    They are kidnapping, torturing, starving, raping, and killing innocent people.
    Celebrating their harm/death is definitely the right call here.

      Would you want me to celebrate the death sentence of your dog because it went and killed all my family?

      In this crappy example here, whose at fault? Not the dog. But you. You who didn’t monitor him closely enough to prevent the tragedy.

      What I want to say here is that we shouldn’t hate on the officers themselves, but on the government which created ICE in the first place. The officer could be a forced in a way or in another to do what he is doing, and isn’t particularly keen of doing it, his only goal being of bringing money to feed his family back home. (Maybe I’m wrong on who are the people who works at ICE).

      So celebrating their harm/death is not the correct move if we want all of this to stop.

          That’s it, I’m stopping here, if people prefer commenting on the words I use, instead of on what I’m saying, this debate will not go anywhere.

            While my comment was mostly snark, the main point is that unlike a dog, these folks have agency in their decisions and approach to situations. Is the underlying management strategy of DHS/ICE wrong? Absolutely, but you don’t get to “I’m just following orders” your way through this as an ICE agent.

        “Just following orders” is not a valid defense for heinous acts. These people are evil. They are not only following inhumane orders, but going further. They’re not ordered to murder or rape people in custody but they do, because they want to. They’re grown ups making their own decisions. And those decisions are evil.

        They are not mindless beasts. They know what they’re doing. They have no empathy. No respect for human life. They chose their paths. I’ll celebrate when that path leads to their demise.

        Death to all Nazi scum.
