    No one has ever accused them of thinking through their actions, but if ICE is going to just murder people and try to get away with it by accusing everyone in a vehicle of attempting to run them over… they’re just going to encourage people to run them over so they even have a chance to live, right? They’re actively incentivizing it.

      Sounds like he was trying to hire day-laborers early am. Scant on details, they’re looking for more witnesses/footage. Calls for independent investigation.

      Not like the same did any good for Renee Good

      A healthcare CEO is killed. Nothing happens. A fraud is convicted and made president with clear ties to some fucked up sex circle that hungers on power and money. Nothing happens. ICE shoots people. Nothing happens. The world is boiling because of climate change. Nothing happens. At this point I’m just here to watch the downward spiral. People don’t care enough to take action and they just let things happen. They’ll say: oh that’s so bad. But won’t take action. We should stand together and make the world a better place. Yes that requires effort, shocker. /rant

        I disagree with your post fundamentally. You say nothing happens and no one does anything, but I argue people are actively and willfully supporting and enabling and maintaining the status quo that leads to all these abominations and horrible disasters.

        It isn’t apathy. It’s willful weaponized evil and ignorance and corruption and greed and selfishness and on and on. It’s an entire political party/movement that celebrates ignorance and hate and racism and lies and fear and pure evil.

          Apologies. I meant that nothing happens to fight it. I thought that’d seem clear from my standpoint but I could’ve been clearer. So I don’t think you disagree but misunderstood :)

        It seems like Americans have been living in a cave or something.

        National Guardsmen slaughtered students singing songs at Kent State and UNM in 1970, some were bayoneted. No one was held accountable, leadership was promoted.

        20 years from now , you guys will be electing ex-ICE thugs as Senators and Congressmen. Yes you will. Ronald Reagan sicked the army on Berkely students and then they all elected him POTUS when they got rich later in life.

          While Europe is doing better I think we’re still bootlickers of the US. Also we need to get the entire world on board. No one has been able to explain to me how someone can have a private jet, 8 houses, 432 cars and a horse while millions are starving.

            Try singing it to ICE officers and you’ll get shot.

            Government will never charge ICE or others for their crimes because government needs thugs that they can guarantee impunity. Same reason January 6th seditionists were pardoned, Trump needs them soon.

        The Oligarch orchestrated division, debt slavery and almost complete state media takeover is working full stop. This has been the plan since 80s and it’s been fully implemented.
