(7,444 posts)I live here and this terrifies me. The concentration camp would be blocks from my home. I used to substitute at the schools and the kids and their parents are an integral part of our community.
Yesterday, I saw a pickup truck with huge militia-type flags driving around South Beach. They used to come out more often, but have been absent for awhile. It scares the crap out of me that so many of our younger professionals are getting laid off, while the ICE jobs would be the highest paid jobs along the coast, attracting the neonazis. We could be the next Malheur.

(25,402 posts)Invasion from within. Suppression of a population. Violation of a community. Immolation of the social contract.
And now it becomes apparent, with the cuts to NOAA, climate research, and marine biology, that soon ICE thugs will have the most lucrative high-paying jobs in the area. It's sick, and I'm furious.
