Matt Goodwin makes a living out of railing against university educated elites & his whole schtick is "he was the first person in his family to go to university", which is a bit weird given that his Dad, now being heavily invoked for his Manchester connection, appears to have a string of degrees.

It's worth noting that ICE and CBP shot more of those vulnerable neighbors *in-between* Good and Pretti. And yet...

You know what nevermind.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

The government has fully endorsed the notion of asylum seekers as a dire threat to the country, so the failure of their own plans is largely their own fault, as is (more importantly) the increasing risk of serious violence
Anyone forced to live at this camp will be rightly terrified for their safety. Impossible to see how anyone, let alone vulnerable and traumatised people, can properly be housed there now
Thousands march in Crowborough over asylum plan for former military camp
Protesters walk to Sussex market town from base where Home Office plans to house up to 500 asylum seekers

they did in fact very literally vote for this. they wanted the brutality, they just assumed it would be against someone else
Seriously, folks, people did NOT vote for murder on the streets. A majority of those who voted went for Trump, and to win power, those against Trump will have to win many of them over, not reject them all as people who want fascism.

The @wsj.com in an editorial wrote today: "...Pretti attempted, foolishly, to assist a woman who had been pepper-sprayed by agents"

According to the WSJ, it's "foolish" for a nurse to assist a person in medical distress. Incredible

Did anyone actually vote to have masked Federal agents hold US citizens down and shoot them in the back?

Worth noting that the @wsj.com has joined with the @nytimes.com and Bellingcat to say that ICE is lying in its description of the shooting of Alex Pretti. The video evidence more and more supports the view that this was a gratuitous execution. www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

If you're a GC who is having dark nights of the soul about your allies justifying executions in the street, that's because you're a transphobe who joined a transphobic hate cult.

There is no other explanation.

Get help for your delusion.

Trans people have been proved so right when they told everyone what they were dealing with - fascists - the monsters who are trying to take away their human rights out of nothing but hatred, and yet they were not believed by the majority.

Shame on all of us. We'll carry that to our graves.

Graham Linehan spent years calling comedians who supported trans rights "regime comedians", and yet, when it comes down to it, he is, of course, the biggest regime comedian of all, totally on side with Trump and his thugs. He is literally running defence for the Trump regime.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.
