Please don't censor the quote. We don't censor our president when he says something offensive then we shouldn't censor a mayor who is only saying what we are all thinking.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 32 points 5 days ago

I didn't write the title.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

And it's "kills" IMO.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem characterized the driver's actions as an "act of domestic terrorism."

Holy shit what a stretch. These ~~people~~ are ghouls without conscience. They’re subhuman.

I see they’re trying to make “domestic terrorism” into a meaningless word like “antifa,” too, since most U.S. domestic terrorism is perpetrated by fans of theirs.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 37 points 5 days ago

Funny, because I consider ICE's behaviour to be domestic terrorism.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 24 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

What I see in the video is a person running scared of a bunch of menacing masked, armed goons.

It's not domestic terrorism, it's called a flight reflex.

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 9 points 5 days ago

Yes! Exactly!!

If someone is pointing a weapon at me with literally no authority, it’s self defense to try and run away.

It’s not hard. This is cold blooded murder.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 13 points 5 days ago

These people are ghouls without conscience. They’re subhuman.

Well they're fascists. Did you think they'd be nicer than the ones 90 years ago?

Yes, that’s exactly what they are doing, because if they do, you lose all your rights as a person. They absolutely want to paint their ‘enemies’ as terrorists.

[–] Feyd@programming.dev 7 points 5 days ago

We are all domestic terrorists

And Ashley Babbit was killed while on walking tour of the capital on January 6th.

[–] Guthix@midwest.social 37 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Murder. No question about it. Poor little crybaby bitch ICE agent couldn't handle being told no by a woman. Minnesota is about to ACTUALLY riot and show them what it actually looks like. Are people forgetting what happened in 2020 in Minneapolis?

[–] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 29 points 5 days ago (2 children)

If the choice is get murdered complying or get murdered resisting, I know which one I'll take.

[–] Sunshine@piefed.ca 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Fascists will murder those who do nothing too.

[–] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

All the more reason to act. If any course of action, including inaction, results in your murder, then you have no reason not to.

suicide. live free or die

Non-voting deadweights of America, go and explain to that woman's family how bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe, how THEIR tragedy is a sacrifice YOU are willing to make for the sake of your lily-white purity.

Non-voting deadweights of America: this blood is on your already blood-soaked hands. You must be very proud of your spiritual superiority, lol, amirite?

[–] 7toed@midwest.social 15 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Genuinely - as I'm an outstanding citizen by your metric - what does your comment intend to accomplish other than illicit your own sense of superiority while literally accomplishing nothing? No commentary to the matter, no recourse how to engage with whom you describe as the absolute enemy, just infighting bait. If this is how you engage with family and friends on these issues.. you've likely done more damage.

I really should just be writing off these comments as bot replies at this point.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

STFU. Now is no time for debate or kind words trying to educate the shitheads.

This is MURDER and nothing else... Trump, MAGA, ICE should be VILIFIED at every chance.

[–] KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Shame is a form of punishment. Everyone loves to get off on their high horse about how positive punishment is unproductive and reform should be constructive yada yada. This middle of the road shit is exactly how we ended up with centrists.

We need to bring equality back to punishment. I'm tired of seeing cops kill people and get put on leave like it's a private work blunder. I'm tired of hearing about politicians ignoring judicial orders and having absolutely no repercussions whatsoever.

So even if it's just people screaming angrily into the void on the internet, it's more than was being done a day ago, and that something is more than nothing.

[–] CarnivorousCouch@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah, holy shit, I agree with OP, but this is unproductive. For the same reason it was unproductive to "both sides" during the election, it's useless to spend time on lambasting people for their sins, apropos of nothing. (By all means, keep chewing out people who resurface their tired Kamala rhetoric now.)

We should be building coalitions and working together. As has always been the case.

[–] Subdivide6857@midwest.social 5 points 5 days ago

This is just another day in America. Both right winger parties are shit. They're both capitalist scum bent over by the ruling class. Causing a larger divide isn't solving anything.

[–] shaggyb@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Her name was Renee Nicole Good.

She had a child, age 6.

The child's father died in 2023.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago

That child is now an orphan.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's how you get batman.

Bruh we have enough Billionaires.

We need more Frank Castles and no not the thin blue line caricature.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 30 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The video alone shows it was murder, pure and simple.

But yeah, a testimony is even better. Because video evidence means nothing anymore: it's either conceivably AI-generated, or the narrative is distorted out of recognition repeatedly, ad-nauseam, until viewers watching what's obviously going on in the video stop believing their lying eyes, like what Trump is attempting to do with the J6 videos.

[–] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

The testimony makes it even more damning, as it indicates that she was complying with a previous instruction ("get out of here") and was still murdered for it.

[–] Sunshine@piefed.ca 5 points 5 days ago

The monsters in the country are ice agents.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Enough is enough.

The American Tonton Macoutes are turning deadly now. It had to happen...

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 4 points 5 days ago

Provably deadly! It seems quite suspicious how many humans being deported untracked.

Thanks for the link, I’m always interested to see which particular histories the modern world is trying to repeat!

The CBS stream is unavailable for me.

Alternate (public address should start in ~~2hrs 2:15pm according to the CBS article~~ it's started): https://www.youtube.com/live/Ag6BAcnL7jY

[–] awaysaway@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

such a difficult thing to speak to as governor. A (righteous) uprising akin to what happened after the murder of George Floyd would almost certainly see the insurrection act declared. And such an uprising would be confusing geographically because it would be contra Washington DC but destructive to the Twin Cities which is a progressive place by and large

[–] bilouba@jlai.lu 6 points 5 days ago

Please American, wake up!

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Not the first to die and not the last, but at least we are making law abiding tax paying immigrants pay for not being white.
