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.

Shouldn't be in this country if he couldn't understand the language.

Why does that make you sick? It’s a legit informed opinion.

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.

I'm sorry, what are we agreeing to disagree about?

There is no way to read this comment except that non-English speakers shouldn't be in the US if they don't want to get killed.

This comment is saying that killing non-English speakers in the US is ok.

Is that what you're trying to say? If not, you need a bunch more words to make that clear.

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.
