No, they do t think that ...

It's the lie they're selling to criminalize protests. Biden was supposed to use his majority in the House and Senate to enshrine protections for protestors, but instead he cracked down on the same fucking protestors.

Neoliberals aren't enough to fight fascism, because they're fine with it while they're in charge. And that shit depresses turnout and let's Republicans win elections.

In the case of the alleged Dallas ICE shooter Joshua Jahn, the 29-year-old opened fire on an ICE facility, killing two ICE detainees and wounding a third before taking his own life.

“FBI investigation into the suspected shooter revealed that he expressed anti-ICE sentiments,” the Bulletin says.

While it’s true that bullets recovered from the scene were inscribed with the phrase “anti-ICE” — photos of which FBI Director Kash Patel was quick to post to social media, leading major media to adopt the narrative that this was anti-ICE terrorism — Jahn’s former friends told me he was a largely apolitical troll who they thought just wanted to spread chaos. (His brother has also said Jahn hadn’t had strong feelings about ICE nor politics in general and that he thought the shooting was carried out “indiscriminately.”)

So surprising- and by surprising I mean not surprising whatsoever- that the fact that he wasnt targeting ICE at all never made any followup in the wider media…

I like how they're worried about "violence done to ICE facilities."

Really returning to the roots of policing.

That's because they use protests to enact terrorism. It's always projection.

If protests hide terrorists, then governments hide pedophiles.

[–] RePsyche@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

That’s incorrect. Protests don’t hide terrorists. And governments, in particular this administration, hides and protects pedophiles.

More Kyle Rittenhouses incoming

The protests 'must' be hiding their terrorism, cuz it's certainly not visible.
