In reply to the discussion: See the crap they're pulling in Chicago, it's frightening; but no one will pay attention [View all]angrychair
(11,221 posts)57. What I would
Or would not do is irrelevant. But doing nothing while actual Nazis haul people away in the modern equivalent of a cattle car, no warrants, no proper police transport vehicles, just throwing them in the back of a U-Haul. Something that is not safe or legal and I would assume a violation of the lease terms from both U-Haul and Budget.
People are actively fighting back. Running them out of their neighborhoods. It's happening all the time.
What you seem to be saying is to just lay down and take it and let them do whatever they want and we are still, for now, a nation of laws and we still have rights and I'm going to do everything I can, within the bounds of the law, to resist.

There should be lawyers flooding the zone with lawsuits over this. These should be slam-dunk cases.

Better that ninety-nine thousand innocent people are incarcerated unjustly than one guilty one go free.
