      …which is strange considering how many people risk their lives trying to get here. If America was as bad as it seems, you’d think there would be more illegal immigration in the opposite direction.

          …I don’t know about the rich people, but our poor people tend to want to stay. There has to be a reason for that, but I couldn’t tell you what it is.

      He has a name, he has a face, he has a bank account, he has a home address, and he has the right to a jury of his peers.

      He is a fascist, an invader, and a murderer. Knowing his name can help in seeking justice.

          I think fascist bigots deserve to be named and for the community to know who they are. Especially if they committed murder.

          Yes they are trash, but let’s not give them anonymity.

          A civil suit to recover profits from a crime the state does not recognize. From when the nazi storm trooper murdered a lady on camera.

            A crime is not needed for a civil suit. A person can be found not guilty of a murder and still lose a civil suit for wrongful death.

                Cops have actual “Qualified Immunity”, which is bullshit on a federal level. It is basically flawless insurance coverage at taxpayer expense. They cannot be sued personally unless it has been established that the EXACT thing they did has already been ruled on as being “bad”.

    From a financial perspective it’s not really a secret – big money is backing the far-right and conservative media and political sphere. Systems like GoFundMe and others are ripe targets for grifting of course, but they’re also ripe for manipulating public opinion. Do you have an agenda and lots of money? You can easily afford bot services and then split your pile of money up among dozens, hundreds, thousands or more different accounts to give the impression that a cause like this is more popular than it is. Or you can use your social media influence to manipulate people into donating on your behalf. And of course the bonus is that it emboldens and encourages those who actually do believe this shit to speak up and participate, amplifying the message even more.

    And aside from all that, there’s just a subset of people who are out of touch but who truly believe that danger is imminent and lurking around every corner. They’re getting fear based messaging from social media, Fox News, and elsewhere that’s got them literally thinking that illegal immigrants are hiding in the bushes ready to murder them the moment they step out of their car. I know people whose world view is so skewed towards fear that they genuinely think it’s dangerous to go into the city of 40K population for a doctor’s appointment. They think people are getting murdered left and right on every street corner every minute of every day. And no amount of reassurance from a more sane and measured perspective seems to change that.

      dont feel safe passing through a town of 40k population

      I cant think of any population from 40k that id feel safe around.

      think people are getting raped and murdered on every street corner every minute of every day

      I think they assume everyone else has the same job they do.

    Seventeen thousand donors…out of eight billion people.

    Remember the real numbers here.

      That’s a misleading-denominator fallacy. 8 billion isn’t the relevant pool. Most of those people don’t live in the US, don’t follow this story, don’t use GoFundMe, and have no stake in US immigration enforcement.

      By your logic, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (17 million donors) represented only 0.2% of humanity, so ALS awareness was a nothingburger. Obviously not true.

      Donating is a costly and strong signal. For every person who pays, many more quietly agree. 17,000 paying donors typically implies hundreds of thousands of sympathizers, which is a meaningful bloc in a country of 160 million voters.

      You might have meant something narrower, like ‘loud online fundraising can overstate real support.’ That’s a fair point worth making. The 8 billion framing isn’t.

      Oh, that’s far too easy, I want people like this to live a very long and miserable life.

      Flat broke, ostracized from humanity, abandoned by their family and friends, betrayed by the scam artists who convinced they they would be protected for their illegal and immoral acts, dying old and alone unremarked in a puddle of their own filth after a very long and painful life.

      Dead Nazi make martyrs and we do not want martyrs. Heck, the Cheeto-in-Chief nicked his ear to play one, no need to add some gravy seals to the list.
