Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

All of these things are true:

  1. This murder of Salgado is equally evil, and equally important, as the murders of Good and Pretti. His death deserves the same amount of outrage and community response.

  2. My nervous system still feels fried from being constantly activated for several months at the beginning of the year.

  3. I see the incongruence and it's very disturbing to me.

This is probably worse.

The government said they were taking dangerous people off the streets, but in the admittedly small amount of coverage I've seen there's no dispute that he was a hard worker with no criminal background, killed on his way to work. With Good and Pretti, ICE can argue that these people were agitators or something and pretend that justifies killing them, but somebody driving their car to work is not trying to instigate anything.

You can assume that the statements given by ICE are false since they've falsified their reports of every other high profile murder, and even used this line about trying to use the vehicle as a weapon before in cases where that clearly was not what happened.

You may also assume that given in previous murders there are body camera and vehicle camera and even cell phone camera footage recorded and released by ICE that there is most likely camera footage from this murder as well and ICE has chosen not to release it because not even their supporters would like it.

ICE are terrorists and not the good kind like ANTIFA.

Link is not broken for me. The redirect picks up a gift token which makes access free for people with JavaScript enabled

America is a lost cause, time to take off and nuke the site from orbit, only way to be sure.
