Folk #1: The American Gestapo, ICE & Border Patrol were back in our sleepy, happy little town yesterday. There were about 5 helicopters overhead, buzzing & circling like mechanical vultures, and I saw a burly, mirror-shaded officer in an unmarked vehicle on the corner of one of my familiar intersections. The day was a beauty; warmer temps, glorious sunshine, massive blue sky. It was certainly disturbing, and maddening to experience the clash between the Authoritarian Hellscape vs. Glorious Beauty on a Wednesday morning. There was one helicopter seemingly hovering over me as I walked down the path. I couldn't help but once in awhile pause, look up, and give it the finger & shout "Fuck You." I wasn't the only one unhappy about this surreal scene. Folks all along the path were shaking their heads, wondering WTF happened to our town?
Word later came that there was a raid going down near a Home Depot, the heavy hand of government oppression was targeting our neighbors and friends. Our tax dollars were being used to terrorize, harrass, & detain retail workers, landscapers, teachers, home-care workers, etc. I must say ICE & Border Control are doing a magnificent job of radicalizing our community. The opposition against these disgusting operations grows by leaps and bounds. Safe to say most of the folks here hate this Nazified version of America.
Our mayor, our city council, are united in opposition to these terror tactics. They are losing the folk one raid at time. FUCK ICE. These agencies must be abolished, or heavily reformed. And the perpetrators of these human rights violations must be held to account. They are an obscenity. A blight, & a black mark on our country.
