a White Supremacist movement. Which I already knew. But you confirmed it by excusing the use of a White Supremacist slogan. Me, I'd be troubled if members of my movement were using White Supremacist rhetoric. But you're fine with it.
Delete"we’ll have our home again", which is a song popularized in neo-Nazi spaces and used in white nationalist calls for a race war.
That is White Supremacists, not "National Essentialists". The song was chosen and used ON PURPOSE. Because the administration is White Supremacist. That's the Occam's Razor explanation.
You must be waiting for donald trump to tell you what to think about the murder of Alex Pretti. That would explain why you refuse to say anything. donald said they would look into it. Now you're worried that saying something now might contradict what donald trump says later.
DeleteWhen or Will the Liberals/Progressives Ever Learn: Don’t Interfere With Law Enforcement—or Tragedy that Usually Follows? It’s the The Same Old Lesson Is Ignored Over, andOner and Again, and Again. The Outcome is Always the Same. Another Confrontation Turns Deadly, and the Same Chorus Rises: Outrage First, Facts Later. The Alex Pretti case in Minnesota is being spun into a “Morality Stage-play about “State Violence,” but the uncomfortable truth is simpler and far less ideological. When you Confront Law Enforcement in the middle of an arrest, Refuse commands, fight officers, and do so while armed, you are just as well be gambling with your life. This is not controversial. It is reality.
ReplyDeleteYou can chant slogans, sing songs, hold up signs all day long, but gravity doesn’t care. Neither does a chaotic arrest scene where officers are making split-second decisions under stress, with all kinds of noise, confusion, and threats, the outcome is always the same!
Pretti unlawfully interfered with a police action. He involved himself in the arrest of a woman in a white coat. A CBP officer shoved him back. Instead of disengaging, Pretti made physical contact with that officer. That alone crosses into federal felony territory.
From there, the situation spiraled. Alex Pretti appeared to be under arrest. He did not comply. He fought officers. During the struggle, officers discovered he was armed. You can hear the panic in the calls: “Gun, Gun, Gun.” An officer removes the weapon as ALEX Pretti remains noncompliant.
Then comes the moment that changes everything. A gunshot is heard. Alex Pretti’s right hand comes up from his waistline, holding a black object. In that instant, no officer on Earth is obligated to pause and debate intent. Any objective officer would reasonably fear for his life and seek to neutralize the threat. Reasonable, But Not Perfect!
The law does not require the police to make perfect decisions. It requires reasonable ones based on exigent circumstances. Exigent means unfolding, dangerous, and irreversible in seconds. A suspect who has already fought officers, has already been armed, and then reaches toward his waist with an unknown object is not owed the benefit of hindsight.
And Bingo! A man is Dead!
In regards to Steve's moronic comment, obviously, to ICE, "noncompliant" means living. At least when a White Supremacist ICE terrorist gets angry. Then "noncompliant" means not dead. Alex Pretti was 100 percent subdued and the gun removed from his possession. THEN he was murdered by 2 ICE terrorists who shot him in the back.
Delete"Alex Pretti’s right hand comes up from his waistline, holding a black object" is FALSE. He never had his gun in his hand. He was holding his phone and recording. He wasn't still holding his phone when he was subdued on the ground. You are full of sh!t, "Steve".
