A 21-year old anti-ICE protester has been left permanently blinded in California after a Department of Homeland Security agent shot him in the face with a nonlethal round at point-blank range on Friday.

Kaden Rummler can be seen on video rushing to help a fellow protester at Civic Center Plaza in Santa Ana before being shot by a federal agent. He crumples to the ground in a heap, covering his face before an officer drags him away by his hoodie. Rummler’s aunt said he was left with a fractured skull and shards of plastic, glass, and metal stuck all throughout his eyes and face, and would have died if not for the six hours of surgery he went through.

“That could have cost him his life,” Jeri Rees told the Los Angeles Times. “But now, for the next six weeks, he can’t sneeze or cough because it could do a lot of damage.… The other officers were mocking him, saying, ‘You’re going to lose your eye.’”

You can clearly see him being shot in the video and the article you didn't read said he was shot.

It just looks like kids trying to make a change by protesting, but not fully grasping the consequences of their actions.

What are you doing to make a change? Are you fine with a pedophile being the president of the country and with public money being used to support the murder of kids in gaza?

This kid is fully aware of the consequences of his action, he fully understand that if nobody does something against these cowards and villains the consequences will be much worst for everyone.

You're right, I thought the officer smacked him in the face, but it was the other ICE agent behind that seem to have shot him with a non-lethal ammo.

But to be clear my views don't align with that of trump, also I am not american. No one can deny the corruption in this administration and the cope for hiding the Epstein case. Republicans don't seem to care unless it's happening in a pizzaria basement.

But I agree with the right on the issue of illegal migration. So I don't think ICE is overstepping here. If people are staying illegally, either change the laws around that or vote for people who won't enforce the laws on this (like the previous administrations). Having schrodinger laws is the worse of both cases.

As far as I see regarding gaza, he played a good role stopping what israel was doing. At least friends from the region were happy for the cease fire to be in place. You guys are too perfectionist hoping for a fair solution in the real world, which doesn't happen often.

And for issues I care about, I vote for the candidate that align with my views and make sure to sign petitions, EU citizens can enact decent amount of change. Not sure how it is in the US, but you have to accept, half your country support the other side.

Former and current US government administration supported the genocide and made it possible in the first place, in case you missed it trump (who's plans are to turn gaza into a resort) was chilling at mara lago with netanyahu at new year.

Again, I think you are missing the point. Palestinians don't care about the long term future (at least on earth they do care about their paradise though), they wanted it to stop. Like yes you're sitting on your couch and rooting against the bad guy, you're not the one moving between camps, scraping for food or hoping your kid doesn't get blown up today.

Yes, Trump is corrupt, so is nearly every politician in their lives. It's how most people in the arab world view their rulers. For them, Trump stopped the bombing.

This is what pisses me off about leftists views in life, it's so unrealistic. Also, I am not a fan of trump, the guy is a putin but much more retarded, at least the democratic guardrails are holding him down (for now). He just made a good move with stopping the whole war there especially compared to biden, and for that I would give him credit. I personally know people living there that celebrated the cease fire.

You do not understand, israel is perpetrating a genocide with the help of US and other states. Israel is bombing gaza and other countries with US assist and weapons. People in gaza aren't just being bombed, they are being shot at and starved to death.
