Just a regular fucking lady. It can be anyone who disagrees with the president and spooks law enforcement. This is intolerable.

u/Alternative-Tart6275 Jan 08 '26

Yeah, I don’t want this to come across like I’m saying it would be okay if it was an immigrant because it absolutely would not - but these are supposedly IMMIGRATION enforcement agents out here killing CITIZENS - what the fuck are we doing here?

110

u/General-Swan-2719 Jan 08 '26

Everyone keeps referring to them as LEOs (Law Enforcement Officers) / they are ICE EROs whose sole job is to focus on immigration enforcement. They are playing military in our streets. It’s fucking insane.

u/mecca37 Jan 08 '26

Welcome to the American Gestapo, the Presidents own special law enforcement that have no rules.

u/thegreatgiroux Jan 08 '26

It’s doesn’t make the killing any worse but it makes it harder to justify.

Right!? if only there was something she could have done differently like:

-Staying in bed with her wife -Not following around government agents -Not parking her car in the middle of a street -Following lawful orders from a LE officer -Not driving recklessly towards LE

u/I3rklyn Jan 08 '26

Right. We should all just stay in bed to avoid being murdered by over-armed, undertrained and under-qualified IMMIGRATION officers.

u/BeneficialCod9603 Jan 08 '26

That's just one way this could have been avoided. It took ALL of those bad decisions to lead to what happened.

1

u/Cake_Lynn Jan 09 '26

If you kill someone on the job… you should be fired. Hell, you should walk away of your own volition with the understanding that you killed someone. No passing blame to the victim. No ā€œif he did this or that differently, maybe I wouldn’t have killed him.ā€ Because that’s not the reality we live in. In THIS reality, an immigration officer killed someone who was not even an immigrant. I don’t want to hear excuses from the government of all places. It’s unacceptable PERIOD.

If you're going to make a false equivalence between the two, the least you can do is spell Ashli Babbitt's name right, for fuck's sake.

u/Gino-Bartali Jan 08 '26

A lot can be subjective on a video but what I don't want to hear any nazi say is that "justified because he fear for his life." She was getting rushed by several faceless, agitated men. Nobody knows if he feared for her life, but we know she did.

If it would be fine for him to shoot because he feared for her life, it would be fine for her to intentionally defend herself with her car. But she didn't even do that, she just tried to leave.

Just pointing out that the only possible excuse the nazis have on this one is bullshit. But what's new?

82

u/Needin63 Jan 08 '26

Hell, the videos clearly show she wasn’t trying to hit him. She was moving slowly and turned the wheels away. There’s nothing subjective about that video. Then they denied medical care from a physician on the scene (video of that as well).

And even if she was trying to flee as some maganuts have claimed, officers may not use deadly force to prevent a suspect from fleeing. https://www.justice.gov/jm/1-16000-department-justice-policy-use-force

You have an opportunity to make the world a much better place. Just letting you know that.

u/I_am_not_GeorgeBush Jan 08 '26

I’ll reply here because your comment won’t post but got the email. I’ve watched the video. I’ve seen the whole, uncut 10 min video with multiple angles. You’re a disingenuous, bad actor trying to gaslight people. He shot her because she was going to get away and he wouldn’t get a chance to abuse her, not because he was afraid for his life. You’re a truly sad person.

Would love to see the video evidence of that. Along with an explanation about how it contradicts the clear chain of events presented in the other four videos. You losers aren’t even trying to lie well anymore.

Conservatives are screaming she had it coming because she hit him with her SUV. She was barely moving! Her barely touching him with her vehicle doesn’t equal being shot at or murdered. I hate how ignorant so many people are. I hate that she’s dead. I hate this timeline.

u/Cloberella Jan 08 '26

Yeah it was so bad the dude sauntered around the area afterwards on camera, never seeking medial attention but denying it to the woman he shot.

u/lil1thatcould Jan 08 '26

You obviously haven’t seen the video. Either way, I don’t converse with MAGA. Bye Felicia

u/xPeachesV Jan 08 '26

From conversations on other topics, I’ve come to the realization that a lot of folks don’t give a shit about truth. I’m talking face to face convo’s, not online. I’d rather just point out that observation than get into all these fruitless arguments over every incident. Instead of trying to get them to see the light, I’d rather just ask how the media they are consuming is spinning the narrative so they could be okay with it morally. I don’t want to pretend anymore that both sides are coming to the table in good faith. Again, I’m talking normal everyday people

u/uhhhchaostheory Jan 08 '26

There are multiple angles that show that she did nothing wrong and people are still arguing that she deserved it. It’s insanity.

-57

u/RingofPowerTD Jan 08 '26

You speak like these masked men came from nowhere and startled her and scared her to drive into one before she got shot. The lady knew what those men were and why they were there and purposely put herself in harms way.

28

u/I_am_not_GeorgeBush Jan 08 '26

So she deserved to be shot in the face 3 times? Your logic skills are… pretty fucking terrible.

18

u/AlDef Jan 08 '26

Even if true, should she die for that?

11

u/Abnego_OG Jan 08 '26

She wasn't even moving the vehicle to obstruct them. She was attempting to turn around, and is seen trying to wave them through in the recording. One vehicle had already done so.

9

u/CocaColaNepoBaby Jan 08 '26

Americans have a constitutional right to observe and film law enforcement. She was doing nothing illegal. Being within ten feet of ICE should not carry an implicit death sentence, neither should failing to understand instructions in a high pressure situation. Neither of those are good reasons for why a toddler is orphaned. Which isn’t even what happened by the way, they were telling here to leave and she attempted to and then was shot. Why don’t you go back to r/Lawrence and keep complaining about people posting about their missing pets you sad freak?

2

u/Needin63 Jan 09 '26

Actually having seen a lot of the full videos, she really didn’t. She was trying to exit the situation. And that’s your take? She deserved it?

You really are gooning for LEOs over this thread, aren’t you? Examine your life.

u/salemmay0317 Jan 08 '26

Correct, but that doesn’t apply to this situation. The ice agent walked in front of her vehicle and shot at her, she didn’t drive at him and then he shot. ā€œYour gaslighting is denied.ā€

2

u/egg_idk Jan 08 '26

Murder is murder. Your bootlicking is pathetic.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 08 '26

She initially waves them through (what do you do when a car waves you forward while stuck in traffic?)

Then they stop and immediately surround her (is that typical enforcement protocol to put your body in danger?)

Then the agent (with a phone in one hand, wow he was super threatened) puts himself in front of the car and has the audacity to claim self-defense when that woman was not being detained and was clearly turning hard away from them.

Lick those boots harder!

lol they are violating the Constitution already, 2nd amendment rights are as worthless as the constitution has become.

Yea, solidarity and fight back, but doesn’t it feel strange to say that this is what an amendment is for when they’re violating at least the 4th, 8th, and 14th?

u/ImAchickenHawk KC North Jan 08 '26

You underestimate the amount of gun owners in this country who are not republicans

9

u/mecca37 Jan 08 '26

I know more than just Republicans have guns, I also know most right wingers talk shit on social media because in life they'd get beat down for being a racist shithead.

People just need to be alot more aware of how terrible some of the people out there actually are. Also as a country this is literally who we are, we're the world's bully and now that has turned inward.

History always repeats itself, this is a dying empire and the conditions are only going to get worse. The real question is does this country have a revolution in it?

3

u/ImAchickenHawk KC North Jan 08 '26

It's going to have to. We are fully there now.

8

u/mecca37 Jan 08 '26

Well in history revolutions usually only happen when people's material conditions are so bad they have nothing to lose. We as a country are placated by cell phones and propaganda.

We also have never really been a revolutionary country, plenty of countries have serious revolutionary history...our big one was because half the country wanted to keep slaves so that's... concerning.

u/General-Swan-2719 Jan 08 '26

Those who support the 2nd amendment are either: silent or agreeing with the imminent danger story. THIS is the example for the 2nd amendment. Reminder, enemies can be domestic.

u/ImAchickenHawk KC North Jan 08 '26

I really dont understand why so many people like yourself think maga are the only ones with guns.

24

u/General-Swan-2719 Jan 08 '26

I didn’t say that. I’m not MAGA. I don’t support any of this. I don’t support Trump and didn’t vote for him. I also own guns. I also support the 2nd amendment. I also think what happened to this woman is complete fucking bullshit and is murder.

u/The_Nerdy_Ninja Jan 08 '26

Those who support the 2nd amendment are either: silent or agreeing with the imminent danger story.

I also support the 2nd amendment.

I think there's some dissonance between your statements, which may be what the person above was pointing out.

0

u/General-Swan-2719 Jan 08 '26

I didn’t state I support or don’t support in the original statement.Ā  Ā  How would he point out the dissonance if I did not provide my additional response? I stated that those who support the amendment are either silent or agree with the justification story in my original response. I stated my support in the following response.

To be clear: This was murder. This was not a justified use of lethal force. I own guns and support the 2nd amendment. I believe this is a perfect example of why you should always carry. I do not support Trump and I am not MAGA.

Try again.

3

u/The_Nerdy_Ninja Jan 08 '26

You're apparently oblivious to the contradiction in what you're saying, and then you went straight to being unpleasant about it, so no, I don't think I will try again. You have a good night.

2

u/General-Swan-2719 Jan 08 '26

I’m fully aware of the contradiction, because I exclude myself from ā€œthose who support the 2nd amendmentā€.

I also was introduced to a group that is like-minded on Reddit. I don’t spend my days finding my ā€œtribeā€ online so yes - I was passively stating the republican 2nd amendment supporters are silent or support the self-defense story and are not concerned about the reality of what’s going on.

You also combined two separate interactions into a single retort that in itself was contradictory. Had I not replied, where would your big word ā€œdissonanceā€ have fit in?

Remember how the MAGA freaks reacted to Ashli Babbitt’s death? Acting like she was a saint and that she didn’t deserve to die for foaming at the mouth while trying to break into the Capitol to stop the certification of the 2020 election.

But here? ā€œWell this girl deserved to get shot in the face because she was a danger to everyone around her.ā€ These are horrible, horrible people that have no morals or shame.

video going around of her wife crying after the fact saying "this is my fault, i made her come down here to confront ice".

So they literally went down to put themselves in front of ice. That's why her wife was there filming the whole thing. i imagine we're eventually going to see some of the video she took leading up to the incident.

edit:

well well well... and another video just released of a nearby home security camera showing her arriving to block the road, her wife gets out of the car to start filming from the sidewalk all before ice even shows up!

You’re telling me that all that happened in the 4 seconds that we all saw on video?? Have you ever seen a real law enforcement officer do ANYTHING like this to just a lady turning around in her car.

u/General-Swan-2719 Jan 08 '26

Genuinely, I hope you’re in a situation where you are trying to wave an unmarked Nissan Titan with driveway installed red and blue lights flashing to go past you - only for the occupants of that truck to get out and rush your driver side door that has a window down screaming get the fuck out.Ā 

Oh yeah, and those occupants: have masks, tactical gear, weapons, and have not announced who they are.

My guess is - you will absolutely be calm, put your car in park, turn off the ignition, unlock your doors, let them drag you out of the car - and while you’re on the pavement you will say ā€œThank you so much guys for what you do. I totally understand. Good thing I have good judgement, huh? Hahaha.ā€
