Texas Violates International Law by Shooting a Mexican: AMLO

So an injured migrant (how did he get injured?) was on the Mexican side of the border. Was approached by a guy on a motorcycle. And the Texas guard decided to shoot the guy? Because, according to the Texas Guard, e was trying to harm the migrant?

So… Obviously made up story to justify what is still an illegal act.

These guys have abandoned all pretense of adhering to the rule of law.

I can already hear the first replies

I strongly believe that a friend of mine has undiagnosed ADHD. The degree to which everyone around him keeps saying, “he’s not atypical, he just to stop being a fuck up and commit to something” is frustrating. My man needs treatment, not tough love.

UFC Fighter Sean Strickland calls Philippines "The most fucked up place I've ever seen" on his one visit

Blame yourself for tweeting about how fucked up this situation is without elevating the leve of discourse beyond just saying how fucked up it is.

You’re basically saying that no one should ever point out injustice unless they’re actively fixing it. Which is an unnecessarily high burden on anyone wishing to express experiences of injustice. If the only people allowed to share their experiences of injustice are those actively fighting it, you won’t get more fighters, you’ll just get less reports of injustice.

I don’t care that he didn’t “elevate the level of discourse”. Dude’s a UFC fighter. No one is waiting on his hot take on how to fix poverty induced prostitution. It’s sufficient that he shared his experience. Other, more informed, people can piggyback on this observation and provide context and solutions.

Like how you did.
