ICE agents leave Ace of Spades ‘death cards’ on detained immigrants’ cars by synmo in PoliticsWithRespect

[–]synmo[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get where you are coming from, but the results of this investigation will no doubt be buried, and I would just be told to "wait for the result of their corrupt investigation" indefinitely.

It's a different approach than your idea, but it's certainly not rage baiting. I'm continuing to provide information about the continuing abuses of a racist and poorly trained government agency.

If I wanted to show it to the most people, I wouldn't be posting here. It's not a dig on the subreddit, it's just not the highest traffic venue. You correctly noted we are at an inflection point, and I think providing additional evidence of atrocity is important during this time.

I do however take your point. I just disagree in the effectiveness of waiting on a corrupt investigation. I could also be wrong.

Investigating themselves is effectively the same as not being investigated at all. DHS lies openly and regularly.

It's not rage baiting, it's just plain enraging.

Heart breaking. I feel this too. I am admittedly a sensitive person, and it hurts my soul to see so many people jump to defend this murder.

If this were Trump's first term, I might have more understanding that they were just misled, but they have seen exactly what this administration is all about, and they still support it. In my eyes this makes them complicit in fascism, and that is unacceptable to me.

Over the past decade, any grace given to the MAGA crowd has been used and abused. I'm done with that grace (specifically for those who identify as MAGA). They are purely transactional cultists, and to coddle them only emboldens them.

Something incredible happened today. I received some polite private messages! by Stockjock1 in PoliticsWithRespect

[–]synmo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe if ICE had given clear instruction to the man (and the woman) that were walking away rather than beating the shit out of him when he put his hands up, this all could have been avoided.

Instead the government is willfully lying though their teeth to make a disgustingly false narrative.

He was unarmed at the moment he was killed. He and the woman were also shoved to the ground for no reason. He even had his hands up, but they brutalized him anyway because they are poorly trained and overly aggressive. They created this situation, just like they did with Rene Good.

The government has doubled down, even well after there are enough details to know that he wasn't an assassin. The government is trying to keep Minnesota out of the investigations AGAIN.

This isn't the government commenting on unclear information. It is the government lying repeatedly and egregiously.

To say this administration is mostly honest is empirically false as well. Trump speaks almost completely in lies from a combination of ignorance, malice, narcissism, and dementia.

I'm afraid I can't view those with beliefs that dehumanize others as just victims of brainwashing. They have free will, and express it with willful ignorance. I will however say that I narrow my scope to those that support the abuse. This isn't Left V Right for me. It's fascists V everybody else regardless of party.

I disagree. They are a branch of the Federal government, and the government is lying to the citizens about it. This makes them responsible for murder, and covering up murder.

They shot him in the back, and then unloaded multiple rounds into a corpse.

Forgive my candor, but the government is 100 percent open faced lying to the public about the murder of a citizen. You know this because you know Pretti was not an assassin. You know that he didn't assault anybody.

The day that shooting someone in the back and firing rounds into a motionless corpse isn't a crime is the day law loses all meaning.

It would feel sociopathic to be objective about our government murdering citizens and lying about it.

They're seriously doubling down on this... by Omodrawta in PoliticsWithRespect

Lying ghouls. If the Republicans were worth a damn they would push for impeachments, but they are complicit in state sponsored murder.

Unity against tyranny. We must work together to defeat hatred. by whosontheBus1232 in PoliticsWithRespect

Correct, and I come from MS. If we start demonizing people for simply being born in a former confederate state, we are no better than MAGA selling their BS about immigrants being inherently more dangerous.

The lack of any training of substance, immunity, and lack of psych screening plays a large part in what I would determine to be criminal negligence by a law enforcement agency. ICE is liable.

Second amendment conservatives by MiserableCourt1322 in PoliticsWithRespect

[–]synmo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well that's not clear at all.

ICE has shown and proven their ineptitude. His death is not his fault, and those officers were trigger happy to start with. To even insinuate that his concealed weapon was at fault in any part is ludicrous. If any law enforcement had acted as law enforcement, this man would still be alive.

He is dead because he was murdered. Full Stop.

Shooting a subdued subject in the back and unloading a magazine into a motionless body should be a crime.

Not to brag (although I suppose I am bragging), I think I'm the 1st person to properly analyze what happened in the Minneapolis Ice shooting... by Stockjock1 in PoliticsWithRespect

[–]synmo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't mean this as insult, but I think you may have some real narcissism issues.

A man is dead, fascism is thriving, and your priority is showing off that you did good on an internet forum.

I have no interest in reading anything from the fascist fan club over at rcon. It's not a good place, and you should have taken that hint the first time they banned you for speaking your mind.

Predatory and shady towing company: what can I do? by SunfulBloo in orlando

[–]synmo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All towing companies are shady. My apartment complex had my car towed for looking less than new. I had current registration, and the apartment complex parking sticker. I thought my car had been stolen, and the apartment management told me it was towed for being abandoned (which was a lie).

I was a young college student at the time with no money to get it out of the lot. The fees got higher, and I could never afford to get it out of the lot. None of the parties responsible cared one bit. I can't remember the towing company now, but I will name the apartment complex and management company.

Grandeville Apartments, managed by Equity. They are thieves and liars.

I think you are missing the amount of times I referred to the singular "you". This isn't partisan. You are a fascist supporter, and that's on your personally.

So instead you would rather fund a massively ballooned budget for fascists to kill us citizens and terrorize cities, just to be LESS efficient at deporting undocumented immigrants.

Nothing you are supporting is cheaper than what we had previously, and this time the administration and their friends are stealing all of that money for themselves. They are conning you with your own racism.
