FAFO: ICE Protester in California Loses an Eye After Rushing Agents and Getting Shot With Projectile (VIDEO)

A young ICE protester in California lost the use of his left eye this week after being shot with a projectile after rushing federal agents.

Who is to blame for this? Certainly not ICE. The protester himself and the people who egged him on deserve the blame.

You know what the worst part is for this person? He is unlikely to win any kind of lawsuit over this because it was caused by his own actions. Now that he has exhausted his use as a tool for the left, do you think any of his leftist comrades are going to step up and help him?

The Associated Press reports:

Protester blind in left eye after federal agent fired projectile at Santa Ana protest, family says

A demonstrator was hit in the face with a projectile fired by a federal officer at close range during a Southern California protest, leaving him bloodied and with serious injuries, according to video and accounts from fellow protesters and family on Tuesday…

The demonstrators came up onto the plaza, where a handful of agents stood in riot gear and held crowd-control gear. At one point, officials forcefully move a demonstrator back down onto the steps, and the group continues to chant as the agents appear to urge them to move back. Later, an orange cone can be seen rolling up onto the plaza, and officers begin firing munitions as they walk toward the crowd. It is not clear if the cones were thrown and by whom.

The injured demonstrator, identified as 21-year-old Kaden Rummler by his aunt, is seen on video shouting through a megaphone along with others outside the building, where several officers are stationed in riot gear. The officers approached the crowd, then grabbed another demonstrator by the arm, identified in a federal criminal complaint as Katelyn Skye Seitz, pulling them onto the steps.

In response, Rummler and a few other demonstrators step forward, shouting. One of the officers fires a crowd-control weapon, striking Rummler from several feet away. Rummler grabs his face and falls to the ground. An officer grabs Rummler by the shirt and drags him backward across the ground, the video shows.

This is the aftermath:

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough because it's dangerous to. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind… pic.twitter.com/hlUBppcrMq

This is terrible, but was so easily avoidable. Was it worth it?
