    All of these things are true:

    1. This murder of Salgado is equally evil, and equally important, as the murders of Good and Pretti. His death deserves the same amount of outrage and community response.

    2. My nervous system still feels fried from being constantly activated for several months at the beginning of the year.

    3. I see the incongruence and it’s very disturbing to me.

      This is probably worse.

      The government said they were taking dangerous people off the streets, but in the admittedly small amount of coverage I’ve seen there’s no dispute that he was a hard worker with no criminal background, killed on his way to work. With Good and Pretti, ICE can argue that these people were agitators or something and pretend that justifies killing them, but somebody driving their car to work is not trying to instigate anything.

      You can assume that the statements given by ICE are false since they’ve falsified their reports of every other high profile murder, and even used this line about trying to use the vehicle as a weapon before in cases where that clearly was not what happened.

      You may also assume that given in previous murders there are body camera and vehicle camera and even cell phone camera footage recorded and released by ICE that there is most likely camera footage from this murder as well and ICE has chosen not to release it because not even their supporters would like it.

        Just want to say that in no way can they argue that unless you have absolutely no idea what happened. Its the equivalent here of believing the argument that Salgado was a hardened criminal prowling the streets.

        All of these “arguments” are entirely baseless and nonsensical.
