.......all turned on their heels and moved away from the scene of the crime, as if to say "I want no part of this fuck-up" ?

and when he saw she was good and dead he casually walked back to his vehicle.
No alarm. No sense of urgency. No sign of concern for a human being.
These people were hired for this very purpose -- intimidation, violence, cruelty, and
having no qualms about harming -- or killing -- a few brown people and liberals.
I was a psychiatric nurse. If I had acted the way this ICE thug did when intervening with
a violent patient, I would have been fired. None of them did anything to deescalate the situation.
Rushing to the door of her car and trying to forcibly open the door to drag her out inflamed tensions.
Fight or flight. She tried to flee. The shooter overreacted and showed his impatience and anger.
He is unfit for law enforcement work, BUT he is perfect for this job.
The only thing missing is the armband and jackboots.

(3,128 posts)This is a flat-out fascist administration. It is led by lying perpetrators of the murder of citizens of the United States, of the beating of citizens of the United States, of jailing and disappearing citizens of the United States. These "men" will never face justice. That $50,000 may well be replaced by another $50,000 as a bonus because of the murder.
Bounty on the heads of American citizens, anyone? Not specific citizens, mind you. Just citizens.
And Fox "entertainment journalists" like Smirky Watters will get yet another raise from Rupert for being an insensitive mofo.
And the whole damned mob of unAmerican fascist supporting dribble-heads known as MAGA will drool onto their weak chins and burst into laughter next time ICE attacks and physically harms an American citizen -- oh, hell, it just happened again in Mpls where the masked and uniformed thugs attacked people on the grounds of a school they were raiding, both to catch and torture some brown people and for the pure and simple fun of starting a confrontation so they could use their gas and clubs --- and then go back to barracks with stiffies over some old guy or woman they'd beaten bloody.
No. None of these subhuman agents of a subhuman President will ever need to hire an attorney to defend them in court for the kinds of crimes they were hired to commit. They will be rewarded. I expect the plaque the nazi-bastards in the Republican House refuse to display in honor of the courage and pain suffered by the Capitol Police on January 6 will be replaced by one "honoring" these storm-trooping morons of ICE. Plaited in gold, of course.
(Sorry for the rant. I've seen too much in life not to become outraged by the ugly cloud that Trump and Miller have hanging over America -- and how easily millions of Americans have praised that cloud as sunshine.)

How has thinking negatively impacted your life?
Anyone who has mastered the anti-skill must be in the throes of depression.
Apparently you did not see underpantss post yesterday which quoted 2 attorneys as saying there is not much of a defense. It was not an obscure post. It was on the home page for quite a while.
I truly feel for you. You are deserving of pity. I do, however, think you should consider others when you descend to the pits. Youre not doing anyone any favors by letting us know your doomscrolling is out of control.
Go watch Heather Cox Richardson. She does not share your views nor do any other credible commentators.

(718 posts)And how will you prove not only who they are but who shot the woman? These thugs are covered from facial identification and they don't have any markings to prove who they are. I have always believed not only are these white supremist that the orange man with the blond squirl on his head hired but they are also thugs from Xe (who used to be blackwater). And that's why they don't show any respect for following the law because they feel like the law doesn't pertain to them. These mercenaries do the same thing where ever they are hired and they are hired to act the same way they are acting here in the USA. blackwater knows they are going to be sued for the animals they gave a gun to and who have been harassing American Citizens. That is why xe is moving their finances overseas in hope of getting away from American Justice.

Snoopy 7
(718 posts)they did identify the killer. I wonder how(?) and did the administration "throw him under the bus" before the kash patel and kristi nome find him innocent. After all they are not going to allow any other investigation and they will have all the evidence so how would they charge him and take him to court?

The judge was biased, preventing the prosecution from referring to those murdered as "victims" while allowing the defense to refer to them as "arsonists".
With any other presiding judge, Rittenhouse likely would have been convicted.

Not to mention their drivers skills.... i bet the asshole who shot the innocent woman was the one got stuck in the middle of the roadway to.... he most likely took out his frustration of his incompetence onto an innocent person.

Strelnikov_
(8,108 posts)appeared to restrain a POC ICE'r from either going after the car, or the shooter. They seemed pretty agitated.
Maybe the shooter is a white supremacist, and the POC ICE'r line had been crossed.
Just as not all German soldiers were SS, not all ICE'rs are Nazis.
Look for Miller to form 'Special Action' units if the rank and file start to rumble. Just like the Nazi's did to keep the blatant executions away from the average soldier.
