Are you saying it was use of diverted meds or because he was in pain management?

“[Cornett] then described his anger at illegal immigration, telling the detective that he was ‘pissed’ about undocumented migrants receiving welfare funds, phones and health insurance, and that he had ‘driven around before with the same thought,'” court documents state. “[He] later asked the detective whether he could be ‘charged for [his] thoughts,’ and went on to explain that he fantasized about flying an Apache helicopter gunship to the border and firing on undocumented migrants traveling into the United States in order ‘to deter’ other undocumented migrants from attempting to cross the border.” Cornett’s housemates also told detectives that he was “kind of obsessed” with cable news stories about undocumented immigrants entering the United States. Notably, neither victim was identified as an undocumented immigrant within court documents.

A Virginia guy hunted a Latino man, cornered him, questioned him, and then shot him and his friend, because he assumed the guy was an undocumented immigrant. He was radicalized by Fox News etc. and, of course, Trump. www.wric.com/news/local-n...

My stress is from under treated pain.

The typical ones are praising this.

There are people that are fine with this. Or sending people that have been here most of their lives. That work, pay taxes. “They’re taking our jobs”, really?

And children. Not those dangerous criminals. They are picking them up when they appear in court. This is like the DEA going after doctors instead of cartels, they don’t shoot and it’s easy to find their assets. They probably have quotas/bonuses.
