Author Larry Correia encapsulates my thoughts on this perfectly:
It's amazing how dishonest the framing is today.
I don't know if this shooting is justified or not yet. Nobody does. Anybody who pretends they know for sure is a partisan hack talking out their rear
However, if you provoke hundreds of confrontations, over and over, with the same bunch of feds, you can't pretend to be surprised when something bad eventually happens.
Just off the math alone, with humans being human, if you force them into a bunch of altercations a day, eventually somebody is gonna get shot.
Everybody with a brain knows this. Useful idiots act like there's no such thing as context and every incident exits in a vacuum of perfect clarity. The politicians pushing this know it. It's just playing the odds, and truth is they are happy for more useful idiots to die.
This whole thing has got nothing to do with immigration. It's just the never ending continuation of the left's perpetual temper tantrum to punish America whenever we vote wrong.
Then you've got the left trying to shame the right into assisting them in their attempt to destroy us. "We thought you didn't like the feds. Hypocrites. Boot lickers" etc.
On the contrary. We distrust and dislike the government. But we DESPISE communists.
In this case the people demanding we go shoot the cops who are enforcing the laws WE VOTED FOR, don't hesitate to use the feds as a club against us whenever they are in charge. The Venn diagram of dishonest scumbags crying "boot licker" today with scumbags who said they were going to use the Army to take our guns and kill us if we resist, look like a stack of pancakes.
Nobody is this gullible. And yes, this is very much a left verses right issue. People like to pretend otherwise, but we all know that's bull hockey.
This is a repeat of the great Democrat temper tantrum of 2020, and they're hoping for a similar outcome. The fact this is happening in the same corrupt, commie poop hole as last time should be a clue.
Dishonest trash are framing this as out of control Gestapo feds grabbing an innocent CCW guy off the streets and executing him. Which seems to be skipping some mighty big steps in this particular equation, but that's where we're at now.
So it's the usual thing where lefties do a bunch of stuff, cause trouble, destroy society, something bad inevitably happens, and then they cry about it until we put them back in power so they can stomp on our necks with impunity.
The part they miss is that most of us really don't like the government, but we actively fear it when they're in charge. And spare us the tears, moral equivalence shills, they are gleefully worse.
It isn't that the left suddenly cares about the plight of poor "immigrants". They care about winning and consolidating power. Illegal populations give them more numbers for congressional seats and more opportunities for fraud. That's it.
Only the most gullible of idiots believe their crap about Literally Hitler Fascist Racist whatever. It's a bunch of histrionic theater kids cosplaying being victims, and they are so terrified of the actual Gestapo that they go out and annoy them all day, as sensible people do.
The only thing I wonder about is to what extent normie America is going to fall for this scam again?
