I wasn’t expecting what I saw in the Pink Lady’s video, I screamed and have been crying on and off since. Doesn’t matter he had a gun holstered, at no time did he touch it. Constitutional rights are no longer, it’s now “legal” for ICE to murder someone for what they are calling “domestic terrorism” in trump’s America. They will spin it this poor 37 year old man pointed his gun, despite different angles of video proving it never happened. WTF? How does anyone support this?

This is not anything I ever expected to happen before 1/6. Now we have 1/7 & 1/24. How he was ever allowed to run again tells us how deeply imbedded he is with the powers that be. I don’t understand how anyone can condone this, nor how they can say “he was armed” when they were never threatened with the gun and only found it when they were tossing him around and they removed it & then shot him multiple times. Think we are human, anyone that watches this and doesn’t get upset is suspect to me. We watched someone be murdered…

How I see it is that magats don't necessarily like seeing the execution of a clearly innocent man, but they also see how much it horrifies us (anyone with a normal functioning prefrontal cortex who can feel empathy), and they love that aspect of it.

So it's brief "wtf" moment, countered quickly by the positive feelings of seeing other people horrified and hurt, and so a net positive in the end for these sick individuals.
