www.newsweek.com Texas Republican proposes public executions of undocumented immigrants

In a video posted on X, Gomez simulated shooting a migrant, presenting it as her proposed solution for those who commit severe crimes against Americans.

Summary

Texas Republican Valentina Gomez sparked outrage after releasing a video proposing public executions of undocumented immigrants who commit violent crimes, claiming it would act as a deterrent.

The video, shared on X, simulated Gomez shooting a hooded dummy representing an undocumented migrant.

Her comments followed the arrest of a Guatemalan immigrant for a subway murder in New York.

Known for far-right provocations, Gomez’s remarks drew sharp criticism from political figures and activists, with some praising her stance while others condemned it as hateful and extreme.

I have used this image under a Republican headline [ 4 ] times.
- The TV needs to have the swastika, not Marty mcfly.
- good bot
- When it stops being true, you can stop replying it...

She not only thinks this, but took the time to plan this out. At no point while thinking about shooting immigrants, or building a dummy to represent an immigrant, or taping its arms and legs, or putting it in a chair, or loading the gun, or setting up a tripod to film it, or pulling the trigger, or loading it to a computer to edit it, or uploading it, did she think maybe this is a bit much.
Disgusting human trash.
- What are the chances that one of the motivations for these people is profit. ? I mean, seriously. Is there profit potential here for these creators whose content goes viral, or does it only satisfy their sadistic blood lust ? Misanthropy of the highest, or direct connection to the cult?
  
  One thing the rise of the Internet has led to is people's desire not for information about the world around them, but for echo chambers that just repeat what they want to hear. For others, finding that echo chamber isn't enough. They need to be in the center of that chamber causing the echo. Eyes and ears on them, always. And for these people, no level of extreme is too much so long as it results on the attention being focused on them. Not only do they want to find the echo chamber, they want to control the echo chamber to ensure that it will always continue to just tell them what they want to hear.
  Profit and consolidation of power are secondary motives, but that is the primary. And the reason that it's the primary is that they know that if they're successful, the profit and consolidation of power are soon to follow anyway.
- I'm not arguing this isn't horrible, because it is, but it isn't "too much." She gets articles written about her stance against immigrants, which is beneficial to her. The people voting for her obviously aren't turned away by this crap, so it's only a positive for her.

You want to watch people die... like the watching part is important to you?
If you want people dead, I'm already not on board. The watching part makes it clear there's not hope of reasoning with them.
- I think they want to be the shooter. Blood lust. The kind of thing you'd hope a good background check before a gun purchase would catch.

I wonder what would happen to someone who did a video like that except with a dummy of a CEO? I suspect the reaction would be huge amounts of screaming, condemnation, and an arrest for promoting terrorism. But this video? it's juuuust fine. Nothing will happen to her, probably not even having her video taken down.

Wtf is up with these Hispanic nazis?
- two major things to keep in mind
  a) majority of hispanics in the US have been there multiple generations. while they may hold some varying level of ties to their family's home country, they've more or less been mostly americanized and are effectively just a different flavor of "american"
  add in the fact that these are a more socially conservative people who more likely to be religious and it makes sense why they have been moving to the right. GOP could have taken advantage of this a long time ago. I think it's strange that Trump is the one to finally harness this group of people, but I guess reality is stranger than fiction
  b) the US isn't stupid and it imports right-wing anti-left people. For example from Cuba or Venezuela. Miami has a massive Cuban population and they're all descendants from people fleeing the communist Castro regime. The Cubans are bred from birth to believe the Castro regime was evil and they're told all about the horrors (conveniently nobody remembers the just as brutal Batista regime, coincidentally supported by the US).
  So all it takes is for there to be a connection between "democrats -> left wing -> communist" and all the Cubans turn against the DNC.
  what I find fascinating is that you talk to a young Cuban who is one or two generations separated from Cuba, they have all sorts of horror stories and hatred for the Castro regime.
  But you talk to an old-timer, someone in their 60s or 70s and they have nostalgia and nuanced views. Sort of like how people view the Soviet Union.
  If we're gonna summarize all of this I'd just say this- assimilation. We're watching the process of how Irish went from "ethnic minority" to "white" and hispanics are going through a similar process
  
  Sort of like how people view the Soviet Union.
  I've never met anyone personally who speaks fondly of their time in the USSR. Tankies online who are too young to have lived through it are the only ones.
- kinda stockholm syndroming. german christmas market attack was a saudia arabian refugee voting for the newer german Nazis "AfD" that also Space Karen likes.
  so the dumbest of migrants seem to overcompensate their lack of identity.
- I mean it might not be too relevant (as I know the majority of the Hispanics youre referring to aren't Spanish per se), but I'd like to remind people that Spain was a fascist dictatorship up until 1975, when it became a democracy.
  I'm sure they at least produce media that's enjoyed in other Spanish speaking countries idk but nonetheless just a thought I had
  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francoist_Spain
  (It's really not related to the thing here the right wing propaganda Hispanics in America are being subjected to probably isn't from Francoist Spain
  
  Spain didn't exactly just become a democracy after Franco's death in '75, things were very iffy well into the eighties, or at least until they joined NATO in '82. The military even attempted a coup in '81.
- Spain raped brown people, then made fun of the product of that rape for being brown. This has had very bad repurcussions for racism. And they trained them to hate themselves. So now there's a lot of mexican cucks.

i'm proposing public executions of Nazi scum, cool?
- Make this law
- Accepted!
  Next week official definition of nazi changed to "Either left or right wing extremist not affiliated with federal goverment of USA" ^^
  
  then let's use "right-wing asshole who spits on the human rights of others" as the definition. the gallows- and guillotine industries will have a nice economic upswing

She’s one of the people Trump would deport just because of her name anyway

Sounds like terrorism to me

If I do this but it’s the CEO of a health insurance company, then I’ll get sued out the wazoo.

Luckily she's never been elected to anything so far.
She's a Colombian immigrant herself apparently and still has the accent so I'm not sure the racist crowd she's appealing to with this message is going to rally behind her as opposed to whatever other Republican is running.
- She was wealthy enough to get elected. She'll likely just be able to skate on out once someone realizes that she's on The List.
  
  That's what some Jews thought too....

We didn’t kill enough slavers or Nazis
- There's still time.

Y'all Qaeda at it again.

Shouldn't the headline be "Republican said something terrible to get the media talking about her, and we've done exactly what she wanted"?

How about televised executions of politicians that do not do their elected jobs
- I'm thinking televised executions of insurance CEOs that do do their jobs
  
  In China they have no issue executing billionaires who try to fuck around. This needs to be normalized.
  
  Run them in split screen and you got an unstoppable ratings behemoth

I agree that Americans need to shoot more people, we just disagree on who.

Texas? Everything I could find says Missouri. Is there more than one crazy Republican politician named Valentina Gomez, or did she move to Texas after losing in Missouri?
https://ballotpedia.org/Valentina_Gomez
- I believe I had read that after losing in Missouri she decided to try in Texas.
  
  a quick search confirms this.
  huff post for example.
  I'm sure there's plenty of other republicans saying this, just not quite so... publicly...

NGL, that's a good looking meme setup.
Would be a shame if someone happen to put words like Luigi or healthcare CEO. Not saying what order though.

How long until we find out that she or her family members are here illegally?

JFC. What a horrible person.

More distractions
- Yes and no. The monsters are using migrants as a scapegoat to distract from the outright theft that's about to ramp up.
  But the thing about a scapegoat, they're still killed.
  When a monster tells you what they want to do, believe them.

Regressing .... America is just simply regressing at this point.
- At this point? Try decades ago.

Yeah when they said the "camps" thing, I knew it wouldn't be too long before we actually heard this.

I wonder how Democrats will triangulate a compromise with this.
- Being strung up with them, hopefully
- What if we just execute them but make it a Pay Per View event? We can raise money for helping out other immigrants
  
  Pelosi's portfolio suddenly has like a billion shares of whichever streaming service

She hopes by showing her ass that the whites won't spend her as a token.
But they will.
Dumb fascist cunt.

Need to see a Venn diagram of the commonalities between ISIS and republicans.
- It's one solid circle.

So if someone replicated the video but had "CEO" written on the hood it would be terrorism?
- Sounds like it should be a quick and easy edit
- If someone did that then lemmy would be cheering. The only problem people have with this video is that she's hurting the wrong people.
  
  I mean, also the immigrant probably didn't get disgustingly wealthy off the suffering of others?
  So yes.
  Apples and CEOs

When even the Department Of Justice publishes reports that more severe punishments, explicitly including death sentences, don't work for deterrence (see points 4 and 5 of their summary), people really should start thinking about better ways to prevent crime.
(Personally, I'd propose tackling the conditions that force crimes, particularly those of desperation, as well as reevaluating the catalogue of what really counts as crimes, particularly if there's no victim, but on here, I'd be preaching to the choir.)
- tackling the conditions that force crimes, particularly those of desperation
  aka corpos making less money, never happen
- honestly i'm a little radical here. i think we should totally eliminate prisons
  there should be two fundamental types of crimes
  ones that are forgivable and we deem the individual capable of rehabilitation
  ones that are unforgivable and we deem the individual incapable
  in the 2nd case, we should just execute quickly and quietly. this should be reserved for the extreme cases. you know, those guys that chop up their parents and start eating their ears or the ones that abduct little girls for who knows what. what qualifies for this can be debated, i'm not surely exactly where we draw the line. for example should rape count? should a murder of passion count? i don't know
  in the first case, we should take all the money we spend on prisons and instead focus it into rehabilitation programs. so for example let's say an addict is caught shoplifting. instead of hauling them off to prison, forcibly put them in a rehab center to detox. then put them in some sort of public housing and give them a job, give them free methadone, etc.
- they should. but then again it is america...so they won't. f'yeah. idiocracy is coming. have some raw milk.

What does a loser who desperately needs attention look like?
- President?

Are we talking about her? Who got 6th in the elections ? who even has this photo?
I just can't stop laughing.

Exodus 20:13. I know they don’t care about their own book, but it’s terrible how far so many people have drifted from our sacred connections between humans, whatever that means to you. Killing one another cannot solve our problems.

this is from the same types who would have political ads shooting their opponents yeah?

So they're going to execute Elon Musk. Right guys?

Psychotic cunt.

Death cult.

Y'all queda indeed.

"But this is just a stopgap policy on the way to public execution of all migrants"
- And the homeless with the rhetoric space karren is putting out lately.
  
  They are never going to run out of deviants to persecute.

Gomez, hm.

Say it once, outrage. Say it again and again, and it becomes normalised. This shit always starts somewhere.
- Okay, that happened faster than I expected

This isn't even the first time that Gomez has revealed herself to be a loathsome piece of shit.

Feliz navidad

🤦‍♂️ Of course she moved to Texas.

what will these pieces of turds not do for a grain political power?
- The right thing.
  
  I am sure if it was their only option they would do that too. they are just going for what they think sells

The fifth commandment: Thou shalt not kill.
- Enough people believe that it doesn't apply if you just dehumanize the victims enough :(
- You've made the common mistake of assuming these "churchgoers" are religious. They're running the grift.

That will play well to their base.

Depose
- Dispose...

In America, you can be anything you want. So don’t be weak and gay.

The replies................ https://xcancel.com/i/status/1871288974071001265
- Fucking hell... Many of those sound like they're either bots or from people who have been consuming too much content from bots.
- widespread regurgitation of conservative views at disproportionate scales may imply manipulation by an unknown party.

And if you call these people anything else than "moderate, christian-democratic, center-right, conservatives", you're being dramatic...

disgusting. These conservative nutjob terrorists disgust me.

Backward degenerates.

Man, the headline is really leaving a critical criterion out to get more clicks, isn’t it? (I’m blaming Newsweek for this, not OP.)
- They'd get fewer if you actually said what that was instead of alluding to it

Everyone might remember Juan Carlos Hitler Gomez Dela Paz Y Pavon Vergozo el pequeño. He was doing pretty good in Germany but then one day things turned dark and we all know what happened. Valentina beware right?

Human by design, Christian by Culture, Asshole by Choice.... just like all conservatives

Didn't this crazy bitch fail utterly during the elections too?
