El Salvador has informed the United Nations that it holds no legal responsibility for the more than 200 Venezuelan men whom President Donald Trump ordered to be sent to its maximum-security Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) prison earlier this year...

Well them maybe the UN can get them and at least help them get to Venezuela. It has to be better than being in prison. I don't know man. Something needs to be done.

My compatriots need to get with it and do something. But yes, the UN, possibly Venezuela.

This is America, we only fantasize about fighting for rights over here.

This absolutely unhinged thread proves my point.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 8 points 1 day ago

Sure let's go ahead and restart the pointless argument, that sounds fun.

The mentality "Why did this person punch me, all I did was steal their wallet, how dare they" is indeed extremely unhinged. There's a lot about American society that considers property "rights" of the wealthy to be sacred and personal safety of the normal people to be optional, and sure, that's fucked up on a systemic level. But none of that applies to street pickpockets. Fuck 'em.

(I sort of suspect that there's a lot of overlap between then "there is NEVER a reason to assault a person over your property" contingent and the "there is NEVER a reason to call the cops" contingent, too. At least when they are talking in internet fantasy land, I sort of suspect that if someone came in their house and started rifling through their belongings they wouldn't have this turn the other cheek stance about it.)

Also:

Shit one had fake elctric wallets to shock the shit out of thieves and only got em confiscated

Lol fuck yes

We only shoot school children and firefighters. That's what the second amendment is for.
