I should upvote because Drumpf has, in a very real sense, blood on his hands from his stochastic terrorism, mafioso fascist/rhetoric and policies; I should downote because political violence really doesn’t make things better; and yet evil also triumphs when good people do nothing.

Idk, I feel better with Kirk dead. Also, he can’t keep spreading his hate to millions, so that’s better too. Political violence doesn’t always makes things better, but sometimes it does, and I think a lack of Trump would be a good thing.
They’ve been hearing for something for a while and if not Kirk it would be something else. I don’t think that this will actually amount to much more than this weird nationalistic response to the death of a YouTuber.
They were clearly waiting for an excuse first which they’ve now manufactured after his death. You cannot tell me that it hasn’t accelerated massively in the past 7 days.
You can disagree with me but don’t call it a talking point.

I don’t feel better. I’m not white and from now on I’m even more likely to get shot than before. I’m staying inside as much as possible (was already doing that before, now I feel even less wanting to go outside). I heard a US Citizen got yeeted off the streets by ICE while walking in a park. Hell nah, fuck that. I’m rather just watch tv shows in the dark silence of an empty room in my house.
I mean, I don’t mourn any deaths, but I’m also not “happy” about it. Rather just have the Bernie wins 2016 Timeline. My head hurts ever time there’s a new announcement from the dictator.
I’m not white and from now on I’m even more likely to get shot than before.
I’d argue that with him alive and continuing to spew his hate and calls for violence, that probability would have unfortunately continued to go up. It went up by a bigger margin with his death sure, but it wouldn’t have stopped with him not being shot.
That being said, I do feel very bad for you and all those affected.

why were highly skilled Korean engineers working “illegally” in USA to begin with?
Most of them say they had valid visas or work authorization.
The U.S. has a visa waiver program where people can come into the U.S. without a visa, and have certain rights similar to visa holders. Many of the South Korean workers have taken the position that the visas they had that allowed them to work for 6 months, or the visa waivers they had entitled them to do temporary work for less than 90 days, and that they were within those time windows.
The lawsuits being filed also allege that immigration officials acknowledged that many of the workers did have legal rights to work, but that they were deported anyway.
So no, I don’t think it’s been shown that the workers did anything illegal. It really sounds like ICE fucked up by following a random tip a little too credulously.
You have accidentally blamed the victims. It is common around the world for people to work abroad, and we almost always do what our bosses tell us. Our bosses, of course, understand the laws of the places where we’ll be working, and they tell us what papers to fill out for immigration and visa purposes. Every multinational company has several people in HR who are experts on this topic.
So the real question to ask is, “Did their employers try to circumvent the law?” … I think probably the answer is no, but if you think the answer is yes, then you should immediately ask, “Why didn’t ICE arrest the employers, then?”
Also, immigration violations are almost never illegal. They’re not crimes; they are civil infractions. Like parking tickets.

Despite the fact that there are good and rational people fighting to change this, the hard fact is that we are flaming out, and there is no telling what destruction and chaos is coming.
Just look at the destruction and chaos we perpetrated around the world when our society was at its height and our population had the most accommodating economic conditions in history.
I think that’s the thing the populace isn’t feeling yet. It hasn’t impacted their comfort enough for them personally, yet. I never understood the mindset people had that led to “first they came for…”. I no longer have that naïveté, for I am seeing it unreeling in real time.
Well, yeah, the number of people even aware that this happened is probably small relative to the adult population, and the number of people aware enough to remember what you’re talking about if you asked them on the street is even smaller. Of course, there’s a lot of awful things of important magnitude happening at a faster pace than usual, so I can see how difficult it can be to keep track.

Pretty sure this is how racists determine a suitable client race. Abuse them & see if they come back for more.
South Korea needs to tell the USA to pound sand & open those factories elsewhere.
They need to start by removing the support structure from the building itself, they should not have a working facility when it is seized.
Canada would be happy to host more production facilities, and treat them a hell of a lot better than the US too
Lowest IQ president in U.S. history.
Also a literal traitor to our nation, its Constitution, and democracy in general.
Don’t forget degenerate pedophile and co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein.
Its too late, damage is already done you dumbass
Honest question: why were highly skilled Korean engineers working “illegally” in USA to begin with? Why didn’t they go through the process to get a worker’s visa or whatever?
Another honest question: why do we have a scumbag for president? Who the hell voted for him anyway?
Most of them say they had valid visas or work authorization.
The U.S. has a visa waiver program where people can come into the U.S. without a visa, and have certain rights similar to visa holders. Many of the South Korean workers have taken the position that the visas they had that allowed them to work for 6 months, or the visa waivers they had entitled them to do temporary work for less than 90 days, and that they were within those time windows.
The lawsuits being filed also allege that immigration officials acknowledged that many of the workers did have legal rights to work, but that they were deported anyway.
So no, I don’t think it’s been shown that the workers did anything illegal. It really sounds like ICE fucked up by following a random tip a little too credulously.
You have accidentally blamed the victims. It is common around the world for people to work abroad, and we almost always do what our bosses tell us. Our bosses, of course, understand the laws of the places where we’ll be working, and they tell us what papers to fill out for immigration and visa purposes. Every multinational company has several people in HR who are experts on this topic.
So the real question to ask is, “Did their employers try to circumvent the law?” … I think probably the answer is no, but if you think the answer is yes, then you should immediately ask, “Why didn’t ICE arrest the employers, then?”
Also, immigration violations are almost never illegal. They’re not crimes; they are civil infractions. Like parking tickets.
