TWAD came about firstly to crush the chinese, then black people, then mexicans, and now finally the poor.
Your entire criminal justice system is a mockery of the concept of "justice". "Just"? Please.
Again, downvoted due to speaking the truth. I'm disappointed, HN.
The war on drugs started in California, to lock up Chinese immigrants who were taking "American jobs". They smoked opium. 1909.
Next came Cocaine. Used to be rich white folks, but then black folks started using it because it was getting mightily affordable, so you made that illegal too, so you could lock them up. Because they were taking "American jobs".
Next, the mexicans. Hemp. Useful crop. Nope, it's Marijuana, the devil's own drug. Lock them up too, keep them away from "American jobs".
Now, finally, there are no "American jobs", because you wanted everything cheap, and yesterday, so pure economics pushed your productive labour force overseas (nobody moved, but the centres of labour did). Cue mass unemployment and drug use, as the underground economy is pretty welcoming. Whoops, don't like them either, lock them up.
America was a nation built on immigration.
Now it's a nation built on incarceration.

- ScottWhigham 14y agoNo, he's not downvoted for "speaking the truth". He's being downvoted for the hyperbole.
- madaxe 14y agoYou say hyperbole, I say history.
