DHS secretary is calling this "domestic terrorism"... unbelievable. Everyone in the administration needs to be put on trial just like the Nazis in Nuremburg.
Also remember the rights reaction to Babbit (an insurrectionist) being shot at the J6 riot. She was a patriot hero for delaying election certification but people resisting ICE goons are domestic terrorists.
- DustinEchoes 10mo ago> DHS secretary is calling this "domestic terrorism" I agree, probably not in the way she intended though.
- anigbrowl 10mo agoAlso remember the rights reaction to Babbit (an insurrectionist) being shot at the J6 riot. That's official government policy now. It's worth taking a few minutes to look at that whole page, it's straight 1984 type revisionism. https://www.whitehouse.gov/j6/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/j6/

- Schmerika 10mo agoNo, the entirety of ICE does. This incident is just the latest in a long series. This unaccountable Gestapo analogue have, for example, been shown - in Congress - to be raping a whole lot of people. 'Losing' kids. Performing life-altering medical procedures without consent. It's also worth pointing out that 'both' parties have raised ICE's budget every single year since their creation, including after the above reports were delivered.

- kccoder 10mo agoHow about we prosecute all the criminals in this administration committing all the crimes? It shouldn't be surprising that people are more concerned about a US citizen being gunned down in the states than some Venezuelan fishermen.
- SanjayMehta 10mo agoFrom an outsider's perspective, the hypocrisy is what jumps out. Every US regime behaves this way: gunboat diplomacy goes back to the days of the banana republics, it was the United Fruit Company then, and oil today. Fact is the US is run by oligarchs. Peace presidents from Nixon onwards are just fronts for corporate interests. JFK was probably the only sane president since Roosevelt. Edit: replaced correct term with "peace presidents."
- metadope 10mo agoWatching an innocent and beautiful American woman being shot in the face three times at point blank range in broad daylight by an agent of her own federal government while sitting in the cocoon of her car, in a confrontation that could easily have been avoided if the federal agents had simply waved her on through... this is more than "a domestic crime", as you put it. You may forget that the US drone strikes on alleged drug smuggling boats are still an open question and an ongoing story. The video evidence is scant, the scandal is real, but we still don't know the details. Who were those fishermen, who will tell their stories? How we learn more about what was real? The kidnapping of the Maduro couple is another act that is related and still developing. In both of these cases, the events are distant and nebulous, uncertain as to where they land on a spectrum of good and evil. But this murder of an American citizen in a senseless act of violence by its government is felt deeply because it is immediate and well-documented, highly visible and tragic, with hardly any of the uncertainties that distance from those other events bring.
