What about Renee Good?! Shouldn't they be demanding investigations into ALL the ICE murders and assorted criminal acts?
i'll bet it's because he had a gun, and 2A tryhards are calling their R reps to complain about the govt smearing him for having a gun
also, maga couldn't care less about women. according to maga, women are barely a step above brown people
Not to mention an openly gay woman
…and all the others murdered by ice, right?
Nah. Border patrol has literally murdered like a hundred people in the last decade and not one of them matters until they decided to shoot a white guy.
There's more to it than that, but let's take it at face value
What does complaining about it do? The majority now cares that ICE is killing people. Do you want people to treat Pretti's killing like all the others?
I don't see how any good can come from complaining that action wasn't taken now that we have a chance for change
No. I want people to treat the hundred brown people they killed like they mattered as much as the one white guy they killed. Weird that is such a foreign concept that its hard for you to grasp that.
The point is that isn't how the world works. You can complain about that all you like but it won't change anything. Accept that reality is what it is and respond accordingly. In this case that means using whatever opening you have to press for change. Telling racists they should care about brown people is obviously not going to work, even if it is true. Pointing out that their policies are killing white people might. This is the basic concept of politics.
I'm not talking to racists, I am talking to people like you that should have cared about it.
You're assuming that I don't. Failing to distinguish between an argument that will land with some people vs one that will land with most people is exactly the problem people are pointing out to you and you're still doing it here.
Hundred? Man you've only been paying attention in the last 24 hours or something.
No, I actually looked it up because I didn't want to say something stupid by just assuming the right number.
What about all the murders by this regime that we probably don't know about? People have been disappeared from the concentration camps
Truth! I want justice for everyone, how many are suffering and dying in the concentration camps? ‘Deported’ to who knows where, and just murdered in the streets. Ice needs to go
More than half dozen. That's a funny way to inflate numbers
NBC is a corpo rag. They will sanewash all GOP depravity.
Yeah, but by using precise language such as 'more than half a dozen' we can deduce that thr amoumt could be as little as half a fortnight and probably less than a football team or they'd have said it was a dozen or more.
Cracking fucking reporting here, eh?
I’d be careful with this. The NRA blamed Walz for essentially inciting the shooting. I don’t have much hope that republicans calling for investigations would not try to spin it to blame democratic officials.
NRA does not like that they killed pretti and are smearing him carrying a gun
If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear
“Our investigation of us by us found we did nothing wrong”
