The US seems to be on fast forward to something very nasty.

The suspect was fully kitted out in full police panoply including a vehicle fully done up like a cop car but wasn't a cop?  Either an incredibly dedicated Cop LARPer or... perhaps something more likely.

Yeah, colour me sceptical.

I read they are cancelling the No Kings protests in Minnesota because of these killings? That would be unwise. "Want to silence us? Most efficient is to use lethal force".

Obviously CC was exaggerating  ut we do seem to have several posters who appear overly concerned with other people's property. Similar to how I'd early noted about Languish wanting people to stand up in the US and when a few do, the condemnation was swift in favor of protecting property.

And that's not to say we should cheer on destruction but that shouldn't be the only thing up for discussion / used as a negation of legitimate grievances.

I'm not sure what you are arguing here. The reason destruction of property is under discussion right now is that Zoupa was cheering it on. He can't say why how thinks that helps the anti-ICE movement, because even he knows that it only hurts.

Luckily for the movement, it is pretty clear that Zoupas are rare on the ground in LA.

So far, Trump has not shown much respect for state powers.

True, but the power I mentioned was federal, not state. Trump isn't going to try to usurp the power of states to enforce state laws against murder. Stephan Miller will probably try to argue for that but that will be to much for even the US Barbie General.

I'm assuming that this will go largely uncommented on my sisters' facebook pages.

Snitches get stitches.

  I knew you couldn't do so.  This is so Languish.

The US seems to be on fast forward to something very nasty.

It was apparently a single gunman, and they have his car so know who he is. He was impersonating a police officer.

Luckily, he will be charged by the state so Trump will have no chance to pardon him.
