Yes, but deporting gang members is so much harder. I mean first you have to find them, and sometimes, they shoot back at you. It’s just so much easier and safer for ICE agents to deport people with no criminal records. Also, if you deport enough regular people without criminal records, the ones that are left will be…

I say this about every ICE agent: if you don’t condone these actions, quit. By continuing to wear that badge, you are complicit with every action your brethren take; just following orders is what they said at Nuremberg, too. At some point, you will be hunted just as they were.

That’s not normal human behavior. That’s sociopath behavior. I guarantee these ICE agents are enjoying every damn moment of their jobs because they enjoy ruining lives legally.

But of course they did. Because making sure harmless undocumented people who are just trying to save their son’s life are harassed, arrested, and deported is way more important than finding and deporting criminals, gang members, or human traffickers. /s

Takeaway: There are some dumb MFers at ESPN. Seriously, one person can’t see the difference between the Lin incident (which involved an unwarranted racial slur - that might have been an accident, sure) and a label (supremacist) ostensibly based on a person’s actual past activities?

These are the same people who consistently conflate “calling out racism” with “being racist against white people.”

Our country has moved so far to the right that people who openly call themselves “conservatives” are basically authoritarians. It isn’t about consistency in the law, it’s about using your power to silence people you don’t like.

So it doesn’t matter how professional you, how educated you may be, if you’re conservative (the “stick to sports” crowd) you still misunderstood the first amendment? (which is ironic)

Go directly to hell, you absolute nightmare of a person.

Pretty sure he’s this guy:

How fucking conceited and oblivious do you have to be to type that and hit SEND? Do white people have to insert themselves into everything?

That tweet was unbelievably innocuous and kinda warm. It sounds as divisive as “shoutout to mom’s cooking.”

Plenty of racists in Oregon and all, but i have a hard time believing this guy never had it explained to him before why racism is bad in fucking Portland...

Again with that “Have an open conversation” shit...

No sympathy for this guy, but it’s interesting that his remarks as quoted above show at least a hint of self-awareness. Let’s hope he resolves to be a better person, though I won’t exactly be holding my breath on that one.

You’re welcome.

Is anyone wanting the government to file charges against this guy for what he said? It doesn’t seem like it. So how does this go against free speech in any way? “Freedom of speech” does not mean “freedom from consequences for what you say.”

That’s not it. You can say what you want. That doesn’t mean it won’t have consequences. Free speech is about the Government suppressing speech. Not shielding each other from consequences of saying stupid things. It depresses me I have to type this to someone (for like, the 11th time)

Free speech is freedom from government oppression. It is NOT freedom from consequences from the public. If you want to be a bigot verbally (not particularly the case here), you won’t be thrown in jail by the government. You will be condemned by everyone though.
