    Today, there were protests in MN that were blocking egress to the federal Whipple Building, home to the Fort Snelling Immigration Court. So the ICE agents were out.

    MN -- woman shot in face and killed by ICE, Minneapolis, 7 Jan 2026

    Thank you for posting this video. I think the single most important bit of info, from the DHS/ICE manual: "Deadly force may not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect." Nevermind that this woman was not an undocumented immigrant, and was thus not a suspect. It is not okay...

    Austria - Thomas Plamberger leaves gf, Kerstin Gurtner to freeze to death on Austria's tallest mountain - charged with manslaughter - Jan.19/2025

    It has not been mentioned if he had skis or not. There are photos of him climbing that same mountain with skis on his back, and it makes no sense for her to have her split board and for him to not have anything. There has been an information block, set my law enforcement/court, since a few...

    Austria - Thomas Plamberger leaves gf, Kerstin Gurtner to freeze to death on Austria's tallest mountain - charged with manslaughter - Jan.19/2025

    People commonly climb up and ski down the other side once they get to the glacier fields. TP had done this numerous times, climbing up the Studlgrat ridge with skis on his back and then climbing down to the glacier field. This is the very difficult way. Most people take the normal route...

    There were several videos and articles posted upthread with further details and information about things. There are many posts with theories about things. So when you have time, go back a couple pages.

    I also think that in his cold-impacted mind, he had reached out for help to SAR, and when he was told they couldn't come, he tried to get her to go, and then left to "get help." It is possible he just wasn't making good decisions at that point, but was able to still climb up to the peak and...

    Austria - Thomas Plamberger leaves gf, Kerstin Gurtner to freeze to death on Austria's tallest mountain - charged with manslaughter - Jan.19/2025

    Any death on a mountain in Austria (as well as other European countries) is investigated. It is standard protocol. Very few lead to actual charges. From the outset, SAR (Search and Rescue), Police, and mountain experts said that it was important to let the investigation run its course and not...

    Austria - Thomas Plamberger leaves gf, Kerstin Gurtner to freeze to death on Austria's tallest mountain - charged with manslaughter - Jan.19/2025

    After the finds from today, and getting a better sense of the prosecutions view of what happened, this is what I think. TP had a responsibility to make decisions, but he abdicated this responsibility, saying they were equals and he bore no responsibility even though he knew that mountain, knew...

    Posting this video again, as it is the best summary of this case, from the people who know the mountain and who participated in the rescue. Well worth the 8 min, using CC.

    This article has more information from the people who brought down Kerstin's body. Looks like some of the quotes we have seen in other articles originated here. Article from days after the incident...

    As a long-distance bicycle traveler, I agree with everything you've said about eating. We "graze" throughout each day's ride, nibbling something every 30 min. or so, and having more substantial food every 2-3 hours. Eat full meal for breakfast and dinner. I will say that if we got chilled...

    Austria - Thomas Plamberger leaves gf, Kerstin Gurtner to freeze to death on Austria's tallest mountain - charged with manslaughter - Jan.19/2025

    It is worth noting that translation of articles may contribute to misinformation. In this article, both climbers are said to have had skis/snowboards. So all our conjecture about why he didn't have skis may be for naught...
