That driver should have been shot 10 times in the face. In self defense, of course. And then denied care.

If we have already established that a "terrorist" driving in your general direction is grounds for using such violence, why doesn't it apply to everyone?

Because that's not how fascism works

Context: it happened at the fence of the facility and the cars were driving out of it, so there's no doubt these are ICE.

“We began to see ICE lining up behind the gates,” said Birdie Green, co-founder of Sussex Visibility Brigade and one of the organizers of the event. “That’s when GEO Group employees began driving through in their personal vehicles.”

Green said the woman, who she said is from Minnesota, was hit from behind by an employee’s car.

“She was not blocking vehicles, and could not see it coming,” Green said.

Soon after, ICE agents came outside and deployed pepper spray and mace, Green said.

How is there no coverage for this? I found one other article that stated the victim 'didn't seek medical care' but nothing on her name. 0 information on the perpetrator beyond it was a GEO employee. Like they have to know who did this, why is there nothing on charges?

I read in another thread that it was a prison employee

the victim ‘didn’t seek medical care’

What sort of argument is this supposed to be from the journalist who wrote it? That socialized healthcare is really non-existent and for-profit healthcare prohibitively (literally) expensive?

Also, it appears to be not true: the above article states that "The protester was transported to University Hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries, according to Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda."

There's a driver that needs charges brought against them

Ugh, this breaks my heart. How can can someone be so evil?

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 hours ago

Hoo boy don't look into how much more evil they get, it'll break your faith in humanity

Remember, this happened in front of a legal concentration camp.

Best I can tell it starts with a biased education that focuses on everything but education, then consussions, those are important. Lots of concussions. Add relatively untested chemicals. Then tell them they're very special little boys and everyone else deserves to die painfully.
