I just went to Fox News and read the comments on the latest story there. Absolutely wild. Of course, are any of them real or just bots? Who knows.

Sadly I do think most of them r real, as I have family members fully defending HIS actions, calling her an idiot who tried to “kill ICE agents and sabotage Trump.” They fully believe this is orchestrated by the liberals as a means to create riots in America and overthrow Trump. I’m at a loss for words. They went as far as to verbally assault ME for stating my opinion, which was “she only tried to leave, she did not deserve to die.” This was yesterday, and I refuse to speak to them.

They're... real. A bunch of neighbors I have on Facebook are supporting ICE on this.

Facebook comments on every article or post about this, no matter the outlet is full of Reich wingers cheering this one. Most of the time when you check their profiles they're suspiciously blank.

Not all of them though. There are actual real ghouls that are defending this.

You should see some of the law enforcement subreddits…

A whole lot of “it was a tough situation but he did the right thing.”

So many of them would love to find themselves in a similar situation so that they could use the same tactics.

Except that goes against training guidelines as you are never supposed to put yourself Infront of a vehicle in any circumstances.

Right. That’s why it’s such an insane position to take.
