The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Are the detainee's being read their rights before they are handcuffed ? I would be fighting them
like my life depended on it, if they didn't ID themselves and read me my rights. Now, that would probably get me killed, or at the least get a severe beatdown from these thugs, but it's a choice that you'd have to make. I'd also be yelling and screaming for any bystanders to call 911, before they knocked my teeth out to shut me up.

This is a big deal. Any nut job can get himself a jacket that has ICE printed on the back of it
( or any other Agency name ), can buy handcuffs and a handgun, and start kidnapping people.

Americans better wake the eFF up and rethink their support for this. Right now the targets
are mostly brown people. I think of that as the 1st wave. When Miller is convinced he's
"purified" the Country from the "brown horde", it's not a stretch to think that the next targets
in line will be any white people who disagree with Trump, or white people who refuse to
bow down to evangelical "Christian" beliefs, or fill in the blank with any of the irrational
bullshit that maga believes.
