Why does character matter when it comes to oppressed minorities? [View all]

Character doesn’t matter for them when it comes to their cult leader, but it does matter when


- George Floyd was murdered (tried excusing it because of his past)

- Ahmaud Arbery was killed for no reason (tried defending it through his past)

- Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deported without due process (bringing up his past wrongdoings)

A person who makes bad choices is still entitled to certain legal protections and you can’t just do literally whatever you want to them just because of their mistakes in life.

We’re not defending illegals or criminals. We’re defending legal rights.
