Op after easing your responses, youâve somehow developed the opposite of a hero complex đ You seem to genuinely think that thereâs no point in trying to fight for a better society bc youâve been told your whole life that itâs not possible (a main point of American propaganda) Iâm also guessing youâre one of those rich ass Mexico City kind of Latinos whose never actually lived in an immigrant community before, based on the other things youâve said abt Latinos
Food for thought: how can Jan 6th be good/bad and LA be the opposite (of whichever was picked) Jan 6: citizens of a country gathered at their nationâs Capitol, holding their nations flag, in support of their legal rights and to give power to their rightful voice in the gov as legal USA citizens LA: citizens of ANOTHER country gathering in a country that is NOT their home, waving a FOREIGN flag, to gain support for people who have NO LEGAL rights and NO GOV VOICE bc theyâre NOT USA citizens
Dude, I donât have time to reply to all these comments but Iâm seeing some major projection here. First, stop acting like you know how everyone thinks. âWe all think weâre the heroesâ (correct spelling btw) like sybau. Thereâs no âweâ and if there really was then youâre no different.
I feel like there are very big problems with the way this administration wants to handle deportations considering the way abrego garica was basically kidnapped and wrongfully sent to an el salvador prison without due process, and that tons of courts demanded his return and the administration straight up refused. I think its completely valid and necessary to protest ICE and oppose this administrationâs approach to deportation bc that is an insane violation of rights and is downright fascistic
ur alrdy wrong. the courts did not demand they bring him back. they said facilitate, which means make easier. the US courts have 0 jurisdiction over other countries and what they do with their citizens in their homeland. again, ur making it out to be in the masses. and donât forget, obama did this 10 fold
crazy u canât see how ur becoming the thing u swear to destroy. doing what they do makes u no better. in fact, it makes u worse bc u see how it negatively affects ppl and then u do it unto others. y wouldnât u want to hold them responsible for their crimes and see them suffer?
You are such a sell out to your own people oh my god you want to be white so bad. There is no justifiable reason to shift towards trump even if this one specific issue does undermine the legal channels for immigration, knowing his long racist history and everything heâs said about mexicans, and youâre still willingly defending him and ICE
??? If anything youâve shown internalized racism talking about âyour peopleâ as if all they do is kill each other in gangs, exactly how trump talks about them. You show ZERO solidarity. It doesnât concern you that someone like abrego Garcia, an innocent man, can be whisked away and sent to an El Salvador prison for no good reason and no due process? You donât give a fuck about your fellow latinos? You donât care that it could be your family next, whether theyâre legal or not?
You are absolutely supporting them by going to bat this hard for them saying he can pretty much get fucked and that the US has no obligation to return him. So just because this administration was elected, they can do whatever they want and we just have to accept it apparently. And what past? He has no criminal record and has lived here for like 13 years working construction and supporting his family
Yeah i just read those documents and that is a huge reach. The basis for human trafficking is that he got pulled over for speeding and there were lots of other people in the car without luggage. Thats it. It wasnât even enough probable cause to detain him, they just thought it was suspicious, probably bc hes latino. And the MS13 allegations come from him being caught wearing a chicago bulls hat, which has historically, in some places, been associated with MS13 because of the horns
Obviously trumpâs immigration officials are going to paint him in the worst light possible so they can cover their ass and make their fuck up not look so bad. But theres no actual, real evidence or court record tying him to MS13 at all, its all circumstantial and hearsay. That shouldnât be enough to illegally deport him with no due process
but you agreed that there IS a moral good so some people are wrong meaning the fact that everyone thinks theyâre doing the right thing doesnât mean shit because regardless of whether they think theyâre doing the right thing or not there IS a right and wrong so this whole line of conversation is useless
That is not good enough evidence to uproot someoneâs life after 13 years of being a tax paying citizen with no criminal record. Thats not how due process works and its clear youâll say anything to lick trump and ICEâs boots and put down other latinos so whatever dude this is such a waste of my time and im mad ive even let this take my sleep
i AGAIN, donât know enough to speak on it. iâm not gonna take some info from some stranger on the internet that spoke on it in 4 lines. thatâs not enough info to come to an informed opinion on such matter. how easy do u think i am? doesnât matter if ur right or not, ppl shouldnât be relying on others for info, thats y americans r so stupid
You donât seem upset at all and were making every excuse about it for trump earlier, making the unnecessary point that courts didnât technically *demand* his return. Iâm getting mad at how much of a sellout youâre being and how unwilling you are to admit that this is not a âboth sides are badâ situation
think of it like this. u start at 0 they both did something that brings it down to -50. one stays there, one does other stuff and brings their number up a little bit to -35, both r still bad, but one isnât as bad in certain aspects. but overall they r still bad and deteriorating. doesnât matter how much good u do sometimes when u do so much bad. youâre still bad, just like the one next to u, j in ur own way
Iâve lived around Hispanic neighborhoods my entire life, and I can tell you that these communities based around gangs or crime. The largest proportion of people be deported from the us are people working food service jobs, retail, agriculture, and contracting. These people were here illegally (technically) but there was a system in place for them to naturally become citizens. What ICE is doing is hitting this part of the community as seen in the abductions happening out of courtrooms
By going for this population, the administration is signaling that there is no forgiveness for immigrants, they donât care if you are trying to become a citizen, they donât care if you follow the law every single day. This kind of rhetoric is exactly how all racially based state violence occurs, first they deport people they can claim are âillegalâ then theyâll take away existing protections like green cards, student visas, then suddenly an even larger population of people will be âillegalâ
The LA protests were peaceful before police intervened, where they fired teargas and rubber bullets at a peaceful crowd. The protest has now become violent (although with no deaths) bc the police sought to escalate the situation and defend ICE in raiding an innocent migrant population (which they specifically said they wouldnât do)
This is not a protest, this is a foreign takeover - and, even BEFORE the national guard arrived, it was anything BUT peaceful. Burning cars, destruction of property, throwing rocks⌠not peaceful. Do NOT compare these protests to the civil rights protests. Those protesters never started cars on fire, destroyed their fellow citizens property, or attacked their fellow citizens These things are NOT the same. YOU may not see that now, but HISTORY definitely will show it.
Fun fact, people who are from other countries, who moved to the US are still Americans! Do you really expect people to show up to an anti establishment protest carrying the American flag? Also there was no violence until the LA police started firing teargas and rubber bullets, the national guard barely has feet on the ground there, this has nothing to do with them
Theyâre only Americans if they got a citizenship. There are videos of cars burning and people throwing rocks and the time on the video is from BEFORE the NG was deployed If you donât love America, WTF did you come here? And if your anti establishment, donât get all pissy when the establishment comes to put an end to the chaos youâre causing
The âevidence of criminal activityâ youâre talking about is just being in the US The vast majority of the people being arrested have no other criminal charges Before ICE, the US had allowed these people to work towards citizenship via check ins. These people pay taxes. These people have jobs inside the community. These people have families, kids, relatives, some of whom are citizens are some not.
If you are here illegally (aka expired visa like the one fashion artist or no visa) you are a criminal bc you have broken the law. I have a friend who came from AU and became a US citizen, so I know how it works. You need a green card if youâre going to stay here and work. The gov has EVERY right to revoke that green card if they want.
The laws apply yes, but youâre still not a citizen of the US, dumbass. A tourist is liable to the us laws but they do NOT have the full rights and privileges of a US citizen and they need a unexpired visa to be here legally Not sure why if youâre Hispanic, yâall suddenly think that doesnât apply.
You still have a court date, tho. You can chose to show up or not - by not showing up, youâre saying âIâm guilty of speedingâ - read the fine print on your ticket next time. And thanks for bringing that up. Cause there are different levels of civil offenses which merit different levels of punishment. A friend in law school who worked for a DA (and whoâs Hispanic, not the friend from AU) said that the judges donât just pick the punishments for these cases. thereâs literally a matrix they use
Your ignorance is glaringly apparent to everyone whoâs got a ticket, bro. My guess is youâve had less than 3 speeding tickets and good for you. When you get a speeding ticket, the officer literally tells you this is your court date and time and shows you where it is printed on the ticket. He tells you, âyou are not required to make an appearance and can pay the fine online but this is the court date/time if you want to contest the ticketâ
Maybe instead of bashing our police force, try having a friendly conversation with them sometime. And ask them if peeps get a court date for speeding tickets You ALWAYS get a court date in case you want to contest the ticket (bc this is America and you have a right to defend urself and ur innocent until proven guilty). Youâre only REQUIRED to APPEAR in court on that date if the speeding ticket is for extreme speeding.
Right and wrong are artificial constructs dude. Everyone has their own sense of the line in between and thatâs part of what individualizes humans. Just because someone thinks differently than you doesnât make them hypocrites. I donât know where youâre get off repeating the same shit forcing people to see it your way.
I know what cherry picking is. I mean why are you asking âwhy anyone would support the side of a hypocriteâ? Both sides have em, so thatâs redundant. If youâre saying we should all be bystanders instead well, thatâs fucking stupid. People support sides for their own reasons, not the beliefs of others.
At first I thought this whole conversation was like talking to a brick wall. I was wrong. This is worse. Itâs more like a broken alarm clock. Repetitive, logical fallacies, and arbitrary lines. Pick a subject and stick with it, donât broaden the scope every time your points get countered.
Iâm glad you mentioned benri, cause that highlights another key difference between Jan 6 and LA The republican representatives never denounced their actions, and refused to admit that the people who participated are criminals even after a police officer was killed Ofc everyone knows that you shouldnât go around breaking windows and flipping cars, but we chose to say that these actions are a result of government chaos NOT an integral part of the movement, and we can accept the legal consequences
Iâm reading heavy aggressive language such as âur the problemâ after youâre bringing up the Democratic Party. Also âu guys donât look at successful civil rights leadersâ. Respectfully, this is an anonymous app. You donât know shit about anyone here. Stop acting like it.
I have looked at successful civil rights leaders and never said whether I condemned the riots or not. Placing me on a side almost. Once again this is you projecting and forcing your opinions onto others. As you said earlier, this is a conversation where everyone is entitled to their own ideas and opinions or so to speak âthe hero of their storyâ (weird ass way to put it).
Now youâre glazing trump over something I never said. At the end of the la riots, the people who destroyed property will be arrested and tried, and no democrat is gonna go arrest that The âprotestersâ from Jan 6 faced no long term consequences, even though an officer was killed in their insurrection
