Ms. Bradley, the co-owner of Woodlands Elite Cheer, said she worried that a detainee could escape, or that protests could break out. The children who train at her gym are as young as 3 and could see “people in shackles” next door, she said.

So this article is about NIMBY people.

    Yep, she isn’t concerned that there are concentration camps just that she might have to see them.

    I await the follow up interview with Ms Bradley where her new fiancé has been swept up in an ICE raid but she is heartbroken because he was one of the good ones, sure she voted for this, but never thought it would hurt her.

    I’m sick of reading articles about people being upset that their plan to hurt others might have some minor downside for them.

    Last month, the federal government bought a warehouse next to her cheerleading gym in Surprise, Ariz., which the administration plans to convert into a detention center for up to 1,500 immigrants.

    Ms. Bradley, the co-owner of Woodlands Elite Cheer, said she worried that a detainee could escape, or that protests could break out. The children who train at her gym are as young as 3 and could see “people in shackles” next door, she said.

    So it's more NIMBY and not so much concentration camps are bad in general.

    Think of the children! No, not the incarcerated 2 month old criminal. The poor cheer squad who has to witness dehumanizing abuse in our concentration camp next door. Can we put up some walls or something?!

    “That’s a scary thing for a little kid to process,” Ms. Bradley said.

    Yeah, it's a little scary for the children being detained too.

    Stacy Bradley voted for President Trump because of his border policies, and she likes that he has restored “law and order.” But she is unsettled by one aspect of his immigration agenda.

    Stacy Bradley’s a complete fucking moron.

    And to add, what fucking law and order? He's literally covering for pedophiles (including himself) making sure they don't face the law, and hasn't faced punishment for his criminal charges.

    Armed larpers are patrolling the streets kidnapping people, sending them to other countries without trial.

    A government propagandist was shot at a college. (rest in piss)

    Big protests are happening in all major cities.

    What order has been created? If anything the USA is in much more chaos (not enough if you ask me, but that's a different talk).

    They are concentration camps. Warehouses are not for people.

    Depends on what you consider people. I'd argue that a morgue is a corpse warehouse. But regardless yeah no unless you are dealing with a Katrina level shit storm and need to house as many people as possible because the environment itself is trying to kill everyone nobody should be kept in a warehouse like this. Fuck even by shitty American standards the Japanese internment camps at least had barracks and eventually proper housing.

    I don’t really care what Trump voters think. I’m well past that. They are fundamentally morally-corrupt individuals.

    In this case, the enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. Nothing more.

    Always has been. Sometimes my enemy's enemy and I want the same thing for a little while.

    Holy shit, a Schlock Mercenary reference in the wild. I think I've only seen once before, also on Lemmy. Probably you, I'd wager.

    We blocked it in KC and the developer abandoned the sale! Huge victory. Someone else could still try to make it happen here, but they have some big hurdles.

    Fuck ICE (and Mark Alford who tried to get the ICE prison here)

    They're totally okay with the building of concentration camps and putting innocent people inside them. They just don't want them built where they can see them. NIMBYism isn't resistance.
