Protestor lost an eye and left with unremovable shrapnel seven millimeters from his carotid artery after fascist paramilitary fired a “less-lethal” round at his face. (Santa Ana, CA - 1/13/26).

The cruelty did not end with the trigger pull. Jeri Rees is the victim’s aunt. She recounts a scene of unnecessary brutality. She says agents did not rush to save the young trans man bleeding out on their doorstep. Instead they dragged him by the hood of his jacket. The collar choked him as he gasped for air. K told his family that while he lay there terrified and unable to see agents pressed his face into the pavement and into his own blood. He remembers begging for an ambulance. He remembers the response even more clearly. “You’re going to lose your eye” an agent sneered. It was not a medical assessment. It was a taunt.

I wish videos like this changed more Republican minds. They don't mind the violence and chaos this ICE bullshit is causing, and in fact they may prefer it.

Right. You'd think some would have some humanity after seeing horrifying videos, but I don't think that's happening very much. It's just victim blaming all the way.

They literally can't comprehend that they could be wrong.

Simply because humans are supposed to react viscerally to awful violence, even if they thought they wanted it. Would be the normal way to react.

And dragged him horse collar, choking him the whole way! Lucky that didn't force the strapnel into his artery!

Many of them love it unfortunately. They like to see trans, lesbians, bi, LEGAL immigrants get tortured and think it would never happen to them. A bunch of psychopaths and sociopaths really !

Natural selection. There are more than enough guides online which tell you to wear safety goggles, when you are at violent protests.

Nobody deserves to lose an eye, let alone a prognosis their next sneeze could be fatal, for trying protest.

What the people in uniforms did in this video was an intentional criminal act, not some natural process.

Yes, they should have been wearing eye protection. However, the onus is not on them. Not everyone is ready to understand that these uniformed representatives of the state are our enemies.

Try to think before you post.

Oh, after a year of terrorism because of Trump and ICE I should feel sorry for stupid people? Nah, don’t bring a knive into a gun fight. It is well known that ICE/DHS will KILL you. When are you going to learn this?

You should feel sorry for victims, yes.

You might get angry, or afraid, or even feel encouraged to effect change. However to say lol, natural selection just shows a lack of empathy.

I never felt empathy towards stupid people, that’s correct. If you are a victim of your own stupidity and drive with 200km/h into a wall, I don’t feel any empathy at all. Quite weird if people feel empathy in such cases. Not all human lives matter

The quote you posted shows how you just don’t get my point. So no use in continuing this.

  1. I am not a US citizens. Not everybody is. There are quite a lot of people out there who are non-US.

  2. do you know the whole situation? I can see him running towards cops. Very stupid idea, especially if they said to move back. So this has nothing to do with a “peaceful assembly”

  3. peaceful assemblies mean nothing. ICE will keep on killing. They are literally immune to prosecution and will be all pardoned by Trump.
