It’s mildly infuriating to me the people in this thread debating the meaning of the tattoos, because it totally misses the point. I don’t think we have enough information to be defending his character, and it DOES NOT matter at all. He could be a stone cold murderer and I still wouldn’t support extrajudicial deportation.
Basically, his character is all an irrelevant smoke screen. Stop engaging with it. It doesn’t matter. What the Trump administration did was illegal and sets a terrible precedent, even if the dude was a murderous gang member.
To be fair, it’s sort of the way of the internet and modern western society to love to nitpick and especially nitpick character flaws, and maybe some of that accidentally bleeds into spaces and people that want to be above such things (or at least not in a reductive or destructive way)
