    Right, and they are tried in an unfair judicial system and sent to American prison. This is bad, but not sending people to El Salvador without trial to die levels of bad. These things aren’t equal and to imply it is is disingenuous

      I’m gonna stop you right there.

      You think they had trials for the minorities they grabbed off the streets? Maybe in New England or California or something, but in Texas if you’re a Black man in 1952 and a cop decides he doesn’t like you, you are a dead man walking.

      I think - and I mean no offense - you might be looking at things from a sheltered point of view. Many of the things you’re seeing now seem crazy because a) they stopped happening as much in the 90s and early 2000s, and b) it’s much more visible now it’s happening again.
