In your name


Got five minutes?

Watch the video below. You'll see corrupt, incompetent, racist, uncaring Border Patrol officers leave a sixteen year old boy to die in a concrete cell. This boy, Carlos Gregorio Hernandez Vasquez, a 16-year-old Guatemalan migrant, committed no crime. But this child's sentence for fleeing poverty in his country was death.

All of this is being done in your name by the government of the United States, due to the racist policies of the Trump Administration.




Oh, and on top of all of this? The Border Patrol apparently falsified records showing he was being monitored, and then lied about the incident to the press and other authorities. The whole story is here:  ProPublica.

If Trump is still in office next year and you vote for him, then you're voting for this.

You're just choosing one isolated incident to try to demonize Trump even more. These kinds of things happen under EVERY administration, this is just about your own personal hatred of Trump. Strictly speaking you couldn't give a tuppenny damn about the kid who snuffed it, you're just looking for any reason to get Trump thrown out.

Anyone who looks at this and responds with a defense of Trump, especially with that response being the typical tu quoque fallacy that Trumpers love, is morally bankrupt.

Defend this without invoking Clinton or Obama. You can't, and you can't because it's fucking indefensible.

Someone who has replied here needs to shove those laws up his/her knockhole.

"One isolated incident"? At least six children have died under ICE "protection".

It's really not that hard to find reasons to get Trump thrown out, because there are so many.
