    “I need 10 dudes in Dallas with determination (guts) who aren’t afraid to” kill, which Aguilar allegedly communicated by finishing the sentence with two skull emojis.

    The argument for skull emojis meaning kill seems like a stretch from the prosecutors

      Yeah, isn’t this “aren’t afraid to [die]”? People don’t usually ask “are you afraid to kill?”. Like, the later isn’t a totally invalid question, but it’s a weird way to approach it, while “not afraid to die” is a pretty straightforward sort of statement.

    “I need 10 dudes in Dallas with determination (guts) who aren’t afraid to 💀💀”

    👎

    Sarcasm and plausible deniability are your friends homies.

    “It would be terrible and so very awful if ICE agent in Dallas came across 10 dudes in Dallas with determination (guts), and who aren’t afraid to 💀💀”

    I probably wouldn’t put that out there either, but at least he could argue that he was being sincere in his concern.
