    This is the fourth time I’ve read a story about kids being arrested for being outside.

    America really is a country where you were not allowed to be outside unless you’re in a car.

      Everywhere is someone’s private property. Trespassers are under threat of being shot at all times all over the country.

      don’t worry… it will get better soon enough… in a bit they will start arresting parents for driving with kids in the car.

        They do, they just don’t arrest the ones that matter yet.

        Europeans, don’t worry, this is also coming to your neoliberal capitalist country. There are already many people who want their own version of ICE in their country (even while knowing such orgs already exist) - yes, I know them personally. Most people are stupid enough to hate minorities (because oh no, the Wikipedia about them includes words I don’t understand(they are the target audience for the simple Wikipedia)), which just empowers their glorious leaders even more.

        If you aren’t profitable enough a risk of resistance (minorities who can afford education are more often educated than the “Aryan race”), you are getting jailed (and optionally murdered). “But socialism has gulags.” - Yes, you do too and it’s worse.

          at least Russia is open about how vile and terrible their prisons are.

          America pretends to “rehabilitate” prisoners… filled with state sanctioned rape. and the whole fact that white criminals get let off easy (if jailed at all… because America loves to let white rapists go free especially if they keep their rape victims targeted to non-white victims only)… while people of color get jailed for lesser crimes… like walking down a street while black 10 miles from the scene of a crime (if the pigs don’t just shoot them for kicks).

        …but not your own street, and most cities are or were (re)designed to make walking as unpleasant and difficult as possible.

        But it’s OK because there’s national parks you can drive to. Sure, you might not be able to talk to the shops, do you can walk in these special, government approved areas.

        I get the feeling that the fact I walked to my local cafe for a Frappe would blow your mind.
