Violence goes on-air to stoke anti-immigrant hate

It was always going to be like this on Fox. Fox was always headed in this direction.

"Fox News host Sean Hannity’s interview with former GOP New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa took a shocking turn when members of Sliwa’s Guardian Angels group gave — live on air — what Sliwa described as “a little pain compliance” to a person he said was a migrant and who he claimed had been caught shoplifting.

The camera turned to film the members of the Guardian Angels bringing the unidentified person to the ground. Hannity eventually cut away from the scene but later returned to Sliwa to find out what had gone down."

Shocking Fox News Moment Sees Guardian Angels Give Man ‘Pain Compliance’ On Live TV: “His mother back in Venezuela felt the vibrations,” the group’s founder Curtis Sliwa boasted to Sean Hannity, adding the man is now “sucking concrete.” Lee Moran, HuffPost, Feb 7, 2024

By the way:

"...the man, according to an NYPD spokesperson, is from the Bronx and police didn’t have evidence to support the claim that he had been shoplifting." (HuffPost) (see also the AP)

Part of the purpose of stunts like this is to foment suspicion of people's nationalities, languages, and races and to encourage violence.

The culture is brutal. We have to find ways to survive.
