    He’s a committed, conservative Christian, a tremendous father, a tremendous husband.

    He’s also a murderer. These things are not mutually exclusive. Being a good dad doesn’t excuse putting a bullet in the head of a good mom.

      He’s not saying he’s good because he’s a good father and husband, he’s citing those as evidence for him being a good conservative Christian, which is the only thing that matters to them. If you identify as exactly that you can do anything and still be a good person.

      The rich have co-opted Christianity and the insane devotion its internal logic creates to build their perfect foot soldiers

        Conservative Christian” means “not at all aligned with the teachings of Jesus Christ”.

          If even 50% of “christians” gave a fuck about what Jesus said, we wouldn’t be here.

          But that’s not really true. If you are a trinitarian then what Yahweh said is also what Jesus said. But even so people apparently haven’t actually read their bible. Jesus was exclusionary, used racial slurs for tribes he didn’t like, told everyone to continue the same barbaric treatment found in the Old Testement.

      Just using the word tremendous (orange toddler special) to describe him, should tell us about the what kind of household he was raised in.

      and a coward, and a murderer.

      This is the praise you give to someone who fucked up and accidentally killed someone through stupidity with no intent and they’re also devastated that the death happened. Some dumb party prank or something. They’ve otherwise been a normal human and stayed out of trouble. You’re trying for leniency from the court, but still expect you’ll go to jail for a while, just hoping it won’t be a long time.

      This MF showed up already primed to kill someone. Deliberately positioned himself in order to claim a threat and escalate the situation, while she was being told to leave* by other officers, and she attempted to leave and was shot by him within seconds even after he was no longer in front of the vehicle. He doesn’t have any remorse. Fuck him.

      *([https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/01/07/shooting-south-minneapolis-ice-agents-federal-operation](“Some of them were leaving, and they just went around her, but ICE gave her orders to leave, while at the same time, another ICE person said, ‘Get out of the car,’ and he reached for her door handle. And then there was an ICE agent in front of her vehicle. ) Seems to be typical cop bs to issue conflicting orders. The shooter could have simply stepped aside, but chose not to.)
