Caption from a photo in the article: An ICE protestor could be seen firing a gun directly towards federal agents

Hint: When he's shooting at someone he ceases to be a "protestor".

Also notice that it manages to put “ICE” in the subject of the sentence. It takes a lot of brain processing power to perceive that an “ICE protestor” is protesting AGAINST ICE, not FOR it. Even if your intellect processes it correctly (as most non-stupid people would admittedly be able to do so quickly that the correction is made before they realize they ever needed correcting), the instant of ambiguity dulls your emotional response enough so you don’t form knee-jerk reactions against those scary protestors.

In a just world, he would be thereafter known as the deceased.
