Check your eyesight pal.

Stop good lad. The person who was shot in the face 3 times through her car window, was American born and bred. What did she need to be warned of in relation to ICE? They should have nothing to do with her.
It's easy to be flippant on a message board, but a person was killed completely unnecessarily by this agency. 3 kids left behind. Have a bit of cop on.
That has nothing to do with politics, whatever so-called side someone is supposed to be on, or any of the other nonsense that flows back and forth in this thread.
Cleaning up an immigrant mess a you call it, has nothing to do with shooting an American woman in the face, and leaving her 3 kids without a mother.

She was interfering with the ICE RAIDs. I never said she wasn't American. She tried to run over an ICE Agent that had previously been run over before. Do you do any research at all before you post? Seriously?

Hey Comrade: it's ok to disagree. It really is. It's actually allowed on here. Get with the program.

Do your research and look at the direction the tyres on her jeep are pointing, away from the murderer and he was to the side of her vehicle. Why not shoot the tyres out instead of taking a head shot on an American mother of 3 small kids. You can support Trump all you want but nobody can defend this senseless act.

Hey Expert: many of them are ex Police or ex Military, etc and have to get trained for this. And as for everyday cops wasn't it people just like you calling for to Defund The Police not too long ago? There's plenty of videos out there showing what happened to the lady that ICE shot.

They obviously weren't trained very well then.

If they can hold the Olympics in China - which I assume you protested against? - they can hold the World Cup in the US!

The last World Cup was in Qatar, a feudal state that allows slavery. You objected to that too, of course?

When the WC was in Qatar how many competing countries were Qatar taking political control over? Not everything is the same you know?

Hundreds of virtual slaves from Bangladesh died building the stadiums, There were in fairness some soccer players and others who objected. Qatar is the complete opposite to what liberals like to imagine the ideal to be and yet it is beyond criticism.

Point being if you were to ban countries with human rights abuses there would be very few competitors.

And if it came to boycotting countries occupying another, well we have on in our own place,

Qatar was discussed plenty on here at the time. But again a totally, totally separate issue from the US, a host nation actively looking to take over the running of other countries that may be taking part.

It's like the lads on here bringing up Bill Clinton and the Epstein files when people ask why are Republicans blocking a full release. It's always whataboutery.

Whataboutary is Trumps only line of defence now, if that's the case he's lost the argument to fair minded people.

Our own country is partly occupied.

Barney, I hear what you're saying. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander.

But the US purports to be the greatest democracy in the world. We are much closer culturally to them, being "Westerners".

They are the most powerful country in the world and should set an example for other nations to follow. Trump's administration does anything but.

I love how you ignore all the points made not just by me but other posters about the US and just start throwing other random things in the mix.

Alot of Palestinians died building those stadiums. Rich people exploiting poor people, while still rife in the Western world is way worse in the middle east and other parts of Asia. Africa and South America too.
