Reply #2: You can tell the calibre of a society by how it treats people caught [View All]

[Dhalgren]

in the circumstances of these folks. This society kills 'em and then covers it up. What other society in the past took "undesirables" and put them into detention where many died and then they tried to hide it? Oh yeah...

And the Obama bunch?

"...the documents show how officials — some still in key positions — used their role as overseers to cover up evidence of mistreatment, deflect scrutiny by the news media or prepare exculpatory public statements after gathering facts that pointed to substandard care or abuse."
...one man lay dying of head injuries suffered in a New Jersey immigration jail in 2007, and they conferred at length about sending the man back to Africa to avoid embarrassing publicity."

This isn't the result of a "few bad apples"; this is systemic and it makes no difference which party is in power, the system remains in place. Disgusting...
