There is no longer any justice in America.

The Department of Justice is instead moving to investigate Good’s widow
Jesus fucking Christ, the nerve of these people
the cruelty is the point
This is the 'Flood the Zone' strategy used by Russia and promoted by Bannon in the last Trump admin.
It doesn't matter if it is bullshit, in fact it is always bullshit that drives outrage. They keep doing it enough so that the news is clogged up reporting on bullshit and the algorithms are recommending bullshit instead of covering important stories in depth.
It has leaked that ICE agents are terrified of blowback from this murder: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigration-agents-terrified-by-ice
Yeah of course they're cowards. Keep the pressure on, don't let them sleep at night.
I'm reminded of how justice is served on the ice in a hockey game. If a player executes an illegal, dangerous hit on another player, especially if the victim is the goalie or a star player, and the refs don't call shit, then that guy is about to get his ass beat.
There will be consequences, even if the DoJ refuses to act. The heat is rising on this cold civil war. When trump crowns himself head of the fed and slashes interest rates, and when the dollar crashes soon thereafter, shit's gonna get crazy.
I'm also predicting that somebody high up in this administration refers to America as an "empire" and then a "realm" and possibly just straight up a "reich" within this year.
That seems to be the thing the administration fails to understand, accountability through apparent investigations and prosecutions mollify the anger. Even if consequences are by any reasonable measure are mild, people are still mollified at an acknowledgement of wrong doing. Deny them this, and the anger rises...
Similarly, being able to lose an election has similar value. Your opponents "won" they don't need to extract more out of you. Deny them that and again people are going to potentially break.
Anecdotally, I know of a few people that seem shockingly close to violent uprising that I never would have guessed. I can't imagine the volume of people closer to extreme views and when they will snap..
So what good are they then, and why should American citizens pay to keep them around?
Yea, where is the call to not file taxes this year? We need a movement that calls for it so the few that do are not attacked. If you don't expect a refund then we should just not file.
If we are expecting a refund would it be more impactful to file and receive that refund or to simply not participate?
Doesn't seem to have the 4500 new people's data leaked from yesterday.
This is pretty much what I expected from this scum administration.
The real depressing news is in the linked article, where a survey showed only 53% of respondents thought the shooting was unjustified (35% thought it was justified, rest gave no opinion). I don't understand how you see that video and come away with any other conclusion unless you're just being actively partisan.
Key here is respondents, I never respond, I don't know anyone who takes these surveys, the only people who pick up and agree to surveys are on landlines and usually old, hardly a real representation of the feeling of the majority
over half of Americans say the shooting was unjustified.
That's a low bar to pass if I've ever seen one.
When the people don't get justice through legal means, they have no choice but to seek it through illegal means.
Time for Minnesota to handle it. You can’t say “we can’t and you can’t either” (granted that’s what they’ll try to say)
Uhhh... uh oh. Considering the immediate and widespread outrage response across the country from this very public murder, this is a boldly stupid move. Resentment and distrust of the US government is already at an all time high, and doubling down on an extrajudicial murder like this is only going to not only grow that resentment, but popularize the idea that if the people want justice, they'll have to do it themselves. This administration has been making some especially stupid moves recently and I don't think the world is prepared for the consequences. Like yeah, sure, the trump admin has always blahblahblah, no shit. I must emphasize that this particular term of the administration hasn't even been this stupid until the last few months. They are very much so overplaying their hand right now and they are absolutely not in a position to handle this level of escalation. I'm pretty sure they both think they have way more control than they actually do and have way too much faith in very inadequate contingencies. They're gonna continue having the appearance of being firmly in control, but at this rate, it's just a matter of time before it blows up in their face and then no one is in control. I can't emphasize enough how unprepared we all are for how quickly that will happen when it does.

They don’t give a shit, they want us to try. They’re fucking daring us. Like, actually; literally.
Since we're impeaching Noem, then we must also impeach Bondi and Blanche. This administration is a horrific, shameful disgrace!
I find it highly unlikely that Republicans will vote to impeach/convict one of their own. The impeachment charges are little more than theater, which is sadly all the elected Democrats in the House and Senate are in a position to do. I'm afraid that the resolution to this constitutional crisis is in the hands of the people, not their elected representatives.
They want a reason to invoke Martial Law. You know what I just realized? You can't insult them, they feed on it. The same way they feed on violence. Ya know what did work on them?
WEIRD
They had no rebuke to being called weird. It started to work as they fought to make a sensible retort. Everything they tried made them sound even sillier. It was working!
We should do the physical version of that. Turn a mirror on them and embarrass them. Think Mark Rober style of traps. If every porch they smashed had a chance to unleash fart spray on their clothes and equipment, for instance, they might hesitate. Meeting such a thing, especially if automated and filmed, might just make some of that shame seep in.
Just pointing and laughing loudly infuriates the more than anything, they want a tough guy confrontation
Don't accept this answer. There must be an investigation as the public demands it. These jokers just don't get it.
Oh they get it. They do not care because the person that was harmed was not one of them. Even then…the number of faces eaten by leopards is staggering
If Americans against Trump don’t seriously rise up over this - woman shot in the face x3 for nothing, ICE Gestapo acting as judge, jury and executioner - the US is over. There’s no difference between her state sanctioned murder and being disappeared in any Banana Republic.
Seems like someone needs to "investigate" the DOJ then. It likely won't be the democrats, will it be the people?
You spelled guillotine incorrectly there...
Great! Hand over everything you have on the incident to the state of Minnesota.
Since when does the DoJ base their decisions on how to enforce the law on public opinion? What the ever loving f**k kind of law is that? Oh, the fake kind they make up as they go along.
I think Minneapolis would be a great location for the new Nuremberg trials
Wait, did anyone really think they would?
There was a slim chance they might intentionally bomb the case so he'd be found not guilty and couldn't be tried later.
At this point, we should form an alternative government of the United States as a micronation (similar to Molossia or Austenasia). Seriously!
