Sorry, can we please stop flooding the zone here? The agent who fired the gun was approx 2cm from being struck by the vehicle, which is how he got a clean shot through the windscreen. The use of deadly force is utterly unjustified, but denying the reality of the situation is just manufacturing doubt
what you clearly see, CLEARLY, is a driver who is spooked by the agents grabbing her door, takes steps to drive away, and is immediately shot as moves her vehicle *away* from the agents.
Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

Less than 4 days ago, this same Minister said that child protection and online safety are more important than Irish citizens' human rights. Now he's saying, "Child Sexual Abuse Material what are you going to do, amrite?"

Among the brambles of consequence from Kier Starmer’s tepid response to the X CSAM scandal (one of several pathetic responses he’s farted out this week), is that recently they have been loudly proclaiming they take violence against women and girls seriously. More performative hogwash, evidently.

Has anyone countenanced what happens if the courts don’t find Maduro guilty?
Eg If they say that the trial cannot be heard because of the procedural omnishambles; or they recognise that they don’t have jurisdictional competence; or that he’s categorically not guilty of drugs trafficking?
What then?

There’s also a concerted effort to make furrowed-brow connection to invoke a phantom vision of China doing similar things to Taiwan, even though they’ve no recent history of anything even touching the sides of the operations of the United States in the 21st century
The thing about the "Maduro is a brutal dictator to be sure" caveats is, what does that have to do with anything? Do you think the US military cares if someone is a brutal dictator? Are you nine?

My mother was a refugee of the Salvadoran civil war. The Americans backed the fascists that took over the country. Now Salvador is run by a pro yankee crypto dictator who has built the largest concentration camp in the western hemisphere. That, is American intervention.

Starmer is determined to bring these back, under the guise of immigration control, even though they didn’t mention any of that in their manifesto.
