    Utterly irrelevant. Murder isn’t less murder just because someone was politically not a couch potato. Even if someone goes in the street and says things you don’t like, like that LGBTQ+ people should have the same rights as everyone else, it’s not OK to just shoot them three times in the head to make them be quiet. Someone should teach these ICE Nazis this.

      You’re 100% right.

      This whole smear thing serves the same purpose as ‘if you don’t want to get shot, just comply with legal orders’. Normalize the messaging and then the assumption is that they were doing things they shouldn’t have been.

      We won’t believe it for this one, but after it keeps happening, people start accepting it as inescapable.

      It’s gross, but unfortunately it’s effective.

    She could somehow be the queen of Antifa, and if you’re only learning that now, it cannot be why you shot her in the face.

    Not apropos at all, but there’s a little device called a “caltrop” and it’s really easy to make if you have a way to weld and bend common nails. I mean, I wouldn’t advise putting these things on your local streets because they will definitely fuck up pneumatic tires and nobody needs that shit.

      Plastic cap roofing nails, the shorter the better. They come in bulk. No need to be fucking around bending nails when you can buy ones ready made for the task. The shorter the shank, the wider the cap, the more likely they are to and up cap side down if just spilled into a space.

      Possession of caltrops is banned in many states, making the roofing nail comment a really interesting idea

      Also be careful about watering your yard this time of year in Minneapolis. You may accidentally spray the roads and ICE clearly can’t figure out slick surfaces. Would be terrible if they got stuck or damaged their vehicles.

    Unfortunately this shouldn’t surprise anyone, it’s commonplace in investigations and trials. They will literally use your belief in equality as pretext and/or post justification to destroy your life be it on the street, in court, in prison, or in death.
