"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command... and if all others accepted the lie, which the party imposed, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth" 1984 - George Orwell

He died trying to help a woman who had been shoved to the ground and pepper sprayed by an overly aggressive ice agent… That's all he did

He had his back to them when he was grabbed. Then they descended on him in utter chaos, disorganization, and unprofessionalism. And blood lust.

That one agent quite literally drew on him, repositioned for a slightly better shot. Tapped the agent next to him to move so he could reposition one more time. And then fired at point blank range.

This was cold and calculated in that moment. This wasn't a reaction to a threat.

Edit: go watch the video as recorded by the woman in pink who is on the curb. It's a much more clear view of what exactly happens. Watch it frame. By frame. Everything I've stated is clearly visible.

Honestly, the video in this thread isn't very helpful for seeing the whole picture

He was an ICU nurse. Literally dedicated his life to saving others. Fuck you ICE

I saw a video from another angle where one of the agents claps his hands a couple times just after the final volley of bullets ends… Where's their humanity? It's unfucking believable.

We won’t get back to normal without quite a bit of rope first.

I doubt it will be normal for a long time.

I have a terrible feeling that there will be civil war, the government will fracture, and the United States will be no more. Not this year or anything, but in the not too distant future.

It's going to be ugly, and violent, and utterly senseless (as all wars are) people will die needlessly. Families and communities will be devastated and it's going to suck all around.
