It should be legal to shoot ice agents, on duty or off, particularly if they, as usual, are masked and not following police procedures. And if the man was afraid for his life, as he definitely should have been if an ice agent was involved, the precedent set by multiple high profile recent cases in other states is that it was legal. I hope that jury finds the same.
It’s happening in Germany. It’s happening in France. It’s happening in Australia and Canada and Italy and Japan and pretty much everywhere. Somehow, in spite of a proven record of failure and catastrophic consequences, right wing ideology continues to grow like a cancer across the globe.
The US got to this point with help from foreign billionaires, as well as domestic ones. Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Sundar Pichai… The grift is global and putting your vitriol toward those who might take your side will leave you friendless when it happens to you where you live.

He was medically a moron before he had a small stroke. Now he shits himself constantly, can’t remember which country ending in N he started a war with, and can’t name the president of the United States as far back as 2025. If it wasn’t for Steven Miller animating his corpse, he’d be in a burn pit under 6’ of effluent already.
Just don’t go

I appreciate your sentiment against violence more than the community at large.
