9. When the full horror of the immigrant lockups was exposed

it was quite obvious there was a strong cruelty factor, and it involved a lot of the BP/ICE staff. Enough people were willing to carry out cruel acts on the Hispanic women and children.
The destruction of the family units reeked of classic genocide intent.

And I started thinking of what other groups of people would get the same the treatment, as history has shown us,..
Ok...defenseless people, those who cannot fight back, and those who are shunned/ignored by most of our society.
It's always the outliers of society...the homeless, the mentally ill, ..gay people...the "other".
For starters...to test the water, so to speak.

The mayor of a small town here in Ala. has publicly called for the killing of gays. His forced apology a couple days later was not believable by either side. Step by step they get bolder, wait for the reaction, then build on the previous step, testing to see how far they can go.

As my sig line says...........
