Its murder. They all conspired in a murder. Even the president wanted this to happen. Conspiracy to commit ... they didn't care who, so long as the violence ramps up
they wanted to test how far they can take it, so they can go even further. no-riot protest hasnt really solved much
That "I don't care!" is what my kids shout when they realize someone saw them doing something bad and they're angry, sulky, and trying to save face. My kids aren't murdering people though. Unless I just haven't caught them yet.
Wait so she hadn't been shot in the head?
You can be shot in the head and survive. I don't have statistics, but there have been many who have survived.
A 28 year old at close range. A 14 year old. 47 year old. Etc.
The point is that Good had an outside chance and these bastards don't give a shit about people they've shot.
My point is that people were spreading the narrative/rumor that she was shot in the head for some reason. It is possible to be shot in the head and survive, it's not as common as surviving gunshot wounds to extremities or even the chest cavity, especially if first aid and stop the bleed measures are started ASAP.
So for some reason, from the very beginning, there was a miscommunication being spread (whether intentional or not) that her survival was probably less likely than it actually was.
Even if that doctor hadn't been there and hasn't been prevented from helping, it also seems worth asking why all of the ICE agents who were present at the time had been issued fire arms, but none of the dickheads just standing around letting this lady bleed out, had any first aid training?
Seriously none of them? Nobody even had some kind of common sense inkling hat they should probably try to stop the bleeding? Not even the "war veteran" who shot her? Just more weird shit to add to the long list of how/why did shit go down the way it did that day. So many weird things seem like he set out to intentionally murder somebody that day, and not just because her wife had embarrassed him beforehand.
Why did the ICE agent who allegedly had PTSD from being dragged by a car intentionally position himself in front of her car?
Why was his safety already off when he grabbed his gun
Why did he keep his phone in one hand filming while he shooting at a car that was moving towards him?
Did none of the "trained federal agents" really not have any basic first aid training, despite some of them previously seeing combat?
Why did they refuse to let the doctor help her?
Who started the rumor she had been shot in the head?
They probably think first aid is for pussies.
Because they had orders to make an example of one of the vehicle blockers that had been harassing and frustrating them all over the country. They wanted to send a message that the gloves were off.
So who ordered the hit? Noem? PeeWee Himmler? Trump?
Vance? Vought? Who knows. "Just following orders that came from the very top" chain of command game of telephone.
No, all this immigration chaos stuff is all being directed by Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller, with Trump's full approval.
Trump has full immunity for OFFICIAL presidential acts, and ordering the murder of an American citizens to send a message is NOT an official act. Show me where the Constitution outlines that official presidential duty.
No idea but some people have survived holes in their head.
Some reports say she was shot twice in the chest and once in the forearm.
I know deeply how infuriating this was to watch, and I'm pretty sure that as bad as it feels now... things will get worse before they get better, and then when they get better a lot of serious shit is going to happen to every masked asshole in that video.
Either the system will rebound and we will have justice, or the system will NOT rebound and we will go get our justice.
The system has been empowering and looking the other way on right wing terrorist groups for decades. They systematically hunted down the leaders of the civil rights movements, they planted crack in the inner cities….all of our elected representatives send hundreds of billions of dollars to Israel to literally commit a genocide. The citizens of Israel have universal healthcare, free college and monthly payments per child from our tax dollars….our system is not fixable. There’s nothing good to rebound to the genocide is here now
George Floyd showed otherwise tho. We got a conviction IIRC.
which is why they're terrorizing MN. They are undoing the BLM protests.
''if mass protests manage to get any results at all, even on a local level, then this is what will happen to your state.''
IMO the point of the George floydd protests was justice system reform, not a conviction.
Seems like the people have to go bigger then the floydd protests to get that justice system reform we so desperately need.
and Breonna Taylor? we didn't there. and we didn't do anything to reform the system that killed them.
There were no reforms and the mass incarceration system continues to grow beyond anything comparable in any country and these prisons are for profit slave camps and the facist police union stands with the ice Gestapo
There should be a word, and I'm sure it exists in German or something, for when you agree with someone's assertions but simultaneously know for a fact they're just doomer-venting and sound like an edgy teen trying to describe to their mom why they wear black.
These are facts would you like some evidence
I already said I agree with the assertions, I just don't agree with the bleak, hopeless, roll-over-and-expose-belly-for-master resignation. We've struggled through worst in the past, and generally if you look at all metrics, our quality of life and freedom has only increased over the last several centuries and most unrest and destabilization are just the pendulum swinging, but that pendulum doesn't wind down, history shows it gradually moves forward.
We still owe it to the people who will come after us to do all we can, we still can see change in our lifetimes towards better outcomes we can still help push the needle, we can see grand outcomes when we actually try, we can still involve ourselves to the extent of our ability and comfort, and/or we can have individually great experiences and set aside what media shoves in your face all day, learn to diet and just focus on the problems for a certain amount of time every day.
Go socialize, meet people, create love and safety around yourself with others and see sights in the world while you can.
Yes, shit is going to get bad, maybe worse than anything we've seen so far. But the mountain of skulls we live on to have gotten to this next struggle shouldn't be wasted.
I’m an older person. I have a family and friends and I do lots of things but I’ve also seen my friends and family ground up in our system. I agree humans have survived a lot but we really can’t underestimate the dire situation we are in now. We can not allow this genocide to continue on our soil it will only escalate if we don’t stop it.
I don't care in this case is the difference between 2nd degree and 1st degree murder.
