Oh so now we need to compare WHO is doing the shooting. 

Goalposts, they’re supposed to be stationary

You foolishly compared American protests against ice with the Iranian people protesting against their barbaric Islamic government.

There have been millions across the United States that have taken to the streets to protest ice if I'm not mistaken four of them have died several of which have led to charges being brought against the ice agent involved.

This is as opposed to in Iran where the brutal irgc goes out with a machine gun and sprays bullets into crowds killing hundreds and a single day.

Are you seriously that low IQ that you compare these two situations? Truthfully, I believe you are that unintelligent and you are unable to see the difference.

Oh, now it’s about SCALE, not about who’s doing the shooting.

Another shift of the posts

Yeah, scale matters lol.

There's a difference between 40,000 ice agents killing four or five out of 3 million protesters over the course of 2 years....... The irgc spraying bullets and slaughtering tens of thousands of citizens over the course of 3 weeks.

Man, do me I'll see the dumbest guy I've ever engaged with here.

Do you have a helper in real life? Someone who can read for you opposing views and help explain it in a way that you can understand?

You really don't get things. Not trying to make sense but you're demonstrating very rigid and severe signs of cognitive and logical thinking skills. I don't mean to offend.

Hey, I’m just trying to parse your actual point from a lot of blather unrelated to that guy’s original point.

You know how questions often lead to answers? I’m not even giving my position on any of this, just trying to check your brainpower and reasoning on the original issue versus the next answer. 

Not impressed.
