Democrats and the Legacy Media Need to Start Denouncing Violence Around ICE Now, Before More Die

Everything is violence from words to assault, and even things that can be interpreted as threats that weren't must be denounced... unless it's happening against groups or persons who the left doesn't like, in which case, it somehow flies under the radar or gets redefined as something other than the violence that it is. 

As reported by Sister Toldjah on Monday, a man attempted to ambush Border Patrol agents in McAllen, TX, resulting in the death of the shooter and the injury of two officers and a border patrol employee who were taken to the hospital.

As Toldjah noted, an Axios article had some very interesting confessions from Democrats, stating that the time to get violent has come, and people need to risk getting shot. 

Well... one did. Now he's dead, and good people who are just doing their jobs are injured. 

Why is this happening? Why are Democrats feeling like they want to resort to this level? 

Because they've been repeatedly encouraged to, and not just in regard to deportations and illegal immigration, but pretty much anything that the left considers to be sacred to them. 

As White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the press during a briefing, these people who protect the border and deport criminals are good men and women who have families and lives outside of their jobs. Yet, because they are the vehicle through which something the left doesn't like is carried out, they're suddenly not worth defending in name. 

In fact, they've been villainized by the media and Democrats in office, and this is the constant pattern from the left. 

Denounce, vilify, and target persons or groups, then sit back and watch as leftists resort to criminality to combat them. 

You see this in the attacks on ICE.

You saw this with the attacks on police and citizens during BLM.

You saw this when a crazed gunman shot up Senate Republicans in Alexandria while they were practicing for a baseball game. 

You saw this when an assassin tried to kill Donald Trump in Butler, PA. 

Violence from the left with little to no commentary from Democrats or the legacy media. In fact, as I write this, I've only seen one Democrat applaud the Border Patrol and McAllen law enforcement officials, and that's Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34).

The media does its best to ignore these kinds of things, or if unavoidable, they'll spin it, much like the press did during BLM or any given Antifa attack. When the "nonbinary" shooter killed six during the Covenant School shooting in Nashville, Terry Moran attempted to blame Tennesseans and their laws that didn't cater to the transgender movement's agenda. 

Yet, if violence happens in a way that displeases the left, they're all over it like white on rice. 

They vilified Kyle Rittenhouse to the point where destroying his life has become a priority. He acted in self-defense, and that's been made clear in court, but that doesn't matter to the left because the running narrative is that he killed black people.

He didn't. He killed two white people in self-defense, one of whom was a pedophile and a serial abuser, and injured a third. 

They blamed Sarah Palin for Gabby Giffords' shooting in 2011 because she put up a map with crosshairs on it where political races needed to be focused on. The shooter didn't even have any connections to Palin, and leaned left. 

To this day, Rand Paul's neighbor is still invoked by the left when he makes them mad, which is all the time. 

Apparently, it's okay to assault and shoot at Republicans, just don't shoot a criminal charging at you, or the legacy media talking heads will put their hands up in solidarity. Definitely don't let a violent criminal, who's so full of fentanyl that it could kill a horse, die while you're restraining him, because if you do, they'll worship him like some sort of modern saint. 

The left has created an environment where violence is moral if it's done against the right people, and the right people just so happen to be in opposition to the Democrat agenda. 

This needs to be turned around right now. Every Democrat needs to come out and begin denouncing the violence. Every legacy media outlet needs to start highlighting this violence as a societal negative. 

And this all needs to happen yesterday. People are already getting hurt and dying, and if this proceeds to escalate, then this is all on the left. No questions. Period.
