Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, 18, turned on his camera as immigration agents arrested him—after he told them he’s a U.S. citizen.

    The cruelty is the point.

    Very soon the people who still have a conscience in this country will be lying to ICE when they come knocking.

        “hide in the attic”

        You are a country of absolute pussies.
        And this also in the country where anyone can get guns.
        If you pacified sheep don’t fight for your rights as you always boldly claim to do in your imaginary land of the free you deserve what you get. No sympathy here.

        You dox these pigs, go to their homes and shoot them in the snout, weaklings.

          My wife is a legal brown immigrant. There has been a gun within reach, anywhere in my house, since Trump was elected. Also, I don’t go unarmed when we’re in public.

          Yeah, the reason people in minorities don’t do that, is because then it gives those in the majority an easy excuse to go full death camp. “See? They (xyz minority) are all evil terrorists, so we have to kill them all right now”). Getting justice is much more difficult than your little edgelord joker fantasy.

            Keep making excuses for your cowardice.
            And all those white dem libs crying online, are they a minority?
            “if we keep quiet we might not get a beating”
            Total slave mentality

    Reminds me of this history fact about the movie Metropolis (1927):

    Much to Fritz Lang’s dismay, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels were big fans of the film. Goebbels met with Lang and told him that he could be made an honorary Aryan despite his Jewish background. Goebbels told him “Mr. Lang, we decide who is Jewish and who is not.” Lang left for Paris that very night.

      I have heard it stated (yesterday, which is why this is “top of mind”), that “Talmudic Investing” suggests 1/3 of one’s assets in items that can be carried out of the country when a distasteful government gains power.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Lang

      Lang said it was during that meeting he had decided to leave for Paris – but that the banks had closed by the time the meeting was over. Lang claimed that, after selling his wife’s jewelry, he fled by train to Paris that evening, leaving most of his money and personal possessions behind. Despite this, Lang’s passport of the time showed that he traveled to and from Germany throughout 1933.

      Anyway.
