    35% justified. It seems like there’s always a third that support this vile leader. No matter what, maga loves him.

      When 35% are too stupid at best, too evil at worst, to see what’s fundamentally wrong with what happened, it’s damning of the whole. How do you end up with a 50/50 split in whether shooting an unarmed mother in the face is acceptable? The whole culture accepts shootings too easily that this even becomes a question to ask.

    What concerns me is that this essentially lines up with Trump’s approval rate (or lack thereof). How many people are actually reasoning themselves to a conclusion rather than just having their sides opinion told to them? Have they actually seen the videos and watched them with a critical eye? I did, and it’s pretty damning for ICE.

    But here’s the other side of it: how many of you were surprised Kyle Rittenhouse was not convicted on any of his shootings? I saw the videos and I was not surprised by the rulings that landed, yet I’ve seen many comments calling him a murderer.

    Inb4 “both sides”: I am a democratic socialist and union activist. There is a good chance I’m further left than a significant portion of those who would reply to me, but the truth is the truth.

      According to r/conservative, the video completely exonerates the murderer. “She laughing and relaxed.” Tell me you’ve never had an interaction with a woman that wasn’t her choice without telling me.

    ICE agents shouldn’t even be drawing their weapons without justification, for this exact reason. I keep seeing videos of them just standing around with their guns out. It’s fucking insane.
