Oh yeah. I had Americunts fuming and frothing at the suggestion that they only started taking ICE committed atrocities seriously after a white American citizen was shot in the face.

"B-b-buT...."

NOT a single one admitted racism being the issue.

Anyway, it's good that they're doing something now at least.

That's the way it always seems to work. Watch how fast gun legislation gets put through when a politician's kid gets caught up in a school shooting.

Watch how fast the conversation changes when the protests aren't just "radical extremists from the left".

What's that line? "Soon, they will have been against this all along..."
