The point is your framing buys into multiple right-wing narratives that largely end up untrue. Things like the purposeful conflating of apprehensions vs actual individuals who have crossed the border. Or framing things as a "crisis at the border". Of course there's going to be countless of people waiting to be processed through the border - the US essentially turned off asylum for 3 years. Title 42 was not only a failure because of its brazen illegality, but because it multiplyed the number of *encounters* that happened, with many people being captured, placed back over the Mexico-US border into Mexico, and them simply returning again, because asylum seekers *inherently have no place to return to*. In 2022, when you heard people talk about "2 Million Border Encounters", that not only included people who crossed back and forth multiple times after being caught, but over 100k+ people who *entered legally*: I've tried to explain more in the past here: And recommend reading analysis by legal experts like Aaron who actually have a dog in this fight and are doing important work to push fact in the face of mass hysteria and far-right anti-immigrant propaganda.

TROPICUM Posted May 7, 2023 Posted May 7, 2023 That random user casually justifying this attack as if it isn’t anything other than pure racist white psychos doing their thing and not "people losing their minds over immigration"

Yes because clearly those are the only two options. Making light of 7 immigrants losing their lives over a racially motivated attack isn't the kinda slay you think it is.

What the heck is happening to people?!?!... I kinda understand WHY the govt wanted to regulate the internet... the raw news, uncensored images, violence and brutality... it's provoking people with mental health issues. You can go on twitter, tik tok, facebook... it's all littered with raw uncensored footage. Not everyone has the mental capacity to process those things. It's ruining the new generations. LMAO. I can't at you wanting our FREEDOMS taken away by them "regulating" the internet. Sweetie, this isn't Russia. Edited May 7, 2023 by JustHoran

It’s not sensationalist if it’s an accurate depiction of the poll’s findings.

Please go and kiss my ass
Aethereal Posted May 8, 2023 Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) This is absolutely insane, sad and tragic. None of those affected had any clue what was coming for them. So be careful because you never know what the future hold for us. Edited May 8, 2023 by Aristotle
Into The Void Posted May 8, 2023 Posted May 8, 2023 As a texan I can say most Texans are not this bad
Vermillion Posted May 8, 2023 Posted May 8, 2023 @ttsmu Death count up to 8, 10 more injured, some critically. Video of the driver appears to show him intoxicated when arrested but still doesn't rule out this being intentional given witness statements on the driver's comments.
RunUpDoneUp Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 "Invading my property" Is there any reason a piece of land, that is not in danger of being lost, is worth the life of someone passing by? No? Then you're a sane person and won't be joining the nazi militia. This radicalism is deliberate, conservative pundits and media want people dead.
