      Unlikely to happen, because it means they’d be vulnerable to accountability too.

    I can think of at least 5 road rage incidents within a few miles of my house over the last decade, in which people were murdered by a road rager with a gun. Some of them have never been caught, and never will be.

    If I’m a cop, and I see a guy exit his vehicle and point his gun at the driver in the car behind him, I’m going to shoot that guy immediately.

    Even if I’m not a cop, my state has very strong Stand Your Ground Laws, and if a citizen were to kill a road rager who was pointing a gun at another driver, they’d certainly get away with it.

    The dead guy being an ICE agent might complicate it a bit, but it shouldn’t.

      Yea but the guy pointing the gun was white. If it was an unarmed black or brown guy. He would have been shot before he got out of the car.

      I would be really shocked if it hasn’t already happened and we just haven’t heard about it yet.

    As opposed to the ‘official uniform’ all the others are wearing?

    If the ICE agent would be not white, I’m sure cop would just shot him without questions.

    Using “undercover” as if he’s concealing his employer in order to take on the mob rather than attendants at a carwash.

    So, it’s not a crime if ICE does it?

    Fascists think they’re immune to being humiliated, beaten down or suffering. He’s going to learn the hard way that he’s only human.

          How much farther? They’ve gone about as far as they can go without implementing gas chambers and still people are fretting over anything violent happening to them.
