How many fully pardoned Proud Boys, 3 Percenters, Active (Nazi) Club members, Oath Keepers, Boogaloo Bois, Aryan Nations splinters got that big ICE $50,000 sign up bonus and a $60,000 a year badge to hide behind a mask to commit crimes? CBP has a $60,000 sign up bonus to bust heads.
You, like me, may wonder why some noticeable masked ICE and CBP agents act like violent thugs? They used to do this for free, now Trump pays them for it?
When this ends, and it WILL end, there will be a reckoning, as is just. We cannot repeat the mistake Gen Grant made in his "generous surrender terms" to the Army of treason who took up violent arms against the US for the "right" to enslave and traffick families. His personal generosity seeded the ground for the next 160 year extension of human slavery hidden as Jim Crow and the disenfranchisement of freed Americans. That wasn't justice.
Justice requires due process, a court, and the innocent to be freed and the guilty to pay for their crimes. Forgiveness is what you do in church or at home. Harm requires justice for that harm. No justice...
And, surely if AI can make stupid cat videos, the technology exists to unmask these thugs wearing thin nylon form fitting face coverings. Always hit record.
History, gravity, and time are on our side. We need to be ready to meet the moment when it comes.
