Summary
Welsh tourist Becky Burke was detained for 19 days in a US immigration facility and transported in chains like “Hannibal Lecter” after alleged visa violations.
Burke had been backpacking and staying with host families in exchange for help around the house, which authorities suspected breached her tourist visa conditions.
Deported on March 18, she described the ordeal as traumatizing. Her parents criticized the harsh treatment and are considering addressing the issue politically.
Bullshit. Too many stories are coming out that prove that’s a lie.
Fuck America and fuck Trump.
Anyone who’s been arrested here knows what a bunch of bullshit that is. The psychopath American people created a legal system that’s as harsh and dehumanizing as they could possibly make it under the constitution, and now it’s going to get worse.
The cop car seats are made out of hard plastic, and there are no seat belts. They literally want you to fucking die on the way to jail. It happens in a regular basis, and no one cares because this country is full of vengeful sociopaths. They don’t care if you’re innocent or guilty. They don’t care what you were charged with (for me it was smoking weed). And that’s just the beginning.
The American people have made it plainly obvious for decades that the constitution is just a piece of paper that gets in the way of their bloodlust and cruelty.
Anyone who’s surprised by America veering into fascism has only known this country from a coddled point of view. The current dictatorship is a wet dream for a lot of Americans, and they aren’t going to change their minds until he destroys the country, and even then they’ll probably celebrate it.
The “according to the law” line gets me, the laws are inhumane, you’re not a good person because you enforce nazi laws
There is no law anymore. This is full on dictatorship. Judges are being ignored. SCOTUS is complicit.
Trump’s tenure really exposes how many people work in various law enforcement functions apparently just for the privilege to humiliate and hurt people.
At all levels too. I mean, why the 24 hours a day fluorescent lights so you don’t know night from day? How does that help? Hell, how does it even make more money? Even with senior management, the cruelty is the point.
Uhhhh, that shits been exposed for way longer than krasnov has been around. Y’all just weren’t paying attention.
But now they openly agree, admit, and even brag that the cruelty was the point.
I still don’t think that’s a recent phenomenon.
I agree. It’s always been bubbling under the surface. Trump ignited the filth.
Y’all are not on the same page. That shit has been out in the open for ages. Its not been hidden, its not just surfacing, its not been getting worse. Its always been there, y’all have just been fucking oblivious.
When you have people decrying the “sin” of empathy. Then, yes, cruelty is the point.
And he is their patron saint now.
The War on drugs has been going for decades with bipartisan support.
