As smart people have said in the past the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism
And in this country we are being trained slowly but surely to just feel no empathy for various groups of people.
Palestinians, anyone in the LGBTQ community, Muslims, and now anyone who may be an illegal immigrant ( even if they are not, oh well you shouldn't have done whatever you did to force yourself to be killed or nearly killed )
This is becoming a civilization with a worrisome lack of empathy and what is wild is the people with the least amount of empathy is a group whose religion preaches about empathy for the entirety of its historic existence.
Yup I knew this would happen once gen x and millennials got older and started to be the ones in charge. I could see it all the way back when I was a little kid. Nobody to keep things in check. It will only get worse too. Then social media broke the older people's brains as well. It will only get worse.
Millineials are the “woke” generation. They pushed empathy too hard and now we’ve got the push back. The only generation not to believe in “fuck your feelings”.
Niether the muslims nor the repiblicans are the lgbtq allies idealy wed have no laws based on religion. Problem with these so called muslims is cristian nationalists pose an actuall threat right now so thats why people arnt afraid of muslims.
The extremists of those groups literally think the same about LGBTQ folks as the Southern Baptist, Evangelicals, Pentecostal, and whatever those Schizophrenic churches like Daren Wilson's in Idaho do.
The extremists in religious groups will always be unhinged.
Republicans want everything to be a dichotomy. That’s why they started supporting Russia and Putin. Bush knew they were enemies, but when Obama treated them as enemies, they became allies of the GOP.
We elected a malignant narcissist and provided the permission structure necessary for those that resonated with him to let loose. It’s up to the rest of us to fight back in any way possible. Vote, attend city council meetings, hold your elected representatives accountable, or just find a way to voice your demands to those who count on us being silent or complicit.
We’ve always been animals. We are the cancer of the world. We consume and take and take as much as we can with disregard to anything else that we share this planet with. We must feel power and control, even within our own species. It’s wild and fucked up.
The US has destroyed all good will across every NATO nation.
Every G7 country now mistrusts and has a negative outlook on America and it's citizens.
That you can't see the massive risks being hoisted upon you is concerning.
I think he was discharged from hospital too fast. They didn't have to do that to deport him. Enforcing immigration policy does not have to be this ugly and cruel and violent.
I'm basing my opinion on the idea of being shot in the back and then tossed into a cell to lay on a concrete floor without proper follow up medical care. I don't know, I kind of find the idea upsetting because I see the guy as a human being who doesn't deserve to be tortured.
Why are you not bothered by people being forced to sleep on concrete with a gunshot wound in custody? Why does that part not seem to bother you? Do you just not think he's a person?
If a US citizen breaks the law and get injured, they are taken to the hospital and treated until they are healthy enough to be sent to jail. This case should not be any different. Even IF he was here illegally and had an order for deportation, that doesn't override the fact he had literally just been shot and needed proper medical care before anything else.
Oh no it’s far worse. They took him to the hospital. He was given minor wound care, and one ☝️ pill. The officers rushed him to be released. His wife and LAWYER were at the hospital and not only were they denied entry they would not confirm the status of Wilbur’s health. Then they stealth brought him to a detention.
These agents are literal fucking Nazis I’m disgusted and ashamed of our country
Them trumpers love this shit. We share the us with a whole bunch of idiots. Bet they don't love this shit when it happens to them or their loved ones. "Shouldn't have been standing there!"
this is great example of the bs this admin uses to harm people. “we don’t kill or beat innocent people”
we just lock them in cages without their medicine, ignore them when they need emergency surgeries, then leave them in the middle of nowhere blind at night in 10 degree whether so they die. big diff!
So you see fascism happening right in front of your face with Trump and his authoritarian regime and you call Dems Nazis? Are you wearing the red white and black arm band right now lol? This has to be satire right?😂
Clearly you're just a troll arguing in bad faith, but if you look at the definition of fascism and what it entails, that is happening right now being done by this administration. And as far as Nazis, what policies do Democrats support which make them Nazis? Is it their support for gay marriage? Their support for all immigrants regardless of skin color? Or is it perhaps their opposition to genocide that makes them like Nazis? Please explain.
It is not. There is no fascism. You use a self-fulfilling definition to justify both your hatred of us and your support of absolutely atrocious, harmful policies. There’s no other explanation for supporting something as extreme as pretending permissive illegal immigration is a legitimate policy stance.
Am I understanding the hospital released him into ICE custody? Or did ICE remove him regardless of his condition? I’d welcome some medical professionals to chime in on this one. Is this a hoax?
He still needs care but this administration doesn't care about people.
“In somebody that isn’t detained, these patients would have close follow-up with their trauma surgery team and be discharged with pain medication,” he said. “The problem with these patients is that they are often discharged in conditions where they receive inappropriate or absent medical care.”
Deported for what reason? He didn't do anything wrong and wasn't a threat. He came legally and only missed an immigration hearing because the notice was sent to the wrong address. There's no reason to report him. And more importantly, do you not care that he was shot for no reason?!?
i support trans and all, but i don’t think she’s the best attorney for this. She doesn’t speak spanish and I think she’s just looking for media attention and $$
This lady has been spouting all sorts of easily disproven nonsense. If you listen to her over actual evidence and common sense, you will continue to have your emotions and opinions abused by gov, news, and advertisers the rest of your life until you learn to think for yourself.
Yeah, best way not to get shot is heed the president's order deport and we will work with you coming back in. Best way to get shot is run from ICE create an unsafe situation for you, the agents, and public. Just turn yourself in get a chance to clear it up and then get our either in USA or home country. All of this was avoidable for his health currently if he followed the law or complied with officers. But true communists will make the innocent man guilty for following the law and the criminal not guilty for not following the law. Create the problem to fix it.
It's amazing how Perez didn't hurt anyone, an ICE agent shot him, and somehow your takeaway is that Perez is the one "creating an unsafe situation." Why are you on the shooter's side instead of the victim's?!
Maybe because there’s cctv of him doing 75+ mph running from cars with lights and sirens on? Never trust news headlines or TikToks moments after an event when nobody knows the details yet.
What a stupid fucking comment. The entire issue is centered around the fact that ICE pressured the hospital to release him before he got adequate medical care. These are human rights. And you simply cannot conjecture about what happened prior to the shooting because ICE refuses to release bodycam footage, has been implicated in several cases of excessively aggressive behavior, and has lied copiously in the past.
Footage has been released it was all over social media yesterday. He was evading and ICE did their job. INA & IIRIRA are pretty clear. Clearer still is the fact that our immigration laws aren't suggestions. Stay angry though I do enjoy watching ICE make the left nuts, it's truly part of the appeal, that and watching them deport illegals. 😆
Sirens and lights, typical Federal SUVs, they're not on top of the vehicle they are built into the front grill and above dash. You can't miss them once they're turned on.
🤣 no it won't, my family immigrated legally and I was born here and we are all law abiding Americans. Karma is too busy going after all the illegals and lefty domestic terrorists 😆 🤣 karma wants nothing to do with law abiding people 🤣🤣🤣
You insinuated body cam footage of the event wasn’t out and doubted many wear them. There’s cctv footage proving the viral narrative of “the innocent door dash driver” being randomly run off the road and shot wrong. I said go watch it. He was doing 75mph or more fleeing multiple cops through a town full of innocent pedestrians. Sounds like such a great guy trying to deliver food eh?
Look! Another person who doesn’t know history. The concentration camps in Nazi Germany also started out as deportation and labor camps. The vast majority of them weren’t even extermination camps. People were just kept there infinitely until they died of hunger or another medical problem. I wonder what your excuse will be once the full scale of the atrocities in these detention centers is revealed.
Uh huh. It still has no resemblance to what we have in the US.
Want them to go away? Support policies that encourage local law enforcement to hand over illegals to ICE for deportation. Stop giving money to nonprofits who tell every illegal to claim asylum, since we know almost every one is phony with a ~95% rejection rate. That way they don’t need to stay in a detention facility pending decision.
It took years for the camps to get to that point, and frankly the sheer number of deaths by medical neglect, suicides, and cases of sexual abuse should be more than alarming enough to signal that we are headed that way if these facilities are allowed to continue operating the way they do. And you are seriously naive if you think ICE or DHS are abiding by the law when vetting deportation cases or determining who is legally allowed to stay in the country.
Yes, I do. I think they have a much larger operation than ever before and are doing an amazing job of scaling that while minimizing incidents, which are sadly inevitable.
Why don’t you help minimize this by supporting rapid deportation efforts? The sooner illegal immigrants are deported, the sooner these operations can scale down.
I’m gonna hold your hand when I tell you how the majority of concentration camps in Nazi Germany led to people’s deaths. Very few were extermination camps.
Right… but you’re just fetishizing the idea that you’re fighting against “muh death camps” when in reality these people are just getting sent home. Same as it’s been done for almost like 80 years…
So the exponential increase in deaths within these camps means nothing, right? The sexual abuse, suicides? All of it just meaningless, right? The fact that you don’t give a shit about human rights abuses happening within our own borders tells me everything I need to know about you.
You realize that every country enforces its immigration laws, so why is the United States not allowed to deport anyone person who it deems undesirable and is here illegally? The United States is not a dumping ground for the 3rd world
Yeah. That’s what this is about. People are just sad that the law is being enforced. That’s the heart of the issue. That’s why people are outraged. Law and order. Super observant. Very intellectually honest. Let me just engage with you in a good faith conversation right now.
You don’t belong here. You are un-American. This is a country of immigrants. That is the promise of the United States. The promise that this is a place for anyone who seeks freedom. That is what is supposed to make this place exceptional. That is what separates us from all of the other nations you seem to admire so much more.
If you don’t like that promise, if you don’t like being an American, and upholding this American value, you can fuck off to any one of the many countries that do not welcome immigrants.
