The Minnesota ICE Shooting: Lesbian Poet, Daycare Fraud, and a Six-Year-Old's Verdict
from ICE In Minnesota & Venezuela Without Maduro | The Tim Dillon Show #478 · #478
12 min
Tim recounts the Minneapolis ICE shooting of a woman (a 'lesbian poet') during a federal daycare fraud investigation involving Somali-run daycares, riffs on ICE recruits being unqualified, then stages a bit where he shows the shooting video to children (including a six-year-old at Cheesecake Factory) to get an unbiased read, concluding the shooting wasn't justified.
- A lesbian poet in her car is at the center of the Minnesota ICE shooting story.
- Tim on ICE agents: people who answered Craigslist ads and couldn't even work mall security.
- Federal investigation into Somali-run daycares in Minnesota led to increased ICE presence in the area.
- Tim has no idea what Somali names are and references only Moadu from Blackhawk Down.
- Immigrant groups committing fraud is nothing new—Italians had the mafia, Irish had drunk violence.
- A lesbian poet and ICE agents together would be the worst possible mix at any party.
- Tim believes the country needs a border and that open borders don't work, but ICE raids are performative and cruel.
- He shows controversial videos to children under age ten to get unbiased takes on incidents like this shooting.
- Tim showed the Minnesota shooting video to his five-year-old godson to bypass adult political bias.
- A six-year-old at Cheesecake Factory delivered a perfectly reasoned analysis: the officer's life wasn't in danger enough to justify shooting the woman three times.
- Everyone in the country now has a political identity, making them uninteresting and biased on facts.
- People are justifiably angry at police use of force, but you won't get a murder conviction in cases like this.
