Kiddie jails: "Stop in the name of love..."
In the entire history of the whole wide world, has any other country (besides the good old USA)
ever before had the cruel and cold heartlessness to drag hundreds of
sweet little human babies off to jail? What would Diana Ross have to
say about this? "Think it ov-v-er..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPBkiBbO4_4
Has America just reached a new world-record low? But -- oh -- no -- wait.
Not exactly. The Nazis already did that. And didn't some slavers on the Ivory Coast
do it too?
Does America really want to be in the same class as, say, Josef Stalin
or Pol Pot or that Saudi Arabia guy who is always murdering Yemeni
children for fun and profit? Or those evil Zionists who threw young Ahed
Tamimi in jail? Apparently so. https://www.globalresearch.ca/americas-assault-against-yemens-children-the-war-you-havent-heard-about/5645513
"Baby baby I'm aware of where you go..." each time a child is jailed. Huddled on cold concrete floors without love or their parents. America goes to Hell in a hand-basket, that's where. "Think it ov-v-er..."

So yesterday I went out to the West County Detention Center (the # 71
bus will deposit you right at its doorstep) to see what was up.
Apparently plans are afoot to house immigrants inside of that structure
or else in tents next to it. Didn't see any immigrant babies. Didn't
see any tents. Didn't see much of anything -- except for a whole bunch
of gigantic business warehouses located right down the street.
Warehousing people right next to warehousing things? How appropriate is
that?
But then I discovered that the detention facility abuts right up
against the Pinole Regional Park -- so I hiked around that for a while
and took photos of what I could see of the detention center from the
rear. Not much. http://richmondconfidential.org/2012/11/30/inside-the-west-county-jail/
I also learned that this whole area used to belong to the Ohlone
Indians. How ironic is that! Now the Ohlone Native Americans are long
gone -- but they are about to be replaced with even more Native
Americans. Lest we forget, most immigrants from Mexico and Honduras are
Native Americans too. Shouldn't they have first dibs to this land
instead of having to sneak into it like thieves in the night? Shouldn't
the Ohlone and the Cheyenne and the Sioux also be protesting the cruel
and unusual incarceration and torture of their brothers' children? And,
BTW, shouldn't the rest of us be protesting this too? We are all our
brothers' keepers. "Send not for whom the bell tolls..."
And to quote Diana Ross again here, "Come see about me -- see about
your baby." And The Supremes are also right on message when they sing
about love. Love is so much more better than hate. Hell, love is
better than anything.
But forget about love. This whole miserable ugly sewer-like stain and
blot on the history of America is basically ALL ABOUT MONEY. If any of
those cruelly-incarcerated immigrant families had been born with silver
spoons in their mouths, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
They would have been flown to Washington in private jets and put up in
the best hotels. They would have been feted by Congress and served
state dinners at the White House using the good china -- no matter what
they have done. Members of M-13? Not a problem.
For example, both Netanyahu the Butcher of Gaza and that evil Saudi
prince who murders babies in Yemen are treated like royalty in
Washington. Why aren't these hard-working decent immigrant families
coming to America given the same treatment instead of having their
children cruelly ripped away? Ha. In America today, the rich always
get richer -- and always at the expense of you and me. Always. It's
the law. Just ask the Supreme Court.
PS:
If you too want to go "see about your baby" and caravan to one of the
many detention centers in the United States that taxpayers are paying
for instead of sending their kids to Harvard, there is information on
how to do it at http://caravans4ninos.com.
PPS: And the slogan on my favorite red T-shirt is still as true today as it was the first time I washed it, a decade ago. "Imagine a world where EVERY child is wanted, nurtured, protected and loved: World Peace in one generation!"
