    It’s even worse than the picture implies. Alex walked away from that confrontation, and then later ICE assaulted a woman in front of Alex. Alex was helping her while she was falling over. ICE didnt like him helping her so he decided to pepper spray both of them. ICE thugs jumped Alex during this and then executed him. There was zero confrontation, just murder.

    I think of the quote by Mr. Rogers during moments of tragedy: find the helpers. ICE executed the helper. There is zero ambiguity what happened here.

      Now imagine if someone had sniped the ICE agent. Every force department would be searching for this highly dangerous criminal.

        You are correct. However if a sniper was able to take out a gravy seal in such an environment, I would suspect that the sniper had a means to disappear.

        The noise that observers create would make it REALLY hard to identify the location, unless someone saw the flash.

        Sadly, while the sniper is gone, we get a Luigi situation. They will waste a ton of resources finding someone to blame, and that person is now guilty in the eyes of the regime.

        Or, worse, they just start massacring the crowd. This one is much more likely in my opinion.

          They would absolutely open fire in a blind panic, spraying every civilian on the block with bullets.
