When you put guns in the hands of over-compensating males who hate everyone with a different skin color, boy-men who are filled inferiority complexes, misogyny, and dripping impulse control disorder – they will find every excuse possible to draw their weapons and murder in the name of "security".

Just saw the video of the ICE shooting in Minnesota.
That’s murder, full stop.
You don’t shoot someone in the head for trying to flee the scene.
