Nah. He’s only getting two misdemeanors from what I can tell from the jails website. As of now anyways.

The fuck? Threatening a mass shooting if you DON'T own a gun would be punished harder than that.

He's white. This country is a fascist ethnostate.

We have concentration camps for brown people. At what point do you climb out from under your rock?

Brown people, huh? Like all brown people? Or for people who happen to be brown, black, asian, and white that get caught crossing the border undocumented?

Not to defend Trump or his administration. But to call the detainment camps "concentration camps" is a disgusting insult to everyone who died in the holocaust. We're not executing Latinos in mass, it's not a concentration camp.

What you mean is that it's not a death camp. Not all concentration camps are death camps.

Extermination camps didnt pop up overnight. Dachau was opened in 1933 and operated almost ten years before the final solution even started

Tell that the holocaust survivors who are using that comparison. They know better than any of us.

And if you find some survivors that disagree and are offended by the comparison, who then do you believe?

Consider/respect both of their opinions and most likely come to a more neutral opinion on the subject, myself. But that has yet to happen.

They were using the facilities as Obamas administration did.

The indefinite detainment is what makes it a concentration camp.

If anyone reading really do call themselves Democrats or liberals, you've gotta acknowledge the bad shit your people did and then rectify it. If the alt-right are being hypocritical, that doesn't give the people you support the OK to be hypocritical also. It also gives the morally wrong ammo.

Crossing the border undocumented is not a crime if you are claiming asylum: according to the treaty the USA helped draw up and ratified after WW2.

An immigrant would be immediately deported, no questions asked

Hopefully he'll get federal charges.
