btw another crime by ICE that has not been widely covered is they are FORCE FEEDING PRISONERS FOR MONTHS

that is recognized as torture and illegal and should never be happening by our government

You can't do this here, and we ban accounts that do. Please don't do it again, no matter how wrong someone else is or you feel they are.

Force feeding is not "life-sustaining, ordinary health care". Its torture.


My dictionary says torture implies pain or suffering, so based on that... I don't think it's fair to say that keeping people from dying by malnutrition is somehow akin to torture. Interfering with their personal freedom, yes, but not the same as torture. Some also argue hunger strikes are a psychiatric issue... and we force people to go to mental hospitals sometimes, don't we? How is that any better?


oh we're back to "water boarding farmers is fine" ala Bush/Cheney years

people are been kept prisoner in cold dark concentration camps for months or some a year now

they are denied legal representation and outside contact

they are being deported to countries they are not from or have not been since children

they are being deported to countries that have US travel warnings for extreme crime and danger

multiple physicians groups are extremely against force feeding, you think doctors are pro-suicide or rather know it's very wrong and a crime?

worst countries in the world do this kind of stuff which should be a huge hint it's wildly wrong and criminal behavior by governments

but okay, you keep living that privileged life and keep looking down on anyone without your luck to be born in better circumstance


The anti suicide cult exists inside society out of fear, not out of concern for the individual in question. It is highly immoral.
