"I need 10 dudes in Dallas with determination (guts) who aren't afraid to" kill, which Aguilar allegedly communicated by finishing the sentence with two skull emojis.

The argument for skull emojis meaning kill seems like a stretch from the prosecutors

[–] TheMadCodger@piefed.social 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He meant mark them as raid bosses.

[–] AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

skull first, circle second, triangle third

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 week ago

Yeah, isn't this "aren't afraid to [die]"? People don't usually ask "are you afraid to kill?". Like, the later isn't a totally invalid question, but it's a weird way to approach it, while "not afraid to die" is a pretty straightforward sort of statement.

So, this guy gets arrested. The people that were talking about throwing people into gas chambers?

"I need 10 dudes in Dallas with determination (guts) who aren't afraid to 💀💀"

👎

Sarcasm and plausible deniability are your friends homies.

"It would be terrible and so very awful if ICE agent in Dallas came across 10 dudes in Dallas with determination (guts), and who aren't afraid to 💀💀"

I probably wouldn't put that out there either, but at least he could argue that he was being sincere in his concern.

💀💀 ~ crack skulls

💀💀 ~ dress up for holloween with me

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe the skulls mean "aren't afraid to die".

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

That's actually what I assumed it meant until this comment

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Not smart, my dude.

A-fucking-men

Incitement to commit murder is a crime.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Incitement must be imminent and specific.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

This specific case might be specific enough, but generally saying "kill all cops" or "cops deserve death" would not be.

[–] klammeraffe@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 week ago

Murder is for when a person kills a person.
