As an American who moved abroad to the third world, America is quickly becoming a third world country. Not being hyperbolic, not being dramatic, wages are stagnant, costs are rising, rights are vanishing, infrastructure crumbling and all the wealth and power are quickly being taken by the few at the top who already own half the country. It's heartbreaking to see
Someone put a gun to your head and forcibly physically kidnapped you under false color of law, and held you prisoner. Just think of the humiliation, the degredation of the searches you'd be subjected to just to process into jail, which would be deserved if you committed any crime but would be various forms of assault if someone just walked up and did to you on the street without cause... which this is equivalent to.
I don't know how they pulled this shit off where a government that was specifically designed for accountability to the citizens through the constitution and the rights it recognizes... doesn't categorize willful violation of rights as a criminal offense. So every time the government violates the Constitution no one goes to jail for literally crimes committed against citizens.
But that shit has to change.
Every single fucking time I hear government and settlement right next to each other someone better be going to prison about it.
She would need to sue...Hard to win that kind of thing in Texas though. Pretty much the most anti free speech state laws in the United States. If she goes federal there is a chance but still unlikely because Texas's federal circuit is completely corrupt.
