A hypocrite? No way, couldn't see that happening.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

Immigrants are often weirdly anti-immigration. Seeing other immigrants reminds them of their own outsider status, so they get really into notions of Good Immigrant vs Bad Immigrant.

"One of the good ones" 🤢

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Not an immigrant, but a Jew who attended a primarily Christian private school for a few years. Others of your ilk aren't just a reminder of your own outside status—all the assholes around you take care of that on your behalf. When your classmates are told that playing "smear the queer" is not okay, but "get the Jew" is "fine," finding someone like you presents an opportunity.

You could use the opportunity to possibly defend yourselves through unification, but we all know that's not what you're going to do. No, you're going to do what was done to me. You're going to let fear and anger guide you, because how could two of you possibly fight back; you don't even know each other. You're going to join the in-crowd by becoming an aggressor to the new outsider. And as long as they're there to take the heat, you get to chill with people who will throw you in the fire as soon as they're done with the other outsiders.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. I am glad you were able to survive that and land in a stable career in fartography. Truly inspiring 🥲

It still weirds me out how many of them have wives from abroad. I suspect mail-ordered (or whatever we call that nowadays), but anyhow.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

My old college roommate is as MAGA and anti-immigrant as they come, but is currently engaged to a woman half his age from the Philippines. He met her on Instagram by commenting on some of her bikini photos. 🤮

He didn't just shoot her, he executed her, murdered her, assassinated her and deprived her of ALL her constitutional rights.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 65 points 1 month ago

Fucking bang on. He wanted to escalate and murder someone, and he did it.

And, let's face it, there's probably more than a few Iraqis that aren't alive because of him.
Am I harsh to throw that in? No, I don't think so. If this is the murderous shit he pulls in his own state in his country, then wtf type of horrors would he pull in a place like Iraq...

So it might not even be the first innocent person he murdered for work?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

He's a cop... If he didn't do it he helped

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago

No, murder is his career.

I wonder how many people he did that to in Iraq ?

[–] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Depending on when he was in country and what exactly his job was, he could have been doing that to drivers on a daily basis.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

The overwhelming majority of deaths in Iraq were civilians, over 100,000. It’s not a particularly big stretch of the imagination.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 54 points 1 month ago (2 children)

US soldiers are killing US citizens without remorse. Imagine what they are doing to people in countries that they invade. I bet everyone told him "Thank you for your service". Fucking killers.

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Never understood thanking soldiers. Why am I thanking you for preserving corporate interests abroad using the steel of an assault rifle?

Vigilante mobs arise when the "legal" systems fail to maintain the social contract. Either they arrest him or the mob does.

Keep posting this filthy murderer's information, ALL murderers need to have their information posted everywhere until justice catches them.

[–] fort_burp@feddit.nl 43 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It's interesting to see in the comments here and elsewhere people that haven't figured out how capitalist white supremacy patriarchy and a foreign wife are a natural fit. They think it's a sign of hypocrisy. Sweet, sweet summer children 😇

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

For those that don't know, Filipina wives have a reputation for being submissive to their husbands and are sought out by certain kinds of American men for that reason. For example, radio personality Art Bell had a Filipina wife and when she died, he met a new Filipina woman 39 years younger than him a few weeks later and was married to her before the end of the year.

You know, the vigilante anti-hero who murders corrupt power tripping cops?

True justice only exists in fiction.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Even in that fiction, they make it pretty clear he is a criminal. He understands he is stepping outside the law and subject to the same justice as those he attacks.

Even if certain police seem to miss the entire point

Deport his fucking wife. See how he likes it.

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I get the intent but she already has had to suffer being his wife, maybe she doesn't deserve the punishment for his criminal immorality.

Freikorps were irregular German and other European paramilitary volunteer units that existed from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. They effectively served as mercenaries or private military companies, regardless of their own nationality.

In the aftermath of World War I and during the German Revolution of 1918–19, Freikorps, consisting partially of World War I veterans, were raised as paramilitary militias. They were ostensibly mustered to fight on behalf of the government against the German communists attempting to overthrow the Weimar Republic. However, many Freikorps also largely despised the Republic and were involved in assassinations of its supporters, later aiding the Nazis in their rise to power.

Make of this what you will

May the public reciprocate his actions in kind.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

I guarantee he's just in denial that she cheats on him

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 15 points 1 month ago

He also murdered a woman in public with impunity

[–] Bullerfar@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Deport his wife and send him to prison.

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (5 children)

This thread is full of people imagining that he committed war crimes in Iraq, but it’s also very likely that he once had discipline, the threat of consequences, formal training in weapons, use of force, the rules of engagement, and the concept of restraint.

It’s far likelier IMO that when he joined law enforcement, and particularly ICE, he felt that he could be less restrained.

these type of white people have a fetish of asian wives, they think because they are submissive and readily for sex and other things, or my favorite, is when they brag about having an asian wife it means they arnt "racist", because they couldnt get white wives they think asian ones are easier to get.

I Don't know how to post this: https://streamable.com/i0mx3e but it's so actual: a scene from Star Trek: Picard about ICE assholes (and the series is 6 years old!) I was watching this series from DVD and suddenly it got actual as duck. i was shocked :-)

I tried to to post it but Lemmy says it's not possible. If you know how to do that than feel free of course! I have the original clip and its 8 MB big.

I'm sure she posts a lot of "Christian" quotes and imagery. That she both loves and despises her relatives heavily dependent on remittances and handouts. On top of that, the "fuck you got mine" mindset.

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

So, he’s a passport bro

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Saying an ICE agent has a immigrant wife is like saying Trump has a Mexican friend.

[–] DioramaOfShit@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

He prpbably killed a bunch of innocent women and children in iraq too. Hes been training for this.
