It doesn't need to, Minnesota submits warrants to ice, dhs, doj and the last three known addresses for the shooter and they've satisfied the in absentia exception and they can then complete a trial without him. If convicted he'll risk arrest and imprisonment and they can't leave the country, most other countries won't accept anyone with an active felony case let alone conviction and they'd probably enjoy the extradition.
The Vice President of the United States of America has literally said the ICE chud is owed a "debt of gratitude". That's after it was clear that he murdered someone.
And you think he won't be specifically protected as a signal to all other ICE chuds? The guy is set for life. They have to make sure he is. Otherwise it's going to be a lot harder to convince them to kill people when they're specifically asked to.
Yeah stupid people say stupid things, what exactly about that is new or surprising, moreover what does it change?
They can protect him from federal charges but not state ones or they would wipe state sovereignity and all the big guns and fun weapons are on the coasts.
What happens to this guy is going to set the time for how ice behaves from here on out.
Sure, I don't disagree but Peter theils bitch isn't in the know or calling the shots, he's just a loudmouth puppet.
For sure, it just highlights that clearly they know that they are going doing to have problems if their little goons think they might get held accountable for their actions.
In normal times I’d agree with you 100%.
But these are not normal times.
It would be difficult for them to pull off even now, tell a bunch of South shall rise again types that they're throwing states rights under the bus and suddenly they aren't on their side anymore.
You forget, it’s a cult.
He promises.
They spout it off, live it, love it.
He 180’s.
So do they.
Yes it is, and Confederate creeps are a much bigger much older cult.
Oh in that case let's not worry at all, everything is fine!
🙄
No one said that in fact I said just the opposite, don't be obtuse.
I'm saying he won't be brought to justice. You, as far as I can tell, are saying he will. Where am I getting mixed up here?
Let's start with being "brought to justice", that's a fairly vague concept. I said he could be convicted in absentia. Done, that's where your confused.

The start of the comment chain for reference.
Yeah I think you're right. Personally I don't see the justice in being convicted in absentia, on its own.
Well justice is a weird word to use. Morality is more consequential when talking about convictions and people often conflate the two.
It's justice it's just not particularly moral justice.
