I'm real curious what terrorist attack they think he committed.
It's only a stretch if truth and facts as term have meaning, which they don't anymore. They could've shown him with a Coca-cola can and superimposed "MS13" over 'Coke' and the cult would've lapped it up. 'Well I I be bigly damned, I had no idea those MS13 folks used Coca-Cola cans as a symbol, thank goodness we have King Dump!'
Almost everything coming out of this administration is a outright lie, from tariffs bringing in billions, to Ukraine starting the war, to Leavitt calling Garcia a terrorist. This isn't the Trump administration, it's the Gaslight administration, and before some bothsiders chime in . . . their just ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ wrong.
The Bowling Green Massacre.
I think his gang affiliation or lack thereof is irrelevant to the issue of due process which is what is at stake here, but I personally don't find it much of a stretch particularly when you take it in conjunction with other evidence, such as as the tattoos signifiying "hear no evil, see no evil.." also mentioned in the police report, the devil's horn tattoo (supposedly only high level gang members get one) on his leg, the fact that a rival gang wants him dead, the unnamed informant's testimony, the verified fact that his wife covered up his tattoos in her go fund me page, association with other gang members etc. Some evidence, but it aint up to me to decide, it's up to a judge or court to decide, and that is the problem, he wasn't given that opportunity to defend himself.
There seem to be some facts, evidence, and testimony there that haven't been tested in court.
The important point about human rights is that they apply to everyone, but it's only the unpopular who actually need them.
I don't want to fully litigate the issue here cause I don't really care, as I said his affiliation is irrelevant to me. I just think portraying his finger tattoos as analogous to a 'coke can' or similar is silly, as a skeptic I am extremely aware that you can associate symbols with a lot of things, but the code referenced (Marijuana, Sonrisa, I=1, Craneo=3d letter C, along with the three holes, also an MS-13 symbol) is at least plausible to me, it's not an absurd idea. I am not going to source my other references cause they are splattered all over the internet, as the last comment points out, google is your friend (BBC, CBS, Newsweek, etc etc) To me--and again, this is only my take on it--it makes more plausible, reasonable sense that Barrio 18, the gang that threatened to kill him in El Salvador, (and this fact is not in contention) would want him dead because he is a member of a rival gang (MS-13) and not because (as his family claims) the gang was extorting money from their business and was threatening to kill Garcia if they did not pay up. What would prevent the gang from threatening some other family member?? Why just Abrego Garcia? That doesn't add up, IMO. But again--It's not up to me to determine the facts.
His affiliation is irrelevant to you, but you still want to bring it up.
Oh good grief, I only bring it up in response to various people saying it is absolutely ridiculous to assert that he is a gang member. It isn't, there is a fair amount of circumstantial evidence, and the standard of proof is not "beyond a reasonable doubt" here. It becomes relevant at a hearing (or whatever process) that determines whether the evidence is sufficient to deport him. We haven't gotten there yet--which is why his gang affiliation is irrelevant to me until we get to that point! So let's get there, shall we? Oh wait, the administration doesn't care about due process...
Exactly, it becomes relevant when due process is followed.
Will check it out. I've been looking for YouTube personalities to keep me updated on the Dump situation. I followed Belle of the Ranch (formerly Beau of the Fifth Column), but it's just not the same. I drop by from time to time to get an update on certain topics, and she's insightful and nuanced like Beau, but yeah, it still just isn't the same. Also, I hate to say this but I just found the community a bit tiresome in the long run, endlessly posting the same comments on every video and stubbornly insisting on taking every joke, pun, and piece of wordplay, irony, or sarcasm totally seriously. I suppose I might just being arrogant thinking that way, but I guess humor is just such a big part of me and my personality how I express myself that I just find it incredibly grating to have to restrain myself from using it (and it really can happen with any joke, like, Belle presented herself as a captain once and I said 'captain? I didn't know she was a pirate!' because Beau had a bit of a pirate theme on and off --to which someone replied, 'well, you'll have to ask her if she's a pirate, I thought she was in the air force but I could be wrong ofc').
No, it's definitely absurd. It's actually worse than "AC / DC = Anti-Christ / Devil's Child" or "KISS = Knights In Satan's Service." At least those don't have to distort symbols into letters.
