fucking disgrace, all these just to detain migrants. Meanwhile in Wisconin in 2020, a white kid shooting 3 black men gets off scot free. I forgot his name, the chubby kid with a puchable face.
found it, kyle fucking rittenhouse. Jesus that case made my blood boiled.
If it's any consolation, he has no education, no job prospects, and is getting pushed out of the conservative talk show circuit. He will be destitute soon (if he isn't already).
Still would rather him have a length of cord round his throat.
I watched all the videos, his self defense claim was credible enough from a legal standpoint. The prosecution tried to make an example of him instead of charging manslaughter or even 3rd degree murder, while the media narrative painted the event like a KKK lynching. This is why people still think the men shot were black, were unarmed, and were not attacking him.
He instantly became the focus for the entire left/right divide, and that kind of "fame" would fuck anyone up. He was kicked out of school, fired from jobs, and only the right wing grifters would have anything to do with him. At 18 half the country wanted him dead, it's no wonder he ended up so fucked up.
Hate to break it to you, but everyone involved in that case was white. They also over charged trying to make an example of him due to the media circus.
Maybe not just migrants, Trump was literally quoted as saying something like "even some people born here are not so great, that might be the next step." And other officials have already hinted at mechanisms for stripping citizenship from US born people that "pose a threat to the US".
remember the white guy that shot up a bunch of asian massage parlors, and they call it "he was having a bad day"
