1. Branch Davidians would never have put up with this much government oversight

Things have sure come full circle.

[snot]

2. I'm guessing we'd have full details if

US authorities weren't at fault.

[StarryNite]

3. Well first they have to create a narrative.

Then they will pass it along and have everybody memorize it and use the talking points they come up with.

[PatSeg]

8. Yeah, we have to give them a few minutes

to get all their stories synchronized.

4. Wonder if any citizens were filming so we get the truth and not a fairy tale.

7. Doubtful. That's lonesome country.

Aint much there but antelope and jackrabbits.

10. And coyotes, don't forget the coyotes, not the ones that bring people across the border,

but the 4 legged coyotes.

[stopdiggin]

11. sounds like this dude might have been one of those .. (coyotes, the human trafficking kind)

we might want to hold off on 'bandwagonning' this particular case/cause - just for a bit anyway.

12. Agreed.

Like I said in another couple of postss, this area of AZ is a known smuggling route and this guy is known to the CBP.

This is, so far, looking nothing like the murders in Minneapolis.

5. this is an area of more "normal" BP activities

pretty rural and a route of travel for migrants and smugglers. I say normal in quotes - part of the massive militarization of the southern border region in the last 2 or 3 decades, both parties. this incident may not be related to the current extreme nazi shit we are seeing the last year or so

[littlemissmartypants]

6. We'll no doubt hear all of the details involving U.S. Border Patrol

Unless...
It was an attempted suicide by a USA DHS/ICE/CBP/ATF/LEO/(PROUD BOY) agent.
