Imagine being so ignorant, racist and historically illiterate that you can’t accept that Iranians want to overthrow their decades-long oppressors without being “manipulated” by the US or Israel.

12,000 Iranians have been killed by Khamenei’s regime for protesting. Who is wearing pins for them? Who is signing open letters for them? Who is posting their names on Instagram? Why don’t Iranians deserve the attention of Hollywood’s biggest stars?

Most who say Good's murder was unjustified are relying on video. Most who say it was justified aren't looking for evidence that it was NECESSARY, they are resorting to speculation to prove it was DESERVED. That's not how you justify a tragedy, it's how you justify a celebration.

My dad witnessed armed men in masks and fatigues pull people out of vehicles and shoot civilians without caring about bystanders. He also fought against those people. They were the Khmer Rouge
