Shooting at Dallas ICE facility
A shooter on the roof with a rifle, engraved bullets, and there are two dead victims plus one in critical condition. The shooter killed himself. The target was an ICE facility, and the bullets had anti-ICE messages.
This morning, a deranged gunman attacked a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Dallas field office from a nearby rooftop. The shooter fired indiscriminately at the ICE building, as well as at a van in the sallyport where the victims were shot.
We can confirm, the shell casings were found with anti-ICE messages on them. This was an attack on ICE law enforcement.
This horrific attack occurred amidst the 1000% increase in assaults against @ICEgov. Politicians and media pundits must stop the vile lies and smears designed to demonize and dehumanize ICE law enforcement.
Interesting message. Why do they call him “deranged”? (See my previous post today for a longer discussion of whether such killers are “crazy” or not.) He’s dead now, and I doubt we’ll ever know – except for the fact that completely “normal” people don’t ordinarily do such things unless they think they’re combating great evil and are part of a noble resistance underground, such as in WWII.
That’s where the role of the “vile lies and smears” against ICE come in. However, although apparently the killer was aiming for ICE, his victims were all detainees.

Sounds like an interesting strategy.
He was using a Kar98k, the German standard rifle of WW2. It was an updated version of the WW1 G98 rifle, and not cutting edge in WW2.
It’s the military version of the Mauser sporting rifle Kurk’s killer used.

See Xpost for screenshot of 8 leftists exclaiming *We don’t believe he’s “anti-ICE” because he only shot detainees!*
We’re back to “He really hates these cans!” (only in this case it’s tinted windows he hates, rather than cans): https://youtu.be/rlVVWImGd9E

They call them deranged because that is how they believe they can plausibly deny that the person in question is not just a normal lefty with the courage of their convictions.

But why would DHS want to deny that he was a political actor?

because it’s an inference anyone can make for oneself while they stay impartial.
As poor locutions run, I was more irritated at this:
“in nature”? Really? Come on. Nature is too important to be treated so casually.

You are confusing a later meaning of “nature” with its root and still existing meaning. The nature of the attack is the same thing as what kind of attack.
The Nature with a capital N is shorthand for “the nature of everything” but in reality “the nature of everything that pre-Socratic philosophers thought existed” because once the term was invented, Plato and Aristotle came along and said, not “Nature contains more things than they thought” but “things exist that aren’t Nature.”
C.S. Lewis’s *Studies In Words* is good.
Lewis may be good, fine. Homer is better, and Plato is no potted plant. Stupid dogmatic moderns.
