There was a video of an ICE agent running away with his gun just before they shot him, funny that, actual evidence doesn't count as evidence but lies do? No, a statement by someone not present during the murder doesn't count, that's called hearsay. "An office told me the suspect brandished his gun," is not allowable in court as evidence.
So I guess late last night Fox said the quiet part out loud, that the victim wasn’t armed and by this morning they were toeing the line with the DHS domestic terrorist bullshit. I can imagine the management meeting this morning where they’re told to follow the Trump rule or be fired. Propagandists all of them.
Sadly authoritarian regimes often have significant popular support. A lot of people take comfort in “order” being maintained with brute force. Until their own family members are “disappeared”, that is. Regimes like these always end up getting paranoid and cannibalising themselves.
"Change my mind" is not the same as "prove me wrong." There's no convincing those who reject truth. The unreasonable cannot be reasoned with. Refuting nonsense is easy, but there's a big difference between: someone being proven wrong, someone being convinced they're wrong, someone admitting they're wrong, & someone changing their beliefs & behavior after accepting they were wrong.
We are way past the Rubicon at this point, but it bears repeating that this is now a fight between good and evil. People who will justify murders with lies, protect pedophiles, and ignore laws with complete disregard are evil.
They will label him an 'antifa agitator' and then demonize gun ownership or guns at protests (but of course all the asshats with their long guns proudly out during covid protests were just fine, right?)
Then how about we drag the DHS into federal court over the blatant lies and force the judge to determine whether or not their statements are true. Make it legally dangerous for the DHS to straight-up lie.
The new response to anyone parroting the made up lies of DHS & this administration needs to go like this:
“The protester was brandishing a firearm” Cool story bro, show me the video “She was aiming for ICE agents Cool story bro, show me the video “That 5 yr old was abandoned”
It was disproven before they made the statement. The world saw the video, watched the DHS lie about it hours later, then we got the pink girl’s camera angle and BOY HOWDY was that man murdered in cold blood. No ifs, ands or buts.
"it was never disproven because we reject anything that disproves it. remember how we cured covid because we stopped counting deaths? same thing! all hail our master pedophile president, this country isn't beyond irredeemably fucking lost at all, not one single bit, a fucking worldwide pathetic joke."

It's important to remember that ALL conservatives are nazis, and approve of Alex Pretti's execution. They don't care if they have to lie.

First stupid choice, believing a con man rather than easily found information.

The most important command of this Administration: "Do not believe what you see with your own eyes".

The liars who only ever lie and have motivation to lie in this case have lied again. I say we trust them.

It HAS been disproven. By all the videos that show him NOT brandishing a weapon.

To those animals it can't be disproven if they don't look at it.

You can't prove a negative

Only one fix for that level of stupidity.
Well, two.

It hasn’t been disproven and I refuse to look at any evidence that might

I guess he gets paid for it. Doesn't seem worth it though.

Fun fact: With crimes, you don't get to choose which evidence you like.

There is clear footage of him shooting the gestapo with his recording device.

The Department of Hatred and Spite hasn't shown you the videos? I wonder why that is.

“We don’t need proof, we were told what we wanted to hear”
IgnisInvictus
... it's been disproven by the videos.
I refuse to ignore the evidence of my own eyes and ears.
Oh and that dude is a brainwashed fuck.

It was disproven before they made the statement. The world saw the video, watched the DHS lie about it hours later, then we got the pink girl’s camera angle and BOY HOWDY was that man murdered in cold blood. No ifs, ands or buts.

Looks like a bot account
IgnisInvictus
Sleeperkid or Hudson?
Walter Hudson is a republican member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, and I'm pretty sure that's his official account.
Sleeperkid is a real person, self-employed, purveyor of smut.
nyvn
I mean Hudson. Yeah, he is a real person, just hard to imagine a serious person saying that.

There's brainwashed, and then there's stating something based on job or ideology.
IgnisInvictus
True. But you do that long enough you start believing your own bullshit.
