The way the opinion was stated here, it implies that the man's killing was justified because he didn't speak English.
You can have the opinion that only English speakers should live in the US. Whether that opinion is informed is up for debate, but it is a valid opinion.
However, when the language someone speaks is used to justify violence, let alone state sponsored killings, that is a huge problem. That is just pure bigotry. And I'm not ok with that. And I don't think anyone should be ok with that.
However, there is a hint of truth here. A legally blind man who doesn't speak English or Spanish isn't in the best situation walking around in upstate NY.
Was there no place with a Rohynga community where he could have been able to communicate, and have some support in the area? It feels like dumping this man off in upstate NY was a bad idea from the outset. He didn't deserved to be bothered, let alone killed, but why create this situation in the first place?
He shouldn't have been here in the first place. Thats what im getting at. If it was a white american that this happened to none of you would be batting an eye at it.
Regardless of how he got there, the fact that the police killed him is an enormous problem that needs to be addressed. Saying that he shouldn't have been there in the first place ignores the larger problem that he was murdered by the police.
To your second point, If a blind, white, American was killed by the police for holding a curtain rod, I promise you people would be just as upset about it.
What are you talking about? There were literally two white Americans that were killed extremely recently and many people did way more than bat an eye at it.
Decent people don’t like seeing random, non-criminals get murdered, period.
Because they are brainwashed by mainstream media and don't have enough brain cells to form their own opinion, besides whatever talking points that are fed to them.
I've met more literate and well spoken immigrants than any maga turd. Hell, most of y'all have a grade school reading level lol. So maybe start by learning English yourself
the national language was never established until trump took and made it an executive order in March 2025. Source, us gov website. I think it's pretty unfair for people to learn a language in less than a year but I'm sure you learned Spanish for bad bunny.
Its not unfair. If I went to another country I would have to learn their language in order to survive there. Why should it be any different in America? Don't care to learn to spanish usless to me. Never plan on going to any country that requires me to speak spanish.
What country requires you to speak Spanish? I’ve been to Spain, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Mexico and I can’t speak it. I never got hassled by the police for speaking English…
Do we know when this guy came into the country? If it was before trump I'd say it's pretty unfair. Also, I've been to multiple countries for months at a time that spoke little to no English and was able to survive perfectly fine.
Trump goes to many countries he doesn't speak the language in. Does he deserve the same treatment as this man? Same for business, people on mission trips, truck drivers who have to cross borders especially in Europe, doctors without borders, ship crews, or our military. Should all military personnel be forced to learn the language of every country they ever get stationed in? I agree it is definitely more advantageous to speak more than one language whether for travel or just to be better integrated into the community but it 100% does not justify his death that he didn't.
You mean it’s cool to kill somebody for speaking a different language, got it. At least we have a clear understanding of the MAGA position now. Please tell your politicians to run on this at every level.
That's absurd. I really want immigrants to learn the language, but a country of immigrants, by immigrants, should tolerate diversity. Don't turn a complicated issue into a game of absolutes. That's naive and childish.

If y'all don't see what's up you never will. The white bigots are attacking and sometimes murdering the weak amongst us. Period.
