@HassanKhadair Why don't you go to a country you like, rather than constantly hating on America and Americans?

@DrewLocks2 @SamsoniteMad @josh_seiter “Pretti and Good spread more hate into the world than I ever have” and “I don’t think I’m better than anyone else” are contradictory. Saying “I don’t care if people think I’m a good person or not” is a common and sad excuse for lacking accountability for words and actions

@invincinate @SamsoniteMad @josh_seiter You love to draw big conclusions from simple statements. I don’t think I’m this virtuous person or better than anyone else. I don’t care if people think I’m a good person or not.

@DrewLocks2 @SamsoniteMad @josh_seiter So someone’s worth is solely based on a single action? As holy as you seem to think you are, I doubt you are without sin. "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone"

@DrewLocks2 @SamsoniteMad @josh_seiter No, it DOES matter if you think it’s okay or not. Your thoughts drive your actions, which influence the world you live in, and if you aren’t bothered by the dehumanization of two Americans, YOU are contributing to the growing, festering hate in the world.

“Too many of you literally do not care about right and wrong anymore. You care about red and blue, and pretend those are synonymous with right and wrong.”
Spike Cohen@RealSpikeCohen

I've watched video of the shooting of Alex Pretti, from two angles. I saw no justification for this shooting. Based on what I saw, and my mind could change if I saw evidence to the contrary, I believe the agents who killed him should be prosecuted. The Trump administration is claiming they were the victims. And far too many people will watch that video and decide whether they agree with the killing or not based on who is President. If this were a conservative filming agents enforcing lockdowns or some other progressive thing, the people who are outraged and the people who are justifying it would almost completely swap places. This shooting, amd the reactions of so many, are just symptoms of a much bigger problem: Too many of you literally do not care about right and wrong anymore. You care about red and blue, and pretend those are synonymous with right and wrong. But team red and team blue are wrong far more often than they're right. Too many of you are actively participating in your own subjugation. Stop and think. Please. As for those of you who aren't falling for this, please pray for America. Too many of her citizens want people they hate to suffer slightly more than them, much more than they want a constitutionally-limited republican form of government.

@invincinate @SamsoniteMad @josh_seiter Just be sure to understand that they were the biggest cause of their own demise by being somewhere they had no reason to be and trying to virtue signal and antagonize federal agents instead of minding their own business

Using violence to force people to do what you think is good is the best way to instill in them revulsion for what you think is good

@DrewLocks2 @SamsoniteMad @josh_seiter Not a democrat, but okay. If objecting over someone mocking two Americans whose lives were unnecessarily ended makes me one, though, then so be it. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

@patriot_savvy Correct, and her killer was tried and sentenced to life in prison in accordance with the law. The same should be applied in all cases where a human life was unnecessarily taken.
