US Border Patrol is out of control

Daily Kos covers the point plank killing of a young woman by US Border Patrol. This is not the first time and it has to stop. Police abuse – and executions – of minorities has to stop. Now. It is the cruelest, sickest, grossest thing I've ever imagined possible. A young person struggling to escape poverty, only to be shot and killed by a North American – for HIDING from his gun!

As Avenatti says, "Basta!" (enough!)

START GETTING YOUR NEIGHBORS READY TO VOTE IN A LANDSLIDE THIS NOVEMBER!!!

TALK TO EVERYONE! Every retailer, every neighbor!

And I'd like to add this link to a story in the Washington Press about our sick, sick, sick President separating children from their parents (and losing track of 1,500 of the kids, some to human traffickers):

He was on the Mexico side of trump's wall, throwing rocks at a portion of it, when a Border Patrol Agent rained bullets into Mexico from the American side, and killed the boy. He got away with it.

The Border Patrol has become the killers and the rapists and the criminals, but I guess some of them are fine people . . .

This is some serious Nazi shit right here. THIS IS NOT WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE! WHEN THE FUCK DO YOU SHOOT SOMEONE IN THE FUCKING HEAD TRYING TO CROSS A BORDER? YOU FUCKING DETAIN THEM AND DENY THEIR ENTRY, YOU DO NOT FUCKING SHOO THEM IN THE FUCKING HEAD!

Holy fuck boys

HOLY FUCK.

I have never been so scared about losing our democracy in my life. Its not a fucking conspiracy, they are trying to kill our democracy! They want a fucking fascist regime here.. THEY WANT IT! The people who want to live in a dystopian nightmare, are getting their wet dream, alright. Those at the top are truly evil. They want death and destruction.They want to ethnically cleanse America. They arn't even trying to conceal the fact they don't want non-whites here anymore. They don't give a shit about what you think, because what YOU going to do about it? Those power hungry, greedy motherfucking megalomanics... they are so cocky about how much power they hold over us, that they are not even trying to hide this shit now.
