"I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys"

That was a text sent by Border Patrol agent Charles Exum after shooting Marimar Martinez in Chicago back in October, 2025. They then tried to prosecute Martinez though charges were dropped. Charles Exum is still a free man. Charles Exum is a piece of shit. I wish I knew why Charles Exum isn't awaiting trial.

One witness noted that didn't look like they were trying to help him, they were just cutting his clothes off and searching his limp body. She was disgusted.

“And then they come over to try to perform some kind of medical aid by ripping his clothes open with scissors, and then maneuvering his body around like a ragdoll, only to discover that it could be because they wanted to count the bullet wounds, to see how many they got. Like he’s a deer.”

... probably that he is such a deadly marksman that he put two slugs in the same hole... twice. That's the kind of soulless sociopath we're dealing with here: A murderer who takes pride in the harm he causes to others, with a complete absence of remorse or shame.
Few, if any, will mourn his passing.

I'm thinking the extra two holes are exit wounds.

First Person Shooter games, like Call of Duty. Apparently you get extra points per the number of bullet hits? These morons think it's a Game, but in real life. No concept of reality/Fantasy separation, but a merging of the two. Abject fools....

Sealing that evidence MAY be a default procedure. Or the feds don't want to suffer further embarrassment after having the charges against Martinez dropped.

To see who shoots the most holes in a human body? Winner might get a couple hundred bucks, plus bragging rights.

Curious that no one in Kristi's chain of command thought to inquire about this -- and maybe do some firing? (Just kidding about the "firing" of course. The mere fact that ICE goons are having a little boyish fun over the human beings they want to kill is, certainly, not grounds for any negative action from the Puppy killer or her cognitively declining boss.

By the way:

No. It's like an earlier poster noted. The fewer holes with the most rounds released wins. If you can get a second bullet right on top of an earlier shot it's impressive. I know because I've done it once-- on a piece of paper, not a human being.

I am fully in favor of common sense gun control laws, but the mindless devotees of the Second amendment who parrot the line about "Guns don't kill people; people do" have at least one thing right. The psychology behind the person holding the gun is key.

This doesn't mean that I think that we should be handing out guns lightly. We also shouldn't be handing out civil authority lightly.

Some people shouldn't have guns anymore than a two-year-old should have a hammer. Two-year-olds have no emotional regulation. That's why you hand them a soft stuffed toy that they can either cuddle for comfort or throw to express their inchoate rage.

We need some form of psychological evaluation for anyone being handed a gun. We need excruciatingly thorough evaluations of people being handed both a badge and a gun.

But it is unlikely the Federal Government will take measures to get the job done. At least in this century.

along the lines of the old rock song "Three Lock Box" because that's exactly how disgusting and misogynistic these goons are.

Or describing forced sex. People who do things like that need to be strictly avoided at all costs.

It's a type of bragging that says pretty much everything about the braggart.
