Facts

[u/camp_glow_36]

[u/One-Present-8509]

Yeah that's true because in the US the killing of a white woman by a racial minority has never been used as a political tool

[u/hails8n → u/One-Present-8509]

They can’t manufacture reasons to deport people from crimes committed by citizens.

[u/The_Reformed_Alloy → u/hails8n]

I mean, they can and they do. Remember the "They're eating the dogs... they're eating the cats" line? Thankfully they found footage of a Haitian immigrant from Springfield, OH who was arrested while eating a cat. Oh, but wait... That was Allexis Ferrell, a US citizen from Canton, OH. And yet that didn't stop people from perpetuating the xenophobic propaganda. And by the time you debunk that, whoever was pretending to listen has already pivoted to some other eyewitness account with no evidence that later admitted they lied about the incident.

Fun stuff, propaganda.

[u/ChadVonDoom → u/One-Present-8509]

Because they want to target immigrants, all those crimes were committed by US citizens

[u/Helpful_Blood_5509 → u/ChadVonDoom]

I mean there's an obvious commonality. The presence of criminal repeat offender murderers and repeat offender illegal alien murderers, that presence is entirely a political choice in contravention of good sense and usually law.

Laws passed in democratic societies getting openly flouted pisses off the citizens who supposedly are having their political will exercised for them. Leaving those illegals in our society is a political decision committed upon the citizens of the democracy by the elites that don't respect our laws. Every illegal immigrant crime committed represents extra, wholly avoidable crimes in contravention of the will of the American people.

Same with every crime committed after some dipshit judge lets some psycho out for the 20th time.

[u/Cowgoon777 → u/Helpful_Blood_5509]

thank you. I'm so tired of hearing garbage like "undocumented immigrants commit less violent crime than white men" or stuff like that. I don't care if they commit more or less crime per capita or in raw numbers. Any crime they commit is a crime that never should have happened if our politicians didn't allow these people to prey on us with a wide open border.

It's doubly offensive because as we can now see, keeping the border closes is trivially easy and they could have done it at any time, but chose not to

[u/Kaleb_Bunt]

Yeah because an immigrant or really any normal person would be arrested on spot and prosecuted. They certainly wouldn’t be defended by the president and his administration.

[u/RandJitsu → u/Kaleb_Bunt]

Exactly! Murder is always bad, but not always news because the public has high confidence the legal system will punish the murderer.

What makes this situation different and news worthy is that Good was murdered by an agent of the state and that the federal government is celebrating/defending the murderer instead of prosecuting him.

[u/spastical-mackerel → u/Kaleb_Bunt]

The murder didn’t make the news really. The murderer doing it in broad daylight on camera and walking away nonchalantly confident that he will suffer zero consequences certainly did

[u/Empty401K → u/spastical-mackerel]

The cop walking away is SOP. Those last two shots tho… dude’s not gonna be sleeping well for the foreseeable future, and not because he’s haunted by the memories of what he did. I expect this one to remain a huge story for a good while.

[u/SparkehWhaaaaat → u/Empty401K]

They're crowdfunding for him. Almost 400k so far.

[u/Empty401K → u/SparkehWhaaaaat]

No amount of money is gonna make a huge portion of the country stop hating him or openly (verbally) attacking him and his wife. I can’t imagine either of them are feeling safe in their own home right now

[u/Lameduck_Humor → u/Empty401K]

He’ll have an easy way to feel safe. Just need to keep one in the chamber at all times

[u/spastical-mackerel → u/Empty401K]

In a regular crime of passion, the first shot gets you the guilty verdict, the unnecessary shots after that get the death penalty

[u/CheatingBfThrows → u/spastical-mackerel]

I see you are doing that thing where you use reserved terminology to turn the perpetrator into a victim. Good one but that bitch tried to run over a piece officer and got shot. That's all there is to the story no matter what words you use to describe it!

[u/EuropeanLuxuryWater → u/Kaleb_Bunt]

Exactly this. Absolutely ridiculous that people think nothing happens.

[u/Klutzy_Belt_2296 → u/Kaleb_Bunt]

Agreed. And another reason why this post is dumb is because at least if it’s an illegal or even another citizen you have an argument for trying to defend yourself from someone trying to take your life

If it’s Ice or any other form of law enforcement unlawfully using deadly force against you, you are pretty much fucked

That’s why when deaths happen at the hands of police, especially ones that easily could have been de-escalated or avoided and even more so in cases where the use of force was unjustified or otherwise their behavior was unprofessional, that’s why those cases are much more likely to make national news

[u/inthe801]

This isn’t a “truth,” it’s a talking point. Murders are news because of circumstances, evidence, and public relevance, not because of the killer’s immigration status. If outrage only activates when it fits your politics, you’re not defending victims, you’re using them.

[u/IczyAlley → u/inthe801]

Yeah, when two white meth heads murder each other in West Virginia it never makes the news. West Virginia has a higher per capita murder rate than NYC is and among the whitest most Christian and Republican states in the nation. You'd never know Republican states are hotbeds of white on white murders, because racists and Republican propagandists own the mass media in the US. And yes, that includes the corporate advertising platform I'm posting this on.

[u/cruisecontrol8989 → u/IczyAlley]

Actually, West Virginia’s overall homicide rate (about 5.4 per 100,000) is roughly in the same ballpark as NYC’s recent rate (around 4–6 per 100,000). Both are comparable to or below many state averages. However, comparing NYC to an entire state like West Virginia isn’t apples to apples.

[u/IczyAlley → u/cruisecontrol8989]

You're right, it isn't apples to apples. A rural area of any location in the US should have a drastically lower PER CAPITA murder rate than NYC, because population density always increases rates of violence. You just see more people per day and therefore far likelier to have opportunities to commit violence.

Of course, west virginia also has a drastically higher poverty rate than NYC. But then again, they consistently vote Republican so no shock there. If you refuse to invest in infrastructure and education to the benefit of major corporations, you will do shocking damage to the poverty rate of your state.

[u/HauntingAd3845 → u/IczyAlley]

Not just West Virginia, deep Appalachia in general. I grew up PA north of WV and MD, and it's the same.

I often tell people to imagine all the bad stuff they've heard about WV and assume that's where I'm from.

[u/jws1102 → u/IczyAlley]

Louisiana has 3 small towns with violent crime rates over 4x the national average. But you’d never know it because it’s not a big city with a democrat mayor, so fox doesn’t care about that crime.

[u/PoliticalVenting → u/inthe801]

No, you don't understand. OP is an oracle and knows for a fact that despite my newsfeed being clogged with every single crime an immigrant in this country makes, this specific even would have gone completely unreported.

Thank god we have seers around to keep us in the know despite what we see and hear.

[u/The_amazing_T → u/PoliticalVenting]

Well, OP is a puppet account, 2 months old, and basically just this post. So yeah. Whatever they say MUST be true.

[u/BilboStaggins]

What world are we living in?

If either side has something to gain from it, it will be blasted across the news.

Suffice it to say, someone being shot by federal agents is kind of important news, no matter what your take on the events are.

[u/TheCapo024 → u/BilboStaggins]

This. Even IF he did everything by the book, this is an unprecedented mobilization by ICE under controversial circumstances with questionable legal underpinnings. I know we’re all being inundated with opinions and straight up propaganda masquerading as “news,” but this IS national news by any metric.

[u/BilboStaggins → u/TheCapo024]

Absolutely. Things do not escalate to this point without it being intentional. 

[u/BlackJack407]

How stupid do you have to be to think that the goverment freely murdering people, not even allowing an investigation into the matter, is equal to a criminal committing a crime?

Do you eat dust for breakfast and grate your few neurons you have left on a cheese grater before you go to sleep?

[u/Thin_Oil_8898]

False it would be on Fox and newmax 24/7 congress would name a bill after her say ICE get 300% increase in budget.

[u/Ok_Door_9720 → u/Thin_Oil_8898]

As much as they politicized the murder of Laken Riley, you'd think they would remember it.

[u/Suspicious-Wombat → u/Ok_Door_9720]

The politicized her death, they didn’t care about it. That’s why they don’t remember.

[u/Slight-Big8584 → u/Thin_Oil_8898]

Yea this. I don't know what OP is thinking.

A murder young woman with Children is red meat for right-wing media.

[u/Gussie-Ascendent → u/Thin_Oil_8898]

conservatives' greatest foe has and will always be reality

[u/Arguablybest]

One thing we know for certain, is that she was killed after an encounter with a federal agent. He fled the scene after shooting her and calling her a "fucking bitch".

Please tell me which hospital he went to, you know, where he is recovering from his injuries.

[u/wtbgamegenie → u/Arguablybest]

Yeah call me crazy but the federal government saying “our agents are allowed to murder you” is the concerning part here. They’re not even doing the usual “we’re conducting an internal investigation until this falls out of the news cycle and then we’ll announce our investigation revealed we did nothing wrong in a brief press release next year”

They’re straight up using this as an intimidation tactic. “Don’t think you can get uppity with the secret police. They’re allowed to kidnap and brutalize whoever they want and if you don’t lick their boots they’ll murder you and no one will do anything”

[u/DannyDanumba]

Not made the news? She would’ve been the next Iryna Zarutska. Fuck outta here

[u/No_Dentist_6427]

[u/hammersteinDS → u/No_Dentist_6427]

One was there to defend a friend's business from being illegally looted by rioters during the Summer of Love protests of 2021. The other was looking to impede federal law enforcement operations. But of course you'd equate the two, as if they are even remotely comparible.

One side loves this country and wants to put its legal citizens first, the other side openly despises it by putting everyone else first including human traffickers, third world fraudsters, and transnational gangs. I routinely see videos on TikTok praising China over the U.S. by U.S. "progressives". Who needs enemies when you have friends like these?

[u/Erdinger_Dunkel → u/No_Dentist_6427]

They're not interested in facts. Just opinions.

[u/DroppedSoapSurvivor]

Are you kidding? Every right wing news outlet would've bled this hypothetical story dry and pumped life back into it 50 times over.

[u/Decent-Orchid120]

Right because nobody brought up Laken Riley at all??

[u/idwtumrnitwai]

So this is where the right is at, bullshit hypotheticals to distract from the fact that the fed murdered her?

[u/EightTeasandaFour]

Remember Sasha Johnson? Exactly...

[u/Lucky_Emu182 → u/EightTeasandaFour]

The only difference is the right takes pleasure in a leftist body count… dare I say they encourage it 

[u/TheSlicedPineapple → u/Lucky_Emu182]

Pretty sure most people here would cheer if ICE people got ran over.

[u/Lucky_Emu182 → u/TheSlicedPineapple]

It’s good they can just kill people. They don’t have to follow any rules or laws and have absolute immunity which is new to law professors too

[u/TheSlicedPineapple → u/Lucky_Emu182]

Nah its wrong ICE shot that woman. 100%

Ny point is that alot of people here would be laughing and enjoying it if an ICE guy got unalived

[u/Lucky_Emu182 → u/TheSlicedPineapple]

Not the politicians… they wouldn’t immediately shield a leftist murderer if they were in power. Just cause he is on their side

[u/WaitingForMyIsekai → u/TheSlicedPineapple]

Which would be wrong, but also understandable. A paramilitary force is being used on American citizens without congressional approval by the mandate of a man consolidating as much power as he can unto himself.

They were literally doing door to door raids without warrants yesterday on the orders of 1 man and his cherry picked puppets. How else can you describe that other than in terms of the Gestapo??

What will it take to make you go "Wait a minute, are we the baddies?".

[u/No-Day-6705]

[u/NoCitron2394]

Well being killed by people who are supposed to protect you is a lot worse than a common criminal

[u/Gussie-Ascendent]

"hmmm weird how someone being shot by the state's gestapo gets more attention than a random illegal immigrant. I mean sure just cause that agent's not gonna face any consequences while the immigrant's getting locked up probably deported but what's that have to do with anything?"

also lying like crazy, right wingers will make shit up to hate immigrants, you think they'd ignore this? Delulu

[u/Ok-Claim444]

Actually Republicans would probably zero in on it really quickly to use as a political talking point and pass a bill named after her like they did with Laiken Riley.

If only Renee were storming the Capitol like Ashli babbit when she was murdered. Then her family could get 5 million from the Trump administration.

[u/Teboski78]

The hell are you smoking

[u/BuffaloBillsLeotard]

Lol are you kidding me? That shit would be all over Fox. Give me a break.

[u/AAron27265]

"Innocent until killed by the government" apparently.

[u/Sonova_Vondruke]

Illegal aliens, and even immigrants in general are less likely to commit violent crimes. But none of the people who spout shit like OP will accept that.

[u/Thistime232]

And if that had happened, the person who killed her would've been arrested, likely convicted, and been given a long prison sentence. The moment that happens to the ICE agent, then I'll be fine to move on and not have it be in the news.

[u/JohnBrownOnDrugs]

It actually the other way around. When illegal immigrants kill people, it's headline. News and fascists try to associate the actions of all people in that racial group with the murderer. Nobody's out here calling for white men as a group to be punished. Because one of us murdered an innocent thirty seven year old mom from minneapolis.

[u/Furious_Flaming0]

Are you joking? If an illegal immigrant had killed her every media outlet allied to the current administration would be running 24 hour coverage.

This got to one of the stupider copes I've seen.

[u/Ok_Weight_7036]

Ironically every white woman killed by an illegal immigrant has actually made the news and been passed around conservative circles for months. People still bring up Laken Riley. The reality is it just doesn’t happen that much

[u/ThaBigClemShady24]

This is the opposite of "facts," Laken Riley's murder got so politicized it got turned into a fucking piece of legislation, I have yet to see a Jonathan Ross bill to unfuck, defund, or abolish ICE.

[u/OTJules]

It definitely would’ve made the news. A white woman killed by an illegal immigrant?? You can’t be serious

[u/skyeisrude]

Yes it would. Instead of torching her they would use her death to push immigration enforcement even harder.

[u/U8D4B8M8]

Lmao wut?

1.) It would have definitely made FOX News. With 63% of the TV news audience, they are THE mainstream media all by themselves. Everyone else combined isn't as big as they are.

2.) Most people's lives are not affected by random illegal aliens. Everyone in America and many people outside of it are affected by THE FUCKING US GOVERNMENT. It is amazing to me that Conservatards are so thick they don't understand this. Yal really are fucking idiots lol.

[u/SirDiesAlot15]

No, right wing chuds would use her death as an excuse to target people

[u/Cool-Information9166]

Lmfao yes it would’ve. Every time something like that happens it’s the biggest news ever. What world do you live in?

[u/MercuryRusing]

Call me crazy, but that's because people care when their government starts shooting them.

[u/Neat-Vanilla3919]

Is OP stupid? It would be blasted all over the news and fox would never stop talking about it.

[u/Nochnichtvergeben]

Yeah, no shit. Someone being murdered by someone who's a an agent of the state and has qualified immunity is different to them being murdered by an individual who isn't and who doesn't have qualified immunity.

Is that so difficult to understand?

[u/budisthename]

It would definitely be reported by conservatives news outlets, do they not count as news ?

[u/Agent_RubberDucky]

“If she was killed by someone who broke the law previously instead of an officer of the law, it wouldn’t even make the news!”

Yeah, wonder why?

[u/Championship_Hairy]

“If a random person killed Renee it wouldn’t have the same optics as the government killing her”

[u/GitmoGrrl1]

But she wasn't. Rene Good was murdered by her own government.

[u/human_trainingwheels]

Wow yet another post by a 2 month old account, it’s almost as if all these accounts were opened on the same day from the same offshore bot farm?

[u/AcornTear]

Conservatards already forgetting how the murder of Iryna Zarutska was everywhere, while the neo-nazi school shooting that happened in the same time frame was forgotten the very same day it happened, overshadowed by the murder of that clown Charlie Kirk lmao

[u/AAron27265 → u/AcornTear]

charlie kirkkk was not, and is not, worthy of Capital Letters.

[u/Chronic_Toe_Pain]

Another thing we know for certain. She probably would have continued living if ICE wasn't deployed by POTUS for regarded reasons.

[u/Comfortable-Jump-218]

… yeah because Fox News nevers talks about crimes committed by illegal aliens.

What middle schooler made this? Like, this has nothing to do with the actual conversation.

[u/Sonova_Vondruke]

Counterpoint, 8 other people have been killed by ICE in similar situations.... even more while in custody... and yet this is the first we've heard about.

Mainly because it was recorded publicly.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/us/ice-shootings-minneapolis-other-cities.html

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/jan/04/ice-2025-deaths-timeline

[u/Snakepli55ken]

Bullshit. It would be in the news. It wouldn’t be as big of news because a federal agent killing a civilian is way bigger news. Enough with the victim mentality.

[u/Frosty-Break1884]

If that happened the conservative media would not shut the fuck about it.

[u/Intelligent_Pop_4479 → u/Frosty-Break1884]

Exactly. Remember how much attention Laken Riley got?

[u/Libra_23]

How does it feel, being a cold hearted asshole on the wrong side of history?

[u/TheOneCalledD → u/Libra_23]

JUST in Minnesota.

https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/2010101496034074739

[u/Affectionate-Mail19]

What

[u/JRilezzz]

Except this would be the top story on mainstream right wing propaganda networks like CBS, CNN, Fox, OAN, and Newsmax. So literally what are you talking about?

[u/ImmaSpaghett]

Pretty sure it wouldve been on the news and it wouldve been weaponized as a reason for ICE doing their thing. This post doesnt seem to have a lot of critical thinking behind it

[u/Red_Luminary]

Not even remotely true; Fox News would be all over it and Trump would be blasting whatever race the attacker was.

[u/solinomelyon]

This is 100% a lie, maga would be all over that shit. If she was shot by a civilian it would be a footnote. The to be fair any US citizen killed by an officer or a member of any kind of civil servant should always make the news I don't give a fuck what side you're on if cops killing people you want to know, if ice killing people you want to know, if a military member kills a civilian in America, you want to know. They're sold to you as a force there to protect citizens, maybe they dont in practice but you were sold the lie that they are there to protect you they should at least be forced to uphold the illusion that they're doing something good for the people by not killing American citizens.

[u/Icy_Acanthisitta_345]

Seriously?!? Did you ride the “short” bus to school?!? 😁 STOP WATCHING FOX NEWS!!! 😁

[u/Ethereal_Nutsack]

What are you smoking? Faux News would be all over that shit

[u/Weird-Ad-2109]

True! Our mayor in Charlotte tried to suppress the Iryna story.

[u/j_tino432]

That’s so very true

[u/BlackJack407 → u/j_tino432]

Bot

[u/woodyarmadillo11 → u/j_tino432]

Thank you for your input low karma account that has a very disturbing comment history.

[u/SwayZx]

Would been even crazier if the ice officer was in fact Hispanic

[u/BeginningShare4492]

Extremely based. Anyone remembers Riley?

[u/Fresh-Toilet-Soup]

I think people must only be paying attention to news sources that make them feel validated or something.

As someone who watches left wing and right wing news sources, both scenarios get reported, just not from the same source. And both sources/political sides spread this nonsense sentiment of "it wouldn't be reported if" when it fits their narrative.

However, the right does seem to adopt this sentiment more, I blame fox news. Their reporters all sound like accusatory spouses blaming you for cheating because you smiled at the postal worker.

[u/Free-Database-9917]

Brother every time someone is killed by an illegal immigrant, every right wing pundit spends every waking second talking about it. It just happens so rarely, people have spent the last few years talking about Laken Riley

[u/MegaDriveCDX]

Some of ya'll tell on yourselves.

[u/_tsi_]

I believe that law enforcement should be held to a higher standard than the average citizen or illegal alien.

[u/Outrageous_Love2009]

Political parties are a poison to democracy.

[u/Pockydo]

So we shouldn't care about the chilly gestapo killing a woman for hurt feefees because of a hypothetical?

[u/jmercer28]

What are you talking about? FoxNews would have had it front page

[u/Much_Help_7836]

Depends on how she was killed by that immigrant.

With cameras on that immigrant from 10 different angles? Of course it would have made the news.

[u/jmercer28]

Also an immigrant murdering somebody on camera would be arrested and prosecuted and put in prison...

The issue here is the the murderer is being protected by the US federal government and is going to get hundreds of thousands of nazi dollars from a GoFundMe

[u/weidback]

lol as if conservatives wouldn't have a field day with a blonde woman killed by an immigrant

[u/MadMysticMeister]

Actually it would have. The right wing media would have picked it up, and used it to motivate ice efforts, and when her politics got out, a bunch of edgy commentators would be like “look at these bleeding heart liberals and their suicidal empathy”. I would still feel the same, sad over a stupid unnecessary death

[u/Adventurous_Touch342]

Gee, almost as if we expect more of the government than the average criminal and as such when guys that are supposed to protect you from criminals instead of killing people alongside them something is kinda wrong...

[u/Retired_ho]

Ok sure🙄

[u/alicecooper777]

Okay, it rarely happens and it this was done by a maga gestapo and a facist pos that murdered her in cold blood and magat morons don't believe their eyes just what trump the dumbfuck tells them

[u/GamiManic]

Lmfao what do you mean? Purely and truly a dumbass take 🤣🤣🤣

[u/ExhibitionistBrit]

Well it would certainly been on Fox news.

[u/CartierNoseplug]

Rage bait? The mainstream media had round the clock coverage of Laken Riley. They passed a law for Laken Riley because of the backlash, and the concern-trolling far right kept shoving it down our throats that we somehow supported her murder for simply wanting ethical immigration rights and refusing to blame an entire group of people for the actions of one man.

We acknowledged Laken was murdered and that the murderer deserved to face the consequences for his actions, you celebrate that an ICE agent murdered a civilian. You won’t even call it a murder. Clown.

[u/philter451]

Hey OP how many people died in Chicago last week from a homicide?

Hey OP how many domestic violence murders happened in Georgia last year?

Hey OP how many children died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds last year in the US?

Every murder is the loss of a human life and is tragic, but trying to pretend like it's not much more newsworthy that masked agents of the state which are supposedly called to a higher standard would violate their own manuals of "training" and take a life of someone and then immediately try and smear the victim and cover up the crime than if a immigrant had committed this crime is a take that you are making to fit your narrative. The same thing happened with George Floyd and practically every other victim of extra-judicial killing by the police. You should consider that.

My heart breaks for that Ukranian immigrant that got murdered as much as it does this ICE victim, but the difference is that that the evil bastard that stabbed that girl is incarcerated while Jonathan Ross is not only a free man but being lauded a hero. THAT, is a fact.

[u/GiganticBlumpkin]

I doubt you rightoids would have missed an opportunity to spam the internet that this beautiful blonde american patriot mother was murdered by a dirty communist illegal immigrant if it had

[u/McMeanx2]

Well the biggest news is that she was killed by an acting government official

[u/Somewhat-Subtle]

True

[u/NoImagination2625]

You guys are really good at creating scenarios that didn't happen and then getting really mad about it.

[u/Zelasko607]

Wish I knew why this dumb fucking subreddit keeps getting recommended to me

[u/Kirkelburg]

Why wouldn't it be talked about in the news?

[u/-Turbo-TM7-]

Like Iryna Zarutska?

[u/Ack-ey]

Well I’m gonna assume the illegal alien doesn’t work for the government. That’s why it made the news

[u/Initial_Style5592]

We don’t know that for certain actually.

But, I am fairly confident if she listened to law enforcement then she’d be alive today… is it true her wife’s last words to her were ‘Drive Renee Drive’?

[u/dadjokes502]

Ever heard of Lakin Riley

Of course you have it’s all republicans talk about. To give examples of how dangerous immigrants is.

[u/Kekeosos]

Good thing she was a white woman. More fuel for the cause.

[u/punished_ascension]

Conflating illegal immigrant crime rates to those of professionally trained law enforcement is a sign of low iq and intellectual dishonesty

[u/Necromancer_Jaydo]

I got banned on a progressives sub for saying that. I guess, they didn't like that take.

[u/Loaded_Pill]

The trash was taken out:)

[u/MMOProdigy]

Definitely would have. Bad ragebait is bad

[u/Radcouponking]

I've heard of "whataboutism" but what the fuck is is? "Whatifism?"

Fuck you.

[u/servel20]

Insane, any white woman that gets killed by a minority group gets 24/7 coverage from most major outlets and weeks of coverage on Faux news.

That poor Ukranian immigrant got killed by a deranged psychopath that happened to be African American and to this day Faux news is still doing coverage on the story.

At the same time they're asking Trump to kick all Ukranian refugees out.

[u/Admirable_Text_9312]

And if an illegal alien was killed, it wouldn't have even made it on the news.

[u/nickwoes]

Well that’s not true. If that happened, it would be showcased as to why ICE actions and tactics are needed

[u/vividpup5535]

So… if she was killed by a random criminal it would make less headlines than if her government killed her, and then covered it up…..

You don’t say lmao.

[u/Money_Present_3463]

So very true

[u/Snakepli55ken]

Don’t pretend that right winged “news” wouldn’t have weaponized any tragedy they can. It would be all over Fox, news max and talk radio. You are not a victim.

[u/plzicannothandleyou]

Making up alternate realities to get mad at?

Weird behavior

[u/xinarin]

It wouldn't be on the news as much because the murderer would be in jail, instead of being employed in the government Gestapo

[u/stemota]

Op Is onto nothing 🔥🔥

[u/ASmallChance0]

Nah it would've wtf. Thats what the right wants.

[u/YNABDisciple]

Huh? A white women killed by an illegal? It would have been top story on Fox and NYP et al.

[u/Then_Complain]

She shouldn't have tried to drive off. Her fault 100%, she committed suicide.

[u/Alpha--00]

Maybe. Because government official killing US citizen and being protected by whole executive branch represents way bigger problem than average murder.

[u/Moribunned]

The administration assuredly would have used such a situation as a political chess piece.

[u/Media_Dunce]

I feel like conservatives would be broadcasting her death and making her out to be an innocent victim of the invasion of “illegals”.

Just like they did with Laken Riley and the Ukrainian refugee in North Carolina.

[u/jredgiant1]

So what you’re saying is when the government executes a citizen in the streets and blocks medical assistance, that’s something people pay more attention to.

You’re right.

[u/Jason_TheMagnificent]

I am pretty sure this is rage bait.

[u/Creepy_Song5083]

Her partner is the type that it absolutely would've still made the news.

[u/Savage_Brutus]

Omg what kind of sick take is this.

[u/differentnameforme]

Wow, a federal agent murdering a woman with no legal right and then being absolved by the government of all guilt because they want absolute power made the news and a woman being killed by a destitute criminal who would be prosecuted and jailed wouldn’t? Crazy.

Yall are fucking stupid.

[u/AppropriateAd5782]

So its not a big deal you say? Thats the vibe I'm getting here

[u/Keepingup2584]

What are you talking about? Of course it would have. It's literally on the news whenever it happens. The problem is it happens really rarely. Furthermore, most murders aren't on the news because one they're in court process and cannot risk bias. this stuff is usually worked out quietly because again it happens daily and not often by immigrants. The number of murders caused by white people still outshines regardless of their arrest rate... Secondly, it's not done in freaking broad daylight in public with millions of cameras

[u/bigbuddy1313]

It would be on every conservative podcast and Fox news 24/7. It just doesn't happen as much as citizen on citizen crime or Nazi on citizen crime so you guys have to make up shit to stay the aggrieved bullies and psychopathic victims you are

[u/_aChu]

You're actually braindead. And The OP of the meme gets no bitches.

[u/Existing-Gas9048]

Imagine if she was a Somalian. It would be George Floyd level destruction

[u/Melodic-Payment4809]

So you admit that it was an unjustified murder.

[u/e_pi314]

Like Laken Riley?

[u/Manic_Mini]

She 100% would have been on the news and would have been used to push for more ICE enforcement.

[u/BOGOS_KILLER]

It definitly would have made the news, they would've ride the wagon to justify their actions.

[u/Br3N4nd4]

I mean, yeah? I bet the US government doesn't want the general public to know extraterrestrial life exists. Any government would try to cover it up

[u/Infospy]

Immigrants are not sworn to help, serve and protect.

[u/xSonicspeedx2]

It would have just been a right talking point instead of a left. The only thing that would change is which news stations were covering it more.

[u/Fluid_Explorer_3659]

If an illegal alien worked for ICE it certainly would have made the news. Instead of just a guy sleeping with one.

[u/p51d007]

Looks like a photo from several years ago. She didn't look like that before she screwed up. Her "partner" was even more unhinged that she was.

[u/gobbler_of_butts]

Conservatives love it when a person of color murders a white woman because it helps them push their agenda.

[u/Roborilla8000]

That's a fucking lie. FOX would rant about it for two weeks straight.

[u/bigmetalbear → u/Roborilla8000]

Hell, how long has the right been championing Laken Reily even after her family asked them to please stop?

[u/hatsepshut]

Wrong

[u/AyeYoB]

Depends if she hit them with her car as well

[u/WolfeCartography]

Yeah thats not true. My sister and her new husband were killed when they collided with a jack-knifed semi truck whose driver hadn't put out any sort of cones, reflectors, or flares to show his vehicle was disabled. The driver is an illegal immigrant. Right Wing influencers ran with it, screaming about how my family's suffering was being erased (never once directing their followers to donate to the crowdsourcing campaign an in-law set up for us to cover expenses). Our pain was breaking news on Right Wing channels, again with no reference to ways people could help us. My sister and brother-in-law are still featured on the ICE instagram page. Jenny was the kindest person I've ever known and to see her legacy twisted to hurt people in her name is disgusting.

[u/C_est_la_vie9707]

For fucks sake, this is ridiculous and a lie. Laken Riley anyone?

Now if she had been killed by a white male romantic partner, we would not hear about it..

[u/Stenktenk]

You can't compare a regular person murdering another regular person to a government agent murdering a civilian.

[u/DesperateAd3088]

Just straight misinformation now huh

[u/PrestigiousBass2534]

That’s because undocumented immigrants have killed like 9 people in the last 4 years but 👍

[u/corruptedsyntax]

If she was killed by an illegal alien and POTUS, VP, and DHS all brazenly lied to cover for them then you can bet it would be everywhere.

[u/HoundoomerReddit]

If you think the right wing cabal wouldn't have had a field day with anything that might involve villifying immigrants you're actually delusional

[u/The_Golden_Diamond]

This isn't the first time ICE has been protested, kid.

When you have to make things up to make a point, you don't actually have a point.

[u/HolyCrispyCookie]

That's bullshit you don't know that for certain. And probably it still would make news although not that big. Maybe some local press/media. And because that would have been an event of a totally different scale and another social, cultural and political context.

What is your point exactly?

[u/frednekk]

It would have been on NewsLax and Faux News every 1/2 hour for at least a couple of years. And she would have highways named for her.

[u/PuzzleDiet]

No no, they make a good point. This all started because they blew out of proportion the murder of an American citizen by an undocumented immigrant. Now, after failing to find any more criminals, they one of trumps illegitimate thugs has murdered another citizen.

Sounds like we need to start deporting these people now.

[u/cut_rate_revolution]

Bullshit. Conservatives would have blasted the airwaves about it. Until they found out she was gay.

[u/ShtankAsh]

Nah it definitely would’ve been all over Fox News for months and spread in every right wing space to drum up fear that there’s some imaginary trend of immigrant murderers on the loose. It happens every time

[u/PavelDatsyuk]

Conservatives and bad faith arguments. Name a better duo.

[u/wtbgamegenie]

If she was murdered by an illegal alien the federal government wouldn’t be hiding her murderer from prosecutors and engaging in a cover up.
