and find a way, any fucking way, to get these fuckers to stand trial at the Hague for crimes against humanity. All of the fuckers, 6 members of the Supreme Court go first.

nothing in Florida ever gets done right the first time. That's just for practice. Rest assured there will be all sorts of problems with this concentration camp and people will die there.

threaten detainees as any place in Florida.

Now, ICE, a-hole guards, and environment are a big concern.

This hurricane went through West Palm Beach before killing 2,500 people forty miles inland. The concentration camp is about 55 miles south of Lake Okeechobee and 50 miles inland. Please watch the 90 second video.


In the summer of 1928, heavy rainfall raised Lake Okeechobee’s water level three feet above normal. And in the fall, a hurricane smashed the coast of Florida. The impact flooded Lake Okeechobee. This inland flood obliterated 21 miles of the 47-mile earthen and an estimated 2,500 people died in Southern Florida, most of them migrant farm workers.

8. 1928? Glad they didn't put it in Galveston, 8000 were killed in 1900. There is not good place to put a detention center.

And by our, I mean everyone whose life isn't all about money, revenge for spite, or having to feel superior to someone else. They do these things to be the big shot among their close circle of friends, to be the most daring, the most ruthless ruler.
A problem with that is the rush they feel is over almost as soon as it starts and they need another gotcha to feel good again, even if is is only for a moment. These are sick mf's.

10. They definitely enjoy that. But, the detention center's location is not a strong arguement against these wanton bigots.

The whole idea of rounding people up, detaining them, giving them little due process, and worse, is sick. That's what we need to focus on, not the location of their Nazi detention centers.

In the event of a hurricane, the ICE, CBP agents and prison guards will lock the doors, helicopter out and leave all the detainees to die.
