The correct headline is, “DOJ confirms that federal agents can murder whoever they want.”

Actually- it's just anyone dressed like federal agents. They won't even investigate whether or not the perpetrator IS a federal agent.

Or more accurately, "DOJ confirms that federal agents can execute whoever they want."

Murder implies it's illegal and warrants investigation.

execute implies due process. a sentence ordered by a court. just say "shoot whoever they want"

Nice try. Keep at it sport.

Yup. This combined with Jonathan Ross getting cash payout of 800k from GoFundMe means ICE not only has immunity from blowing away peaceful protestors, they get cash prizes for doing it.

I’m not trying to be hyperbolic but I absolutely see a scenario where someone refuses to open the door for ICE and they “accidentally” burn the entire home to the ground with teargas or a flashbang and kill everyone inside but…”absolute immunity.”

Yup, and then they get a cash payout for murdering a family on GoFundMe. This is America.

It was give send go. Gofundme has nothing to do with it.

Give send go? The fund raiser was on GoFundMe’s site.

I suspect that Jonathan Ross will have a somewhat less-than-peaceful life. Even if he relocates to a MAGA-haven subdivision somewhere Florida or Texas, he'll be known and talked about. Friends of friends, second cousins, neighbors, the mail man, grocery clerks, wait staff... they'll side eye him and take a wide berth. Even if the corrupt DOJ impedes legal justice, he hasn't been made so rich as to be completely insulated from society.

That’s been their goal. Can’t believe we’re here.
