    Who cares if she was an activist. Nothing what happened that day merits an execution.

      The administration is characterizing her as an activist and an agitator, in order to try to retroactively justify her killing.

      This story is putting the lie to that statement.

      Fully agree. Even if she wpuld have been an activist fleeing from the place.

      Your instinct should not be to murder the person.

      In any other countries, there are warning shots fired first, then they shoot at the wheels, then they try to detain the car by using own cars. There is no way the right thing to do is to murder someone in the head as a first response.

        It wasn’t instinct, it was orders. They are pissed that vehicle blocking is working, and giving targets a longer head start to run. They wanted to send a message, so they were ordered to engineer a situation, then escalate it, and here we are.

        As usual, these Dumb Apes fuck up everything they do, and they botched the operation, and sent an entirely different message, which was not received well by America.

        So who sent these illegal orders? How far up the chain? I think we all know.

          btw, i’m not even sure she was trying to block anyone. in one video, you can see she waves and says “go around!” i think she was just trying to go the other way.

          edit - i don’t know that that is what happened, just that there’s now footage from the agent’s phone. can’t really use audio at work.

          still saw NOTHING justifying murder.

      incorrect

      the murderer who puts himself in harm’s way, got out of that way, and then pulled a gun and shot a woman in the face, that deserves execution
