History has shown us that putting people with guns amongst a hostile crowd is always a risky proposition.

The Boston Massacre 1770 and Kent State 1970 are prime examples, but yesterday was simply murder.

What is so outrageous about yesterday is that Ms.Good posed no threat, was not confrontational in any way, and was slowly retreating from the scene. Still, a masked ICE goon shot her in.the head at close range.

Just this ONE time Trump and his criminal cabal that pretends to be a presidential administration could have said, "This is a tragedy that needs to be throughly investigated." But oh no, yet again, their instant reaction LIKE EVERYTHING was to pathologically lie about what took place. And yet again, the corporate media lets the Trump gang blatantly lie and report it as truth.

To me, this is one of the main reasons we are living in an Orwellian, dystopian, never ending Twlight Zone episode.

The Big Ugly Death Bill has set aside 100 million dollars to hire more Gestapo.

YOU call them ICE, but are they really ICE?

Also a lot of far rightwing militia folks joined ICE. A disaster is inevitable.
