"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

"I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother.
“I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.
Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.
There is no justification for this. None.

The murder of little angels at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis - and so many other places - by people with assault weapons (or any other firearm) is a "national sin.”
This is not a mere political issue. It is a defining moral one.

Deaf guy tried to show ICE his ID. An agent grabbed it and didn't return it.
So he tried to type a message about his disability but an agent grabbed his phone.
He was left w/ no way to communicate w/ the men seizing him.
He was a DACA recipient (a "dreamer"). He spent nearly a month in detention.
