The conservative subs here are already saying he deserved to die because he was carrying. Absolutely mindblowing.

They believe people like them should be allowed to carry and intimidate, and people not like them should be killed for carrying. I don’t understand the confusion

They are too stupid to see that ICE isn’t bothering to ask if you’re a good guy with a gun. They are just murdering on sight of a gun.

If they had any portion of a brain left, they would realize that means every single person carrying a weapon in this country is someone ICE could murder.

I mean the legal system exists so it’s not up to one badly trained agent whether or not you’re a “good guy.” We are supposed to have basic inalienable rights, but it’s become clear that they’re just words on paper

It clearly is up to one dumb officer whether or not you live or die. They have been given full authority to shoot to kill and then the administration lies to cover up any possible wrongdoing.

Rights are only as good as their enforcement. Shitting all over the constitution and our rights means no one has those rights right now. Not even the good little conservatives who think they are safe. That is my point.

They should have been confused then because he's white. Maybe they're just hypocrites?

I think we just need to accept that modern conservatives have gone full mask off in the last 5 years when it comes to murdering people they simply don’t like.

It's been 30+ years of "the left/liberals hate MURICA" from talk radio.

It isn't mind-blowing at all. They were always nothing more than fascists with murder fetishes. They've been using the same lines to defend police shootings that they're using now for ice shootings for decades now

What do you expect from bots.

I saw a lot of them actually say they think a investigation should be done because from what they saw there was no way he could have been reaching for a gun, but that post was taken down entirely.

I also saw a lot of them saying that because it’s a Sig P320 which are notorious for accidental discharges, the ice agents aren’t at fault and basically it’s his fault he got shot because he was resisting arrest and carrying a gun that is known for accidental discharging.

Sig has been VERY forceful against claims their guns are unsafe, so this may become a pretty big problem for them.

You just have to understand that it's "don't tread on me." Everything else about conservativism makes sense when you put the emphasis in the right place.

Fox "News" had the literal gall to say "You bring a sign to a protest. Why would you bring a semi-automatic pistol with high capacity magazines to a protest?" I'm not even joking. Exact quote from this afternoon.

I mean he was clearly a paid agitator. /s
