What's infuriating is that you are acting as an agent of the government, defending their murder of a random citizen, but perceive yourself and frame yourself as a dispassionate observer who's interested in the media dynamics of how different descriptors get attached to people. I don't know if you started off like this, or if you're so deep in DHS propaganda that you can't find your way out, and right now I don't care to find out.

The difference between us that I know exactly what ( and even why ) I advocate for: keeping the system stable.

<< random citizen

She was a not some random citizen; I would have been addressing it differently if that was the case. Now, if you have a stomach for it, we can go over what kind of citizen she was.

  • Sounds like, "What kind of American are you?" from the Jesse Plemmons character in the Alex Garland Civil War movie.

    Shouldn't the fact that ICE shot a woman trying to leave the scene be enough?

      You see what you want to see, which is kinda revealing if you ask me.

      No. It is not enough. Reasonable person would be unlikely to find themselves in that position, which begs a simple question:

      What was her reason for being there?

      If you can answer that, we can start having a conversation. Until then, she is not some rando at the wrong place at the wrong time.
