In reply to the discussion: Why did ICE shoot her? [View all]Mike Nelson
(10,916 posts)20. My guess...
... is that she did something to upset that group of ICE officers earlier in the protest. When she decided to leave, they followed her. Lastly, she probably shouted vulgarities at them as she was leaving. This just tipped the shooter "over the edge," and he shot. It's surprising, to me, that it reached that point. When society entrusts you with a gun, you can't shoot everyone that "ticks you off"... no matter what they say... and most of what they do... From boats in the ocean to protesters, we seem to have a lower standard. I echo the Mayor and Governor - please be on guard, DU protesters. They want more chaos... stay safe.

At the time that he fired, he was clearly not in any danger. He was at the side of the car.

Many of these so-called ice agents have not been trained. He had a gun, and he's itching to use it.
