"Accused of being gang members" lmao let's be clear here 90% of these dudes literally have gang tattoos 🙈
Also you can cover tattoos at any time, it's not that hard.
I've been in the tattoo scene since the 90s and have a full body of tattoos myself and everybody knows that a gang tattoo is a point if no return and basically the dumbest thing you can do. If you went there then I have zero sympathy for you.
"innocent until proven to have tattoos"
Even if 99% of them are actually gang member, then there is still a bunch of innocent people locked up. Using the word 'accused' or 'suspected' isn't meant to cause doubt, it's to make clear they haven't been convicted. I really wouldn't want to be falsely accused and treated as these men are, and it's really awful knowing some of them could be there without having done anything wrong.
But they're innocent until there's proof of guilt. Sending people to forced labour encampments because of their tattoos is just a different nazi move.
Can you point out the criminal statue against certain tattoos? After that would you mind showing me where they were convicted for those tattoos. Then I'd appreciate a link to the federal sentencing guidelines on tattoo-related offenses that suggest forced labor camps overseas.
Even if they are gang members they still should have due process and a trial. This is one of the foundations of our legal system. Where does that leave us if we just leave it to law enforcement to throw anyone in prison without any oversight? That’s straight up authoritarianism you’re arguing for.
This administration really shows how little of a fuck the party that won't stop jerking themselves off about the constitution actually give about what it says.
What are you talking about. This is El Salvador not US.
Have a read of the article old bean. They are being sent to El Salvador from the US, in violation of any number of US laws, including the big one, the Constitution of the USA.
Nah dude you shouldn't expect non-americans to keep up with clown show. Keep your clowns in your clown car.
Then why are you here, clown?
You mean on a global platform on a global community?
Is that your stance on immigration then? Clowns in wrong car? Because that's a shit stance on immigration that is.
What? I'm not an American
I'm not a Dyson sphere. But what do either of these items have to do with our conversation?
The conversation is about meme in El Salvador and your bringing in American politics lol
The conversation is about American politics, because American politicians are illegally sending these men to El Salvador.
Lmao, that's your response to not reading the article before commenting? Talk about clowns.....
Honestly, when I was a kid, one of my classmates dressed up like that and I'm pretty sure he would tag around the school. The kid was a trouble maker. But that doesn't mean much when I realized that he was homeless and his mom would still clean him up and send him to school.
