We should hunt this wire "reporter" down and show him some of the facts about the murdering ICE agent from his family.

9. Maybe ICE goons "should wait for more facts" before murdering innocent people on the street.

Maybe they should figure out whether the people they're targeting are the ones they're actually looking for before killing them.

ICE removed the evidence and prevented any investigation.

If she was at the age where she could run against Susan Collins, she would run circles around her.

3. I'll give kudos to the reporter and the young woman

The reporter was respectful to her and didn't interrupt her while she spoke. Nor did he try to debate or argue with her or ask her misleading questions. When the young woman started talking about Trump being a pedophile the reporter got her back on track concerning ICE in the area.

The young woman spoke very well and and wasn't flustered by speaking to a reporter. She knew what she wanted to say and she said it.

he seemed generally interested in what she had to say

and I do understand his point about "waiting for the facts" - but when people are literally being KILLED on the streets, that changes the dynamic - what ICE is doing is CLEARLY un-American and CRIMINAL

10. The pedophile is using these ICE raids to distract from his sexual abuse of children, so they are connected.

between Trump being a Pedophile and what the ICE goons are doing. She wasn't falling for the reporter's effort to separate the two crimes against innocent humanity--both perpetrated by the same man and his associates.

15. I disagree about the reporter. He had an opinion and he kept pressing it. She just wouldn't let him.

He was clearly trying to head off her criticism of ICE. That's not the job of a reporter. A reporter is not there to tell us what he thinks. He's there to gather facts and report them, and to interview people. And if he's going to interview someone, it isn't his job to try to mold their reaction to whatever event he's reporting on.

17. The Maine Wire is like Breitbart of Maine

and while I agree that he at least was respectful towards her he wasn't really there to give unbiased coverage. All of his reporting for the Maine Wire has been criticism of the protestors.

The young woman was fantastic. I don't think the reporter expected that.
