On Friday night on U Street, an area full of bars and restaurants, a large group of FBI and other federal agents took part in arresting a single man for publicly smoking marijuana, according to witnesses. (Possession of marijuana is legal in the District, though public consumption is not.)
“There’s so much other shit happening in this city, and you guys are arresting him for smoking weed?” an onlooker asks feds, who appear embarrassed, in a video posted by independent journalist Hannah Gais. “For weed!”
Criminalizing the helpless is a big step towards dehumanizing them. Once the state has done that, they can get away with treating them anyway they please.
Gotta find a way to keep thos for profit prisons full. Then the prisons “lease” their prisoners to farms, factories, etc since migrant workers are being deported.
Slavers…I mean for profit prisons will make money, businesses get free labor, and prisoners get “work experience”.
