They're Coming To Take You Away

ICE TO FRENCH LADY:

Show us your papers
Don’t tell us your story
Shut up!
Both hands up
What’s that flame?
A Molotov cocktail?
Get off your pedestal
And get in the car!
We don’t need no stinkin’ warrant
Get the pepper spray!

Well, even Trump admits that there are "excesses" and "bad policing" on the part of ICE --- more than Nixon ever admitted about his goon squads... As for me, I was a prison guard in a 'former life' -- really -- and the daily abuse these ICE guys take is beyond inhuman. Try it sometime. You'll whistle a different tune in a week... If there is fascism here, it's clearly coming from the left. ~ gw

Trump never admitted being wrong to anything. I admire the bravery and service of our law enforcement officers. I even admire ICE as it was formed in 2003. However, what is happening in our nation today makes me feel great shame. Thx for your visit!

What a totally destructive administration Robert! Let's hope that there are still heroes out there...who will eviscerate their most heinous wrongdoings!...ab

Thank you Anselmo. I've found that at times satire proves more biting than expressing pure anger, as it exposes the absurdity of those wielding power & cruelty. Hopefully the mocking is effective in destroying tyrants, as it makes them appear more inane than dangerous.

The boldness of your sentiments hits the spot, Robby. I am so pleased that you were inspired by my "Revolution" Love this! Keep ICE OUT! Keep ICE OUT!
