    “Accused of being gang members” lmao let’s be clear here 90% of these dudes literally have gang tattoos 🙈

    Also you can cover tattoos at any time, it’s not that hard.

    I’ve been in the tattoo scene since the 90s and have a full body of tattoos myself and everybody knows that a gang tattoo is a point if no return and basically the dumbest thing you can do. If you went there then I have zero sympathy for you.

      Even if they are gang members they still should have due process and a trial. This is one of the foundations of our legal system. Where does that leave us if we just leave it to law enforcement to throw anyone in prison without any oversight? That’s straight up authoritarianism you’re arguing for.

      Can you point out the criminal statue against certain tattoos? After that would you mind showing me where they were convicted for those tattoos. Then I’d appreciate a link to the federal sentencing guidelines on tattoo-related offenses that suggest forced labor camps overseas.

      But they’re innocent until there’s proof of guilt. Sending people to forced labour encampments because of their tattoos is just a different nazi move.

      Even if 99% of them are actually gang member, then there is still a bunch of innocent people locked up. Using the word ‘accused’ or ‘suspected’ isn’t meant to cause doubt, it’s to make clear they haven’t been convicted. I really wouldn’t want to be falsely accused and treated as these men are, and it’s really awful knowing some of them could be there without having done anything wrong.

      This administration really shows how little of a fuck the party that won’t stop jerking themselves off about the constitution actually give about what it says.

      Honestly, when I was a kid, one of my classmates dressed up like that and I’m pretty sure he would tag around the school. The kid was a trouble maker. But that doesn’t mean much when I realized that he was homeless and his mom would still clean him up and send him to school.
