(744 posts)I think it is quite the opposite.
Why are the ICE thugs so angry that would shoot an innocent American for pretty much doing nothing? Because they KNOW they've lost the public.
Heck, the reason she was out there is because people all over the country are standing up to the ICE thugs.
If they were actually winning there would be no resistance. The fact that such mild resistance gets them angry enough to KILL tells us how much we are actually winning.
And if you think these kinds of things do not affect public opinion I believe you are mistaken.
Both the senseless killing and the outright lies and coverup of the Administration break through to people.
Not only allowing but seeming to encourage the killing of innocent people in our country will turn a blue wave into a blue tsunami--not only at the ballot box in November for federal elections, but in state and local elections all over the country.
I know it is easy to be cynical, but every election stands on its own. We have an electorate that is not required to vote, and as such we never know who is going to show up. Things like this may not motivate everyone to get out and protest, but it will motivate a hell of a lot of people to vote...against this.
