Trump's Concentration Camps are Designed for One Thing--Stimulate a RIOT!

.

The more I see the images of these concentration camps, the more it dawns on me that Trump is trying to get people to riot, so that he can claim how violent they are. Can you imaging living months like this?




These things are just chain linked fences with no upper barriers, almost like they are inviting an escape attempt.

If anything, the fact of not rioting is a sign that they are more well-mannered than Americans.


Your thoughts.

The detainees know, however, that regardless of the cruelty of their incarceration in these concentration camps, it will be far worse should they take direct actions against their captors.

It's a street expression.

Meant as a metaphor of when too many rats are crammed in a small space, they literally go insane. And they start biting out of fear, outrage, high adrenalin, etc. They bite themselves; they bite each other. Pretty soon, all you see is bleeding "red rats" as they attack each other and can't stop themselves.

According to federal government data, over 60 percent of people are held in privately-run immigrant prisons. For example, GEO Group and Corrections Corporation of America/CoreCivic together detain approximately 15,000 people in immigration detention per day

I found this article at NPR https://www.npr.org/2017/11/21/565318778/big-money-as-private-immigrant-jails-boom

The entire article is disturbing although this paragraph of the article explains a lot.


The two largest private corrections corporations, GEO Group and CoreCivic, each gave $250,000 to Trump's inaugural festivities.

An as American who has spent most of my life 'free', that farce of a cage isn't gonna hold for long....because there aren't enough armed guards to keep ALL OF US, in there.

The 'guards' should fall asleep every night counting their lucky stars those are mostly CHILDREN in that dog kennel, and not grown ass adults with Moral Centers, is all I'm sayin.

Refugee riot in 1980 gives glimpse of Clinton in crisis
Mark Matthews
THE BALTIMORE SUN

WASHINGTON -- It was the biggest crisis of Bill Clinton's first term and the most violent of his career:

Hundreds of angry Cuban refugees, breaking out of Arkansas's sprawling Fort Chaffee army reservation in 1980, attacked state police and National Guardsmen with broken pieces of sidewalk and even live snakes before being driven back inside by batons and buckshot, where full-scale rioting and burning ensued.

Vastly outnumbered police, meanwhile, kept a worried watch on an inflamed local populace ready to defend family and property with all the guns and ammunition at hand.

Mr. Clinton went to the scene by helicopter, got briefed, backed the use by the state police of deadly force and authorized additional manpower. He demanded more military assistance from the White House and, after President Jimmy Carter dispatched an aide to Arkansas, announced a federal pledge for improved base security and worked to ease area residents' fears.

His quick and calm response, as recounted by state police and National Guard officials, failed to prevent the Cuban refugee issue from becoming an overall political disaster for Mr. Clinton, contributing to his defeat in 1980.

This is just throwing red meat to his brain-dead, bigoted cult followers. Those sickos love cruelty, and he's giving it to them in spades. Yeah, having these people riot would feed into his narrative, but I don't believe it's his main intention. The immigration raids are just another facet of that. He is rallying his troops.

In addition, this is also just another excuse to loot the Treasury, and pour money into the hands of private contractors. $750/day PER PERSON for that????
