    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.
