What a crock of shit

When ICE agents murder people, nothing happens to them.

When people protest against ICE, they go to prison for 30+ years.

That says everything you need to know about the fascist dictatorship that's overthrown the US.

One guy shot a cop. He should be in prison jail.

The others were just nearby. "Terrorist conspiracy" even though there was no conspiracy.

A cop or an ice? Was that ice drawing a gun to make some fresh kills? Sounds like self defense.

Shooting any voluntary representative of our legal system is at worst morally neutral, our cops belong in prison

Absolute tyranny and fascism. The texas courts completely ignored normal procedure and the prosecution used lies and misinformation to get a conviction.

Hopefully they all win their appeals. Fuck trump and his corrupt regime.

The cop who showed up and immediately drew his firearm intending to kill people posing no real threat, based solely on lies from the feds, without any actual evidence of a life or death crime occurring?

FAFO. Cops should be afraid to threaten citizens exercising their rights, the fact that they aren't is how we ended up in this mess. Maybe that dumb fucker will have an epiphany sitting in the ICU and realize he's fighting for the wrong team and he's one wrong move away from being worm food, but I doubt it. We select them for stupidity and blind subservience in the US, after all.

immediately drew his firearm

I haven't seen this one. Clearly that guy should get a fair trial.

The rest had no involvement. It's just retaliatory for being "leftists". (Not that you should need to be a leftist to protest ICE.)

It’s likely only going to get worse.

Throughout my life, much of the media that I’ve consumed has taught me one thing: people always underestimate what their oppressors are capable of.

But its still fine for me to call the cops on my neighbor when she's being loud at 2 am, right?

Okay but what if all that and all the history those writers were basing it on was totally wrong and everything's fine and we can just stay inside.

Absolutely. Anyone who shoots a Nazi pedophile who might kill any of us at any moment for any reason or none at all should be in prison.

Nazi pedophiles who steal half if every dollar you pay in taxes to rape children poison your land and water with chemical weapons and traffic massive amounts of drugs into your community, which they might occasionally just blow up if it gets too rowdy or see like a fun thing to do and who can't cum without murdering a dog must be protected. Anyone who says a bad word about them should be drawn and quartered.

Unrelated, have you stopped beating your wife? If so, how's stalking your ex wife going? Got a plan how to kill the bitch yet?

"It can't happen here!"

Oh yes it can. And it does. And it will.

One of the darkest moments of my life honestly, this is incredibly alarming as someone living in the US.

Why would rightwing people protest ICE?

This is precisely the violence the rightwing in the US has always wanted, rightwing people protesting ICE is like someone protesting their own birthday party.

The rightwing wants people to die in large amounts, it is the only consistent underpinning of rightwing ideology.
