ongoing racist bullshit in arizona thread

the second amendment just becomes more and more repugnant to me tbh

OMFG

something like this was kind of inevitable, unfortunately

otm, but that doesn't make it any easer to swallow this

Do Stand Your Ground laws apply to protecting our god-determined borders against Al Qaeda-aiding alien invader drug kingpin insurgents? I hope so!

there are certain times i want to just break off a chunk of this country and let all these batshit fucking crazy people who want to literally destroy everyone who isn't just like them have it. fuck.

Next thing you know they'll sneak in and have anchor babies in the US, which will give their children the right to bear arms, and then where will be? Civil fuckin' War, that's where!

[/character off]

god, sometimes it feels like this whole country's just going to hell in a rocket

Hey, North Korea's trying, too! Give 'em some time.

both rockets made in China iirc

was this posted yet?

a bill which prohibits schools from offering ethnic studies courses

how can this possibly be legal

ughhhhhhhhhh

Arizona is the fucking worst, which is a shame because it's really a beautiful state

how long has arizona been like this? since goldwater? before? later?

There was a pretty good Daily Show segment on the ethnics studies course thing a few weeks ago.

fuck this worthless nazi state.

fuck you how's life

oh my god :(

my dad just said "i wonder why everyone is mad at joseph arpaio all of a sudden. that's strange."

sigh

"well this is classic. he's one of the best sheriff's there ever was"

i didn't realize that his county included the sixth-largest city in the united states/a greater population than that of 23 states

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has sued Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona, asking a federal court to prevent the brazen and outspoken lawman from racially profiling Latinos, abusing them in his jails and retaliating against his critics.

"The police are supposed to protect and support our community, not divide them," said Assistant Atty. Gen. Thomas E. Perez, head of the Justice Department's civil rights division. "This is an abuse of power case involving a sheriff and a sheriff's office that has ignored the Constitution."

The lawsuit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Phoenix, alleges that Arpaio's Maricopa County department engages in a "pattern of unconstitutional conduct" against Latinos, especially immigrants.

i wonder why everyone is mad at joseph arpaio all of a sudden. that's strange.

haha 'joseph arpaio.'

that reminds me of someone pointing out during the clinton scandal how you could tell what side someone was on when they referred to 'judge starr.'

1. Forcing Women To Sleep In Their Own Menstrual Blood: In Arpaio’s jails, “female Latino LEP prisoners have been denied basic sanitary items. In some instances, female Latino LEP prisoners have been forced to remain with sheets or pants soiled from menstruation because of MCSO’s failure to ensure that detention officers provide language assistance in such circumstances.”

2. Assaulting Pregnant Women: “[A]n MCSO officer stopped a Latina woman – a citizen of the United States and five months pregnant at the time – as she pulled into her driveway. After she exited her car, the officer then insisted that she sit on the hood of the car. When she refused, the officer grabbed her arms, pulled them behind her back, and slammed her, stomach first, into the vehicle three times. He then dragged her to the patrol car and shoved her into the backseat. He left her in the patrol car for approximately 30 minutes without air conditioning. The MCSO officer ultimately issued a citation for failure to provide identification.”

i don't normally wish death on people but i hope someone fucking impales this worthless hateful excuse for a human with a rusty pickaxe

I have a friend who was on one of Arpaio's chain gangs back in the 90s. Yes, he's Hispanic.

personally i think he's one of the best sheriffs this country has ever had

he's got stiff competition from a bunch of other racist yahoos tho

thank you for focusing your reactionary hyperbole on a single lightning rod of a guy instead of an entire state made up of all kinds of people : )

you're very welcome XD

rev's (hyperbolically phrased) ire against this "single lightning rod of a guy" seems entirely warranted to me

I wouldn't really describe that reaction as hyperbolic, after Breitbart died I was thinking of the very few people i would really like to see dead, and Arpaio definitely makes the list.

You guys remember the whole 'sloth' sequence in Se7en, right? So it makes sense if I say something like, "I want Joe Arpaio to get 'sloth'-ed", yeah? I just wanna make sure y'all would understand the context if I were to ever use that particular verb form in a sentence, is all.

I wouldn't really describe that reaction as hyperbolic

on principle, i think it's best to describe all death threats, no matter how vague, as "hyperbolic"

it was hyperbolic tbrr

There was a point not too long ago that it was almost all, aww, Sheriff Joe, how cute! Maybe around the 60 Minutes profile? Clearly he was horrific back then, but perhaps we were all in collective denial when they trotted out the prisoners in pink jumpsuits, eating bologna on white bread? I want to say it was before his xenophobia and anti-immigrant rhetoric ratcheted up.
