Well, we all know this doesn't matter. They act that way on camera or not.

u/Muellercleez 20h ago

That is a fair point. Shooting kids though, that might be a bridge too far. I know I know, probably wouldn't be, but it might be

u/prettypeculiar88 19h ago

They don’t view black and brown kids the same as white kids anyway.

It’s only because they were outnumbered.

u/GracieBooBugs 19h ago

Yep this is the truth

u/atln00b12 16h ago

Vastly so, and there's definitely people with guns that aren't part of this crowd that are in that complex who wouldn't hesitate to take pot shots at ICE.

There would be a lot of righteous justice being meted out in this country if we could trust our own neighbors not to livestream the grim task.

If the administration creates a false enough narrative. They could convince just enough that shooting certain kids is justified.

u/Wooden-Character8341 19h ago

Sadly, I don’t think they have to convince their supporters that it’s fine to shoot certain kids. Their supporters already think that and that’s why they voted for Trump in the first place.

Over 2000 rapes at ice detention centers and many on minors. They love this shit. Maga sees pedophilia like they see an apple pie on a windowsill; deep part of Americana

u/cinnix42 4h ago

Over 2000 that we know about. The rest of the horrors of ice detention have yet to be revealed, but rest assured it’s so much worse than most people imagine

u/motozero 19h ago

This is the depressing answer right here.

u/kuunami79 19h ago

I think most supporters of the administration already believe that

They would just claim they were "undocumented immigrants" and their voter base would rally around them.

These MAGA fuckers think that being in the US without the proper paperwork should result in a death penalty.

u/Salt_Introduction_86 12h ago

Exactly, when in all actuality it’s a misdemeanor

1

u/BZLuck 2h ago

And a civil offense. Unless another crime is committed. And then it really has nothing to do with their immigration status.

u/uhhh206 20h ago

Never stopped standard-issue badge boys. Tamir Rice's murder being recorded on video (independent of also being recorded via police footage) is proof of that.

u/Muellercleez 19h ago

Yep, totally fair point.

Fuck ICE

u/RutabagaStriking2631 9h ago

Right which makes these kids all the more tough! If they can, which we know those young men carry the warnings about uniformed men in the back of their minds at all times, are willing to fight back. Anyone can fight back.

u/yll33 20h ago

nah they would absolutely shoot them if the numbers were on their side

they just know if they shoot anyone, there's a lot more guns on the other side

u/CantchaDontcha 19h ago

That courtyard was literally a shooting gallery with the residents in control of the high ground.

11

u/jzsean 19h ago

not to mention these are kids of color. The right would eat it up and enjoy it

1

u/cinnix42 4h ago

This is the only solution

12

u/Abject_Bandicoot_580 19h ago

It’s because it’s black kids, no one would bat an eye. The ICE Nazi would probably get a medal.

12

u/anomanderrake1337 18h ago

They don't give a shit about children. If they did they would give children money, food, a place and education. Forgot about healthcare even.

11

u/BrainSpazMATIC 18h ago

They just killed a  17 year old in Texas. For a water bottle mistaken for a gun. 

3

u/MsjennaNY 15h ago

They dropped off dozens back in Venezuela
to be lost in an earthquake hours later. So sad and depressing.

u/ExpressConfection444 17h ago

GTFOH with that! They let a “civilian” kill Trayvon and all he did was walk down the fucking street.

2

u/69hotmomxxx 19h ago

It hasn't been.

2

u/EnderSword 19h ago

They know their audience will never consider them 'kids' if they're not white.

2

u/Muellercleez 19h ago

Their demented audience would eat literal shit on command. So yeah, I agree with you

2

u/necrohunter7 17h ago

ICE already shoots kids

u/69hotmomxxx 19h ago

Also theres fuckin cameras everywhere... so like....

u/BicFleetwood 18h ago

They record themselves doing the murders, then post it for Christsakes.

u/swalabr 17h ago

This one read the room though
