Even if a shooting is justified you still have to go through the courts, spend soooo much money, and hope you get a favorable outcome.

That's the difference between you and them.

For the last two years, ICE and the rest of the federal government have made it pretty clear ICE employees are untouchable, legally speaking. Why wouldn't he use the force he's been granted free license to use at will. Justified or not, he genuinely believed there would be no consequences; because until now, there hasn't been.

I've been with one of these guys and it's this: they spend decades fantasizing about "getting to" kill someone. If someone breaks in or picks a fight or whatever socially acceptable reason presents itself, they will finally get to kill someone. They spend decades fantasizing about it. Then they join ice and think they'll finally get to and they're right.

Violence against woman is common among fascists.

For a very long time, people like this have been digesting right-wing media that has convinced them that liberals and brown people are not human beings. Liberals and minorities are dangerous animals and killing such individuals is doing a service to the greater good. When ICE hires them and gives them a badge and a gun, it's the final proof that they're really the good guys and it's okay to pull the trigger.

but for the life of me I can’t get inside this type of person’s head space.

My guess is the bottom-of-the-barrel people willing to sign up to be ICE contractors knowing what the job is have previously been powerless and ignored before in their lives. Signing up with ICE gives them a uniform, a badge, limited authority, and a weapon they see as a means to force people to comply with their authority.

So when a pair of unarmed woman called him out for what he was, ignored his perceived authority, and were not intimidated by his uniform and badge, he used his state issued weapon to enforce his version of authority by shooting one as they walked away after they had emasculated him. He couldn't [let them get away with it].

You are the kind of person who should be carrying.

“Contractor”. Among the many problems with privatized prisons, This guy is going to discover his employer will disown him, ice will claim “not us”, and he will not be held above the law with a presidential pardon

No. This guy works for the Geo Group. They run the concentration camps, but they’re not ICE specifically.
