- pkaye 5y agoThat is because the shooter was a border patrol agent and they get qualified immunity.
- trasz 5y agoAgain, this is something that only happens one way: if any other country was arbitrarily claiming immunity for their agent who murdered someone in the US, like the US did here, the US would carpet bomb them. The morally correct way would be probably to go full Mossad and either kidnap, or disappear the perpetrator, but that can’t happen for political reasons. Same reason why Blackwater terrorists avoid consequences.
