In the LAND of the "FREE," huh?
Here is why:
"Record-High Ratio of Americans in Prison"
"More than one in 100 adult Americans is in jail or prison, an all-time high that is costing state governments nearly $50 billion a year, in addition to more than $5 billion spent by the federal government, according to a report released today.
With more than 2.3 million people behind bars at the start of 2008, the United States leads the world in both the number and the percentage of residents it incarcerates, leaving even far more populous China a distant second, noted the report by the nonpartisan Pew Center on the States...."
"Cop leaves dashboard camera on while planting drugs on suspect and attacking him with dog"
".... A Cookeville officer is seen allegedly placing drugs on the man, Carlos Ferrell, before arresting him.... During the arrest, Ferrell was also bitten by a police K9."
And you thought that only happened at Abu Ghraib!
In fact, you need do nothing at all to be rounded up, readers:
"New Orleans mayor wants squatters moved to barrack"
".... Mayor C. Ray Nagin has another stop in mind for Collins and about 200 other people who have been squatting there for months: a military-style barrack....
Gee, that sounds remarkably like a FEMA Concentration Camp!
The city's public advocacy unit, unarmed officers with the New Orleans Police Department Homeless Assistance Collaborative, city housing department workers, and mission staff will usher people into the barrack as early as today, Quiett said. Those who do not go elsewhere will face citations, and arrests could take place if drugs are found, city officials said....
The cops didn't plant them, did they?
Countless tourists also have passed the spectacle of curbside panhandlers, frayed camping tents, scattered sleeping bags, discarded home furnishings that stretches for about five city blocks not a half-mile from the French Quarter."
Yup, the TWO AmeriKa's!!!
Hey, that's the ticket.
AmeriKa's homeless can become TOURIST ATTRACTIONS!!
With all the foreclosures, tourists will be able to go anywhere in AmeriKa and see them!
