"I was surrounded by masked goons screaming contradictory orders at me. One came up to my door, screaming at me and trying to get inside my car. I tried to drive around them, as instructed, and then I was shot in the face."
I would be fascinated to hear Austin Ayers' thoughts on what should have happened to Ashley Babbitt. I'm sure it's not at all 100% contradictory and upside down from reality.
It should be repurposed as some kind of a warning/lesson to future generations to not elect criminal conmen felons and rapists President of the United States. We really shouldn't need something like that, but we definitely do.
Those don't show... um... voting history, do they? I can hear Vance or Miller saying "Look, if you didn't want to get deported then you should have voted for Trump. This isn't difficult, and I wish people would stop pretending like we're doing something wrong. Don't support your president and you risk deportation or prison."
It probably should have caused more of a stir when Trump said in an interview yesterday that he does not consider himself bound by the rule of law. Fuck, was that even a news story?
The dude did basically everything wrong. Including unnecessarily murdering someone. So of course our elected leaders immediately start calling the murdered woman a terrorist. The woman who was smiling and being friendly and saying "I'm not mad at you" right before she was shot in the head.
Anchorlady on tv calmly said earlier "Trump did acknowledge that he may have to choose between taking Greenland and saving NATO. Back to you Bob." I chuckled in a I can't believe this is real life happening way.
Even if he had been standing in the middle of the road and she was driving towards him, that still wouldn't give him the right to shoot her in the head three times. So all this "was he clear of the car when he fired the first shot" shouldn't even be a discussion. The fact that shots 2 and 3 came with him standing next to the car as it drove away, firing into the driver's side window, means he should have been arrested for murder already.
Noem kept repeating that she was "impeding their work". Like as justification for that nazi who shot her three times in the head. Of course she also kept repeating that the woman had followed them around harassing them "all day" (she was shot at 9:30 in the morning after dropping her kid off at school) and that the ICE agents were trapped in non-existent snow.
... after at least one of the agents yelled at her to get out of there. So she's got that order, and then she's got a crazy enraged masked dude with a gun trying to get into her car.
This is from that shitty USA Today opinion piece posted above: "And Good appears to have purposefully driven into officers, violating the law by obstructing a federal enforcement operation, and faced an immediate, fatal consequence."
So in your world, she should have been allowed to go on her way, with the rest of the mob, and been allowed to access the congresspeople in hiding? And just hope they don't hurt/kill too many of them?
Fuck that article and fuck everything you said about Babbitt. She was crawling through broken glass trying to get to congresspeople who were in hiding from the mob trying to find them.
Vance does this really fucking annoying thing where he says "The woman was obviously trying to kill the ICE agent, and no one is arguing that". Um, 1) No she wasn't, and 2) The entire country is arguing that.
