It has leaked that ICE agents are terrified of blowback from this murder: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigration-agents-terrified-by-ice
Yeah of course they're cowards. Keep the pressure on, don't let them sleep at night.
I'm reminded of how justice is served on the ice in a hockey game. If a player executes an illegal, dangerous hit on another player, especially if the victim is the goalie or a star player, and the refs don't call shit, then that guy is about to get his ass beat.
There will be consequences, even if the DoJ refuses to act. The heat is rising on this cold civil war. When trump crowns himself head of the fed and slashes interest rates, and when the dollar crashes soon thereafter, shit's gonna get crazy.
I'm also predicting that somebody high up in this administration refers to America as an "empire" and then a "realm" and possibly just straight up a "reich" within this year.
That seems to be the thing the administration fails to understand, accountability through apparent investigations and prosecutions mollify the anger. Even if consequences are by any reasonable measure are mild, people are still mollified at an acknowledgement of wrong doing. Deny them this, and the anger rises...
Similarly, being able to lose an election has similar value. Your opponents "won" they don't need to extract more out of you. Deny them that and again people are going to potentially break.
Anecdotally, I know of a few people that seem shockingly close to violent uprising that I never would have guessed. I can't imagine the volume of people closer to extreme views and when they will snap..
Turn up the heat, melt the ICE
Amereicha?
Propaganda.
If the family members of a couple of them disappeared maybe they’d be scared. Eye for an eye and all that.
But, I’m not evil like them so.
These people are cowards. They fear more for themselves than their family. I'm not kidding, I know people like this.
I honestly think they are reporting like that to get ICE even more on edge and getting ready to justify them having to go full murder mode.
This is the shit they do with cops. Make sure they are scared and sure everyone is out to get then to make sure they are willing and happy to pull a rifle to an Innocent's head and pull the trigger.
There are a lot more of us than the are of them.
