    Of course, by the headline, you’d assume “shooting at Texas immigration facility” and “8 accused” would mean “8 people fired shots at the facility”…

    But the reality is that 8 people had guns on them, (claimed for self defense), ONE guy in the group shot a police officer pulling up to the (already mostly dispersed) protest OUTSIDE an immigration facility, and ALL of them then got accused.

      This is so much horse shit. They couldn’t prove the other attendees were colluding with the shooter at all. They were convicted on optics alone.

        Felony Murder type laws probably?

        Like if 5 folks show up to a robbery and one kills someone they all get charged with murder.

        My response is more of a “how” not a “why”

          No i mean why would he open fire on police after everyone is dispersing and there was no immediatr conflict. Most activists ae smarter than that. There was no reason to escalate. He was by definition agitating and was oviously not very well vetted if they all knew eachother
