Cruelty is the Point

We subscribe to our local PBS (OPB) and were alerted to this story, about an ICE arrest right in our neighborhood. Be forewarned, the video footage is disturbing:

If you watch carefully, this was no accident, in fact the SUV rolls over the victim’s legs nonchalantly, and the article states that the agents did not get him medical care. I barely have words to describe the rage I feel, have felt, continue to feel over this America under Trump and his thugs. Even more sickening, I saw the thread of comments for OPB on Ryan’s facebook page where really sick people were praising the actions of the Nazi ICE (I left Facebook over a year ago and haven’t looked back, until now). Very soon the year will be over and as I reflect on it now, so much horror unfolded, so much cruelty, I can’t in good conscience ring in a new year as a happy one. More soon…

Note: This same story is reported in The Guardian, with more details about another ICE victim whom the they agents lured by lying, and when he came out they released an attack dog on him:

If this stuff isn’t pure evil, I don’t know what is and if you’re okay with it and voted for Trump, you are a lost cause.
