Isn't breaking windows the rather normal MO of ICE-IS at this point?

Ross married his wife, 38, who was identified by The Daily Mail but not named, in 2012. She has parents who live in the Philippines, though Ross's father, Ed, 80, said that she is a U.S. citizen. He did not say how long she has been in the country, stating, "I do not want to go any further than that."

Ross's family and friends describe him as a hardcore conservative Christian and MAGA supporter, who sports "Don't Tread on Me" flags and Trump/Vance stickers. Social media posts reveal him arguing with his family over the white supremacist group the Proud Boys.

His sister, Nicole, posted a photo on Facebook in October 2020 of herself wearing a face mask with the caption, "I denounce and condemn white supremacy," the outlet reports. Ross replied in a comment that has since been deleted, prompting Nicole to respond, "we have to respectfully disagree. You are my brother and I love you, but we will not engage in a debate on Facebook."

The defining word would be murderer

[-] ChonkyLincoln@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

He needs to face murder charges. Lock Him Up!

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

He's an ICE agent. It's a given he's a white supremacist. No one should be surprised.

[-] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

He's a pussy ass traitor who loves defending pedophiles.

When I hear impossibly good encomiums like this pronounced as a defense when their loved one openly gets caught doing something heinous, it has the opposite effect on me, to the point they'd be better off just shutting their mouths. This is from Ed Ross, the murderer's dad:

You would never find a nicer, kinder person,' the father added about his son. 'He's a committed, conservative Christian, a tremendous father, a tremendous husband. I couldn't be more proud of him.' -- from the Daily Mail article

Yeah. Tremendous. That's what people said about Ted Bundy fifty years ago, and it's always the same. This is not a joke and I'm not exaggerating: Bundy was active in his community, very popular to the point he even considered running for public office. The author Ann Rule met him while volunteering on the same mental health help line, helping people to not commit suicide on the night watch -- and the whole time Bundy was doing his weird, dark, vile, unnatural murder shit. Over and over again.

And Bundy is just one instance out of countless many; I can't remember a single time when all this impossibly high praise turned out to be anything more than worthless, empty words after someone really evil gets busted. It's more like a hint to look harder for the bodies.

So when I see shit like this I just think Keep telling me about your Ed Gein spawn, motherfucker. Carry on.

A committed conservative christian in one's dream job since antiquity, murdering foreigners and minorities.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

committed conservative christian

Yeah, this is not the endorsement that conservative xtians think it is. A lot of people hear that and immediately put them in the suspicious column.

defended white supremacists online

i'm sure he treats his not-white immigrant wife like a queen and not a slave /s

[-] slothrop@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

For sure she's got $thousands and a getaway cache secreted close by.

[-] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 week ago

Non-white people can be racist too. She married him so she likely carries a lot of the same feelings and views.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

I'm pretty sure he's a piece of shit.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Excuse you, shit can be used for fertilizer and energy production. What is this chuckle fuck good for?

[-] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago

Tbh, fertilizer might be the best use in both cases.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I would never wish death on someone.

Now a lifetime of significant pain and an extremely itchy butthole… that’s a different subject.

[-] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Imma go with: Reoccurring stage 3 cancer that spreads from organ to organ leaving him in miraculasly survivable unending rounds of chemotherapy and unsurmountable medical debt. And a pineapple up the ass every day at 3pm.
