Followed by US natural born citizens by year's end.
I don't have up to date knowledge about this American stuff and what is happening but I'd like my gov to deport and send somewhere far away certain criminals. Why not send all convicted rapists and pedophiles to some desert. I think it should be nationality agnostic thing
The way this works is they make you feel so afraid of criminals that you want someone cruel in power to protect you from them.
Problem is they need to keep you afraid and keep on being cruel to maintain power. So they will constantly be adding groups of people to the list. The eventual outcome is you may be added to the list and sent to a gulag. But maybe if you're lucky you won't and you merely live in fear that your government will execute it's cruelty on you if you ever speak out.
Living in a system dominated by fear and cruelty isn't how I want to live. Why do you want to live that way?
I don’t know what you are talking about. There is no cruelty or fear. We just send the rapists and pedos in space or elsewhere. Somewhere far away
Is that causing you to tremble
The person sent was not charged with any crimes.
75% of the people sent to CECOT from the US have no criminal record and might be completely innocent. It could be you, someone you know, or someone you might be able to scrounge up empathy for.
I'm not the one living in fear, you are.
I'm fine with criminals being held in a prison in my own country and still having human rights no matter what crime they committed because I haven't been made to be afraid of criminals. They're the criminals that did horrific things to people, I don't feel the need to do horrific things to criminals (which would make me the same as them) because I'm afraid.
