Last month, the federal government bought a warehouse next to her cheerleading gym in Surprise, Ariz., which the administration plans to convert into a detention center for up to 1,500 immigrants.

Ms. Bradley, the co-owner of Woodlands Elite Cheer, said she worried that a detainee could escape, or that protests could break out. The children who train at her gym are as young as 3 and could see “people in shackles” next door, she said.

So it's more NIMBY and not so much concentration camps are bad in general.

Think of the children! No, not the incarcerated 2 month old criminal. The poor cheer squad who has to witness dehumanizing abuse in our concentration camp next door. Can we put up some walls or something?!

She's concerned kids will see the reality she supports.

Lets see, I DO want to know non-white people are suffering, but I don’t want my kids to see it. Why is this so hard??

“That’s a scary thing for a little kid to process,” Ms. Bradley said.

Yeah, it's a little scary for the children being detained too.

Stacy Bradley voted for President Trump because of his border policies, and she likes that he has restored “law and order.” But she is unsettled by one aspect of his immigration agenda.

Stacy Bradley’s a complete fucking moron.

And to add, what fucking law and order? He's literally covering for pedophiles (including himself) making sure they don't face the law, and hasn't faced punishment for his criminal charges.

Armed larpers are patrolling the streets kidnapping people, sending them to other countries without trial.

A government propagandist was shot at a college. (rest in piss)

Big protests are happening in all major cities.

What order has been created? If anything the USA is in much more chaos (not enough if you ask me, but that's a different talk).

And her concern is that children might see detainees in shackles and that’s “hard to process”. Get a life lady.

Cunt.

That's a good one.

They are concentration camps. Warehouses are not for people.

IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 175d

they don't consider brown people "people",

vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 175d

Depends on what you consider people. I'd argue that a morgue is a corpse warehouse. But regardless yeah no unless you are dealing with a Katrina level shit storm and need to house as many people as possible because the environment itself is trying to kill everyone nobody should be kept in a warehouse like this. Fuck even by shitty American standards the Japanese internment camps at least had barracks and eventually proper housing.

I don’t really care what Trump voters think. I’m well past that. They are fundamentally morally-corrupt individuals.

In this case, the enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. Nothing more.

Always has been. Sometimes my enemy's enemy and I want the same thing for a little while.

Holy shit, a Schlock Mercenary reference in the wild. I think I've only seen once before, also on Lemmy. Probably you, I'd wager.

I miss that comic, it was a good one.

Might have been. But there are dozens of us.

MAGA NIMBY. Ok with concentration camps, they just don't want those people in her neighborhood.

We blocked it in KC and the developer abandoned the sale! Huge victory. Someone else could still try to make it happen here, but they have some big hurdles.

Fuck ICE (and Mark Alford who tried to get the ICE prison here)
