  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.

One Trump voter issued a tear-filled video regretting his decision to vote for the president after his brother, who served with U.S. special forces, died while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

In a video posted to social media, Naseer Paktyawal tearfully recalled his brother's service to the country and the moment that ICE "kidnapped" him in front of his son, Imrin. ABC News initially posted the video.

...

"I saw two cars unmarked. Seven, eight people jump out of those cars," Paktyawal said. "One on the driver's side, one on the back of his car, and grabbed him from his seat and put a handcuff on him."

Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal's son, Imrin, was also featured in the video and recalled witnessing his father's arrest. "I was standing there, and then they came and just take him," the boy said.

Imrin added that he was "standing there" as the agents hauled his father away. "I was like, just don't take him, please," Imrin recalled.

According to Paktyawal, he later received a call from an ICE facility. "I thought they were going to release him back," Imrin said.

"He said, 'Are you, Naseer?' That's me," Paktyawal said. "Your brother Mohamed Nasir Paktyawal passed away this morning and his body is laying down in a parking lot in the hospital."

...

"My first vote was for this president, and I regret it, and I'm gonna regret it for the rest of my life," he added. "Because of me, because of my voting, He got arrested, and he lost his life. And I'm never going to forgive myself for that."

CNN reported that he was taken by ICE agents outside of his Dallas apartment and died less than a day after being in ICE custody. His family said that Mohammad had no known health conditions and had been seeking asylum in the U.S. since his arrival in 2021.

No, sir, it was Biden and the Democrats fault. My actions could never have caused this. /s

Part of me feels really bad about this and another part of me is thinking womp womp.

When a lying cheating criminal, convicted of dozens of felonies, tells you he is gonna do bad stuff if he gets reelected, and you vote for him, the bad stuff he does is on you too. And you get to live with it.

The real victims are the ones who recognized the evil voted against it and had it forced on them anyway.

See Stephen Colbert and turd soup. It is most enlightening.

y'all really fell for the "empathy is a disease" meme

the most incredible thing about conservatives is their ability to self-replicate. when i die in a natural disaster caused by government cuts the only thing you'll remember about me is that I'm from a red state, fuck em

It spreads like a virus now...because women aren't fucking conservatives anymore unless they are forced to.

Wtf

died less than a day after being in ICE custody. His family said that Mohammad had no known health conditions and had been seeking asylum in the U.S. since his arrival in 2021.

Wtf?!

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 hour ago

Sounds like they abducted him and murdered him and then dumped his body and they're not even trying to hide it.

By their Persian-sounding names, I'm assuming they're Afghani. It seems like this is one of the families the US brought out to protect them from the Taliban. People who worked with the US forces while they were there.

But his name was Mohamed. So clearly that's why ICE did this to him.

At least his brother has more self-awareness than most maga idiots whose family members get taken away or killed. This is the first time I remember reading anyone who voted for trump saying "I'll regret my vote for the rest of my life."

Welcome to America, where the rules are made up and your death doesn't matter.

[–] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They cold-bloodedly execute citizens whose families have been here for generations, in front of dozens of witnesses, and on camera and nothing happens to them.

A citizen s life is worth less to them the the cost of the ammo they use, they don't even view immigrants as people.

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 9 points 1 day ago

It's not about viewing as people or not, they don't view them as equals, or deserving, but of the enemy, and that includes the good's and pretti's.

They are all worked up about those that oppose them, have total backing to abuse those people, and next to nothing to fear of reprisals from the states they operate in much less the fed government.

How much does minneapolis suck that they haven't put out warrants for pretti and good's killers? It's on fucking video, and the shooters are identified. You don't need fed information cooperation. And you fucking knew this was going to happen, or should have.

We need all new leadership.

Exactly, wtf. How did this guy die?

I'm guessing the Meal Team 6 highschool dropouts didn't like having an actual service member in their midst, and executed him.

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 11 points 1 day ago

I think it's likely the guy got mouthy, his brother is in the armed forces, actually believing these Chuds give a shit about veterans, they don't and never have. It's cynical posturing on their part and while we know they've fucked EVERY group of vets to the best of their ability, despite maybe the WWII ones, (only because WWII vets were too numerous and powerful after the new deal and war.)

So the Ice or whomever beat him to death or whatever. Same shit. Never get mouthy with cops, sadly it never works out well, at best you walk away as you would if you kept your mouth shut. There are ways of fighting an unjust system, mouthing off to security services with near complete control over your life and death with little consequence to themselves, is not one of them.

Exterminated by the mobile extermination team and dumped on the street.

He had a brother called Muhammad that had been seeking asylum yet still voted for the guy who wanted to deport all the people who were seeking asylum, especially if they had a name like Muhammad

But he already got the citizenship, so the "fuck you, I got mine" mentality set in

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 13 points 1 day ago

MAGA are cowards in every sense of the word. I hope this particular one feels guilt over causing his brother’s death. His bigotry resulted in his brother being killed by his savior’s gestapo.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 22 points 1 day ago

He won't. He will vote for the populist asshole that gives him good feelies at the moment

There are many people who have lost loved ones exactly the way you did, who will suffer for the rest of their lives, and they're going to regret it for the rest of their lives, because of you, because of your voting, they got arrested and lost their lives.

I will never forgive you for that.

Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers you wretched fuck.

[–] AgentSeven@lemmy.zip 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

33% of this country thinks everything is going great and so would this asshole if his brother was still alive. I'll feel a shred of sympathy for the first one I ever see say "I want to apologize to everyone whose lives were affected by my vote, I didn't care about what happened to you, only me. I won't make that mistake again." I'm still waiting and I'll be waiting forever because these sociopaths have not the slightest trace of empathy.

I still have zero sympathy for anyone who voted Trump. Double so if you're not white straight male who voted Trump. There were a multitude of signs, and people warning you of your decision and you went forward anyway. This is all his fault
