this is being done on purpose in the hopes of violence breaking out so that lethal force can be taken. It is only a matter of time before it does. People can’t be kept in these conditions before something gives way. Time is of the essence. This is terrifying.

I would put nothing past MF45. Nothing. The border patrol Facebook debacle...those assholes are itching for a fight.

I doubt that violence will break out. They have no weapons, they only have each other, and they are all there for the same reason -- trying to escape violence and death in their homelands. How many episodes of violence were recorded in the Nazi concentration camps? They depended on each other, they commiserated with each other, they helped each other as much as they were able.

These photographs are going around the world, and as far as I can tell, the only people/nations who are blaming the "inmates" aka asylum seekers, are the Trumpistas. No one else.

All it will take will be one desperate soul pushing back or making a comment for a racist POS CBP agent to go nuts. This can’t continue.

It's probably hoped that the prisoners will eventually riot out of sheer desperation. Then that event can be used for propagada purposes, and to justify...I scarcely dare think what
