In this episode of The 3 Guy Podcast, Reuel Sample, Ben Schachtman, and Nick Craig unpack the Minneapolis shooting of Alex Priddy during an ICE operation and how it became a national Rorschach test for the Trump administration. They dissect “stupid on both sides,” including calling a freshly killed man a “domestic terrorist,” activists showing up armed, and mayors posturing on TV while refusing to cooperate with federal immigration law. They argue for letting real investigations play out, question ICE’s quasi‑paramilitary tactics and quota-driven enforcement, and wrestle with how much leeway armed agents should have when lethal force is used in chaotic protests.​

The conversation pivots to how this national story bleeds into New Hanover County, highlighting a controversy over a school-board attorney who shared an offensive Roy Cooper meme, deleted it, and apologized—only to become the target of intense backlash. The hosts hammer the school board’s dysfunction, apparent double standards compared to district employees who posted ugly comments after the Charlie Kirk shooting, and the media’s role in framing who gets canceled and who is quietly protected. They close by stressing that public figures are never really “off the clock” on social media, debating whether there is any consistent standard or grace in modern cancel culture, and previewing coming political fights from government shutdown drama to local DA and sheriff races.
