Agents tried to detain Castro Rivera and the three other passengers, and he fled on foot, tried to cross Interstate 264 in Norfolk and was fatally struck, according to state and federal authorities.

DHS blamed Castro Rivera’s death on “a direct result of every politician, activist and reporter who continue to spread propaganda and misinformation about ICE’s mission and ways to avoid detention.”

    As an insider it’s bizarre. There’s a lot of fear here, and it’s exacerbated by the fact that there’s a large and very vocal, and very violent minority who is intermixed throughout the populace. That minority is being coaxed on to violence by the oligarchy, actively.

    Then we have the “prodding outsiders” who believed the American exceptionalism propaganda exports, and are now shoving that in our faces goading us on “why won’t you be the first to stand up and get shot in the face? Why won’t your heroes DO anything?!”

    Because most of us are kind, gentle, very tired people who are probably waiting for this to all “blow over” which likely won’t happen by itself.

    Thanks for your concern I guess.

      I think it’s just so unreal for many. I understand that most people are scared and tired too. I am Apprehensive of what is coming because it’s the innocent who get the brunt. I wish Peace and love could win through.
