Pro-Trump Town
On October 19, dozens of federal agents wielding automatic rifles and flash-bang grenades descended on La Catedral Arena, a horse-racing track outside of Wilder. The track had long been a hub for the town’s Latino community
This isn’t LeopardsAteMyFace. This is 100% what those Pro-Trump voters wanted.
Meanwhile, Wilder’s Mayor Steve Rhodes has dismissed the effect the raid had on his community. “These were not our people,” he told the Times. “What happened out at that track had nothing to do with Wilder.”
The fucking Mayor. Guess who voted for him.
Pro Trump town? That’s a pro nazi town.
Is that little kid throwing a fucking Nazi salute? God damn.
Hate is learned, that poor child.
Where’s a book depository when you need one?
Is this fucking real? Don’t they know that actual American patriots have a rich history of killing the Nazis?
And giving them sanctuary in the US. It is almost like we invited a ton of Nazi to join the US. Oh wait, we did literally do that.
These were not our people!? Oh yeah, I get it. They weren’t white!
Meanwhile criminal Nazi chomos are running the local government.
“What happens if everyone who is Hispanic thinks they’re at risk? There’s fear now that didn’t exist here before. I don’t know how you make that go away,” he said.
Really? You don’t know how to make that go away?
Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.
Those stupid fucking hicks are just unredeemable people, at least in my eyes. Fucking loser assholes.
Yeah like I try to have empathy, but these are the people that we’re expected to come to an agreement and work with?
An impossible task until they are personally affected.
I hope it cripples their town and everyone that enabled this to happen
I’m sure the community will rally together to save their community against the invaders.
Oh, you mean helping each other and being empathetic are liberal traits, and they only value looking after themselves even when their community depends on cooperation? Well, I’m sure they can each farm their own food.
And they’d vote for him again. Nothing learned here.
While state and federal officials praised the raid as a crackdown on an alleged gambling ring, only four people have been scheduled for trial on gambling charges. And agents seemed to have another purpose altogether.
“The one thing everyone got asked was, ‘Where were you born?’” Neal Dougherty, an immigration lawyer, told the Times in the story published Monday. “Not, ‘Did you see gambling?’ Not, ‘Did you participate in gambling?’ Just, ‘Where were you born?’”
While a black military-style helicopter circled the scene, federal agents zip-tied the hands of most adults and some teenagers. Several hundred people were detained for four hours. In the end, 105 people were held for immigration charges, and 75 people were deported.
I dont understand why they communicate on the gambling. Does anybody care if they’ve broken the law or not ?
I saw a story on Facebook about a Trump supporter who supports the deportations being deported. One of the comments said of course the law should be applied equally to everyone but they should start with criminals first. Hold the phone. Am I misunderstanding or are they admitting that they want the law to be that non-criminals get deported eventually? Apply the law to everyone but criminals first. As if there’s some reason to apply it to non-criminals. Yes, the law applies to everyone, but if someone hasn’t broken the law then applying it to them is irrelevant isn’t it? The law against murder applies to everyone but murderers first. Well, if I’m not a murderer than it’s kind of irrelevant to say the law against murder applies to me. What would applying it to non-murderers even mean? Am I misunderstanding something because of my autism or is that commenter admitting that they want the law to eventually punish people who have done nothing wrong?
It’s simple what they were sold
You vote for Trump, he’ll remove all those violent criminals. What they couldn’t see is in the administrations eyes, anyone not white, or white and not complying are painted as criminals.
there’s an information vaccuum created by all media being designed not to inform, but to persuade
information vaccuum
Yeah between that and the 297,000 idiotic things that are being said and done. I tried curating just the real vile shit for a while, but it’s absolutely exhausting.
What they’re referring to are people who broke no laws other than being in the country illegally. I dont agree with it, but that is the reasoning.
Yeah, maybe I was overthinking it a bit and they were saying they want the law against illegal immigration applied to everyone equally but people who have broken additional laws first. I’m very literal minded and thought by “criminal” they meant people who have committed crimes and that illegal entry into the country qualified as a crime. In my mind, they were implying the law should eventually be applied to people who have broken no laws, not even being in the country illegally.
But regardless of what that individual meant, I think the ultimate goal of Trump’s regime is to criminalize even people who have broken no laws at all
Illegal entry is a misemeanour, rather than a felony, which in the minds of many Americans, is only barely a crime.
Sadly, the great strides we have taken against racism have led many Americans to support the racists, thinking they and their loved ones will not be affected.
“What happens if everyone who is Hispanic thinks they’re at risk? There’s fear now that didn’t exist here before. I don’t know how you make that go away,” he said.
Have you tried not voting for shitheads? You never can tell. It might just work. It certainly hasn’t been tried yet.
RIP “not voting for shitheads” July 12, 2016
Goes way further back then that lmao
But is the most recent possibility. Probably the only one I can remember in my adult life.
Leopards are full Another face? Okay I guess, munch munch munch.
60% latino community, voted largely for Trump…
Well that just sounds like masochism with extra steps
Whoever heard of nazis using gambling as a pretext for oppression?
I’m shocked. Shocked!
