    Reminds me of 99% of Americans I’ve met. Including family

    “I don’t think the shooting was necessarily 100 percent justified,” Mr. DePoppe said.

    Mr. Dope

    “I can see both sides of it. Obviously when you drive into someone that has a gun pointed, that’s probably not the smartest idea. But at the same time, why do you have a gun pulled in that situation? And then to walk away on your body cam and be using foul language toward the person?”

    “I think it’s great to start to get some of the illegal immigrants out of the state,” he added. “I think it’s bad how they are going about it.”

    These folks would say the same thing about any atrocity and genocide happening to somebody else. No different than a German or pIssraeli saying “I can see both sides of it. I mean we really should be extermimating x. But jeez do we have to make a scene when doing so?”

    Mr. DePoppe had never seen an ICE agent in town. He said many residents see the Twin Cities — also known as “the Cities” in these parts — as almost another world. “Until something happens up here, it’s not a problem for anyone up here,” he said

    That’s the mentality of every right wing sack of shit. It’s happening to them, not to me. Until it happens to me, it isn’t real. Until it happens to me I won’t give a shit. If anything I’ll actually support the death machine and cheer for it like a game. Cheer on the nexus because the blood isn’t mine and I’ve never had to see the bodies crushed. And if the tormenters find you, then you had to have deserved it surely. If they find me, they’ve gone too far.

    … Sick fucking people in a sick fucking country. The sooner this place becomes ancient history the sooner the rest of the world can actually get along and do something good.

      That’s something out of fifth rate fiction. It really is a thing to behold. “In them parts - if you go to see a movie - they allow the colore— um… the black people to sit near you. Some of them aren’t even American. It ain’t natural.”

      Also - it’s amusing to me that the byline includes four reporters. It took four fuckers to report this shit? I wonder which of them is the failed novelist.
