Lou Dobbs says ICE employee 'is within his rights' to plow his car into peaceful protestors

Early on Thursday, Daily Kos’ Gabe Ortiz wrote about an ICE detention center employee plowing his pickup truck into a group of peaceful protestors who were blocking the entrance to his detention center. Jewish activists from the Never Again Action filmed, as a Wyatt corrections officer drove his truck into the crowd, then tried to plow further when the truck was surrounded by others trying to help. The optics on this crime would seem impossible to obfuscate, even for a hallowed-out soul of an organization like Fox News. But you would be wrong. Lou Dobbs, a man that paid a demon to give him hair of Howdy Doody, but also the soul of a wooden puppet possessed by a toilet filled with cinders, knows who is at fault—the peaceful protestors.

Former Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan has been a regular on Fox News as of late, brought in to give angry old racists some authoritative consoling that the fascism they are seeing performed every day by the guys they voted for isn’t really fascism, it’s legal. In this clip, provided by Media Matters, Dobbs gives the leading question, filled with the fascist talking point, and Thomas Homan—the former head of a fascistic law enforcement agency—is pleased to ramble through.

Dobbs: I know that it must just gladden your heart to see a bunch of demonstrators at an Immigration Customs Enforcement facility blocking the path of a guard and then complaining about the fact that he sought to do what is within his rights, which is to proceed to park his vehicle and go to work.

Homan: Well, exactly. First of all, a lot of protesters nationwide have shown up to ICE facilities, it makes you wonder if they even got a job. Besides this, they got to understand, ICE employees, especially our contractors that run our facilities for us, they're on edge, Lou. And I don't know what happened in this incident but our employees are on edge. We've had someone shoot at an ICE office yesterday in San Antonio, barely missing, by inches, an employee, murdering one of our employees. I showed a video today on my Fox—I did a Fox op-ed today and I released a video today from a one of our facilities in Tacoma, Washington, where the man shot up the building then he tried to blow it up with propane tanks and catch the building on fire —which would kill 1,300 people in that building, many were locked up. Hundreds of immigrants would have perished in that if he would've been successful. Thank god Tacoma PD were able to take him out quickly. But ICE employees are on edge. They're under attack. And our contractors are under attack.

Yes, you did just watch a man drive a pickup truck into a group of unarmed, peaceful people. No … something about propane tanks a few thousand miles away makes it legal. Lou Dobbs is a vile human being.

1. "Stay tuned for our ethics panel discussion: When is it OK to burn down Lou Dobbs's house?"

9. +1000000!

What cranky scum Lou has become.

[Iliyah]

2. fake news (Murdoch) has been and continue to be one of RW's

source to promote violence towards anyone who's ideology is not theirs. They always have be along with RW's hate radio the source of hatred, racism and "fake, false" information. RWers hide behind the Bible while carrying weapons of MDs.

Unfortunately, there are more "fake news" out their as well. Apparently, they will be competing against each other of who is the most vile.

Bring back the "Fair Doctrine".

4. What is the protester decides to invoke "Stand Your Ground" laws?

and shoots the driver on the oncoming car?

[babylonsister]

7. Maybe that should be put to the test. nt

5. Dobbs must have been all-in with the Charlottesville car murderer

This ICE detention center incident and Dobbs' reaction to it is yet another episode of the dehumanization process. His devolving from a mainstream business commentator to all-out Nazi has been quite remarkable. Not sure whether he does it for the money or to vent hatred. Possibly both.

8. You first Lou, YOU FIRST

Or

Are you a coward like your bud Hannity (ya know the waterboarding coward)???

Perhaps you'd change your tune if this happens to you, you over bloated excuse of a human.

10. Louis Dobbs is desperate to remain relevant in the

World of the Deplorables.

11. two spins don't make a truth

babylon sis: Lou Dobbs says ICE employee 'is within his rights' to plow his car into peaceful protestors

Have to disagree on this one, sis et al, that is not what he said.

Dobbs: I know that it must just gladden your heart to see a bunch of demonstrators at an Immigration Customs Enforcement facility blocking the path of a guard and then complaining about the fact that he sought to do what is within his rights, which is to proceed to park his vehicle and go to work.

The vid shows the ice employee started very slowly towards his parking space & stopped about 5 ft before sitting protestors, the protestors got up from sitting, he proceeded very slowly forward, stopped, appears everybody got out of his way & nobody hurt. I did not see him 'plow' into anyone.They bumped into him as much as his car innocuously bumped into them.
If this were neo nazis or trump supporters 'blocking the way' of rachel maddow or a dem candidate would we be blaming rachel or elizabeth for plowing into them?
Not calling interview by fox or lou dobbs correct in their spin of it either, just that two spins of hyperbole, do not make one truth.

Plow, oxford (first, no; 2nd perhaps, 3rd perhaps, but first is the worst - did not happen) :
2.0 (especially of a vehicle) move in a fast and uncontrolled manner. ‘the car plowed into the side of a van’

2.1 Advance or progress laboriously or forcibly. ‘they plowed their way through deep snow’ ‘the students are plowing through a set of grammar exercises’

2.2 'plow on' Continue steadily despite difficulties or warnings to stop. ‘he plowed on, trying to outline his plans’
