    Before anyone says that the truck should not have been doing that, ask yourself… Could ICE have just backed up and waited for something to happen that could justify opening fire?

      October 23, 1983, two truck bombs killed 307, US/French servicemembers and civilians in Beirut.

      Also was Coast Guard who opened fire, not ICE.

        You could say that about anything.

        “we had to shoot the minivan because in Iraq these have had bombs in them.”

        “we had to shoot that kid, because he may have had a bomb in his backpack.”

        “sure, that lady just had to die. She may have had a gun. Who could have known it was just a remote control?”

        The reality is that the people shooting are helping kidnappers, Nazi’s, and generally evil people. Of course they aren’t going to show patience or civility towards civilians. That’s not why the president has injected them into that situation.

        They are military, and they are there to wage war on Americans.
