Quote:Originally posted by Hero: In this case it appears that he was taken into custody because he committed a violent crime so that deportation proceedings could be initiated.
Quote:It was the rejection of his citizenship application, because of a 2002 misdemeanor conviction for domestic violence, that apparently prompted his arrest. The misdemeanor was the lone blot on his record, his sons said, and had been resolved to the court’s satisfaction with a year of anger management classes. But immigration authorities considered it grounds for deportation. And instead of summoning him by letter to immigration court, where he could have fought to stay in the United States, immigration agents arrested him without warning and shipped him to detention in another state.

Quote:the Wyatt detention center’s director of nursing, Ben Candelaria, replied in a July 16 e-mail message that... “We treat each and every detainee in our custody with the same high level of quality, professional care possible.” In April, Mr. Ng began complaining of excruciating back pain. By mid-July, he could no longer walk or stand. On Aug. 1, Mr. Ng was taken to a hospital, where doctors found he had terminal cancer and a fractured spine. He died five days later.

Quote:Hitler's henchmen were victims of their upbringing. They belonged to a generation of children who had been exposed to brutal physical correction and humiliation and who later vented their pent-up feelings of anger and helpless rage on innocent victims. Safe in the knowledge that they were doing so with the Führer's blessing, they were finally able to give free rein to those feelings without risk of punishment.
Quote:The Führer once told his secretary that during one of the regular beatings given him by his father he was able to stop crying, to feel nothing, and even to count the thirty-two blows he received.

Quote:Originally posted by chrisisall: "these three guys, who are accused of conspiring in the jailhouse rape of an 18-year-old high school student, are former deputies in the employ of the Grant County, Kentucky Sheriff's Department." Geezer is deluded when he points this shit out "There's no way to stop it, no matter how well-intentioned everyone is, or how correct they try to be." as if these are anomalies... This comes mainly from a Nazi-like model, cold, efficient and careless of life. I've joked about telling peeps to shut up, but in Geezer's case here on this thread, I think he should put some thought to it.

Quote:Originally posted by chrisisall: My take is that resources stretched thin or not, this would be an unacceptable way to treat dogs at the city pound, much less human beings. If you can't detain a non-dangerous criminal with reasonable safeguards regarding his or her life, then you just shouldn't arrest them in the first place...or maybe we could take half the stupid money we're paying BLACKWATER MERCS to beef up our need to eject non-citizens in a humane way, ya think?

Quote:Originally posted by SergeantX: Listen to the language these fuckers use. "It's not a perfect world", "the suspect's suicide was a 'personal choice'", "the ends justifies the means". They want us to believe that evil is the only way to keep us safe. They want us to accept this shit as the new status quo.

Quote:Originally posted by SergeantX: It's a casual and forthright discussion of why we have to let our authorities lie, cheat and steal (as in stealing/destroying people's lives) to keep us 'safe'. It's pretty much the same argument that the torture fans keep repeating. And it falls apart with the same conceit. We've forgotten all about innocent until proven guilty. They try to scare us into accepting their authoritarian fantasies.
Quote:I'm watching my nation change under my feet and it's killing me. We are under a barrage of propaganda driving us into fascism. ... We just can't seem to shake the insidious appeal of the fascist mentality. And that's what it is. It looks different than the Nazis. It'll look different than Stalin. But it's the same panic-driven acceptance of that which we know to be wrong.

Quote:We've dabbled with fascism before, usually in the guise of Progressivism. In the early 20th century quite a number of American Progressives and Liberals, including Wilson and Roosevelt, considered Mussolini's Italy a model of enlightened government. Actually, the current Conservative leanings toward fascism are pretty weak compared to those we experienced under Wilson and Roosevelt. During WWI people who refused to sing the Star-Spangled Banner at public events were shot or beaten to death while the crowds cheered. Of course, no one was ever indicted for these crimes.

Quote:Originally posted by Geezer: Been reading recently about the Wilson Administration's trampling of civil liberties during WWI. Censorship of anything not rabidly pro-war. The Sedition Act, banning "uttering, printing, writing, or publishing any disloyal, profane, scurrilous, about the United States government of the military." (your statements in this post, Sarge, would have landed you in jail. Over 175,000 citizens were jailed during the war years.)
