Border Goon With Racist Troll Account Bragged About Escaping Justice

Source: daily beast


LAWLESS
Timothy Donahue’s colleagues gunned down Alex Pretti in the street. Weeks earlier, the federal immigration agent boasted he would never face “justice.”

A Border Patrol agent exposed as a bigoted online troll boasted that “no justice” is coming to him as scrutiny grows on the actions of federal immigration agents involved in President Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Timothy Donahue, 38, sent a private message on X to another user who had taken him to task over his online activity, and asked whether he feared future repercussions for his behavior as a federal immigration agent. The interaction took place the day after the Daily Beast published an article about a report linking Donahue to an account littered with racist, sexist, and anti-LGBT posts.

The allegations about Donahue’s account emerged after he had been identified as the agent filmed threatening to shoot a bystander during a tense standoff between locals and federal law enforcement during an operation in Illinois in October.

“All you liberals are simple-minded. It’s hilarious,” Donahue wrote to the X user in December, who had initiated the exchange by sending the Border Patrol agent a crude direct message asking him how he would cope were he ever jailed. “The real question is, what are you gonna do about [it]? There is no justice that comes to me...”

I saw it in my community back when the good ole boys were doing all kind of hijinks. Whenever they were found out they said the same thing:

what are you gonna do about [it]?

Yes. This is why white privilege exists. No one holds them accountable.

He has job security for maybe the next three years, and then, after that, can’t put his work for ICE on his resume, along with thousands of other agents hired in the past year.

He has charted his path for the foreseeable future, and doesn’t even realize it.

I just hope he doesn’t have kids.

Since they're not much on reading, just a quick look at what happened to Robespierre and his followers.
Then, what happened to collaborators when France was finally liberated from the Nazis.

When thousands of pissed off citizens rush at you, you will not shoot, you will run.
After being caught they will take your rifle and jam it up your ass! (Quite literally!)
Tough talk, bitch!

Yet, recently it was announced that this will be the job of ICE when Rubio and (can't remember the other one) are in Italy. The "talk" is saying that the ICE goons who have murdered not only Pretti and Good will be the ICE goons who are going to Italy under the pretense of security patrol. It is a way that the F45 regime can prevent their prosecution. (although there's always prosecution in abstensia.)

He should be on his knees begging God for mercy and forgiveness but when you don't have a soul that's something that never crosses your mind.
