What was it Alex Jones said about Jade Helm? I think it was HELM stood for Homeland Elimination of Local Militants or something like that?

As hot as texas has been, there were probably daily ozone warnings for the very young and very old who have asthma or chronic respiratory diseases.

(10,151 posts)or the first that the regime will admit to. I wouldn't be surprised if there have been others previously.
And then there are all the children who are traumatized, or have come down with more minor infections, or are being developmentally stunted, or subject to all the other horrors. And where are the Right to Lifers? Not a peep out of them when it comes to post-fetal beings.

(9,459 posts)They don't care because that child was not in the womb. They care more about a mass of cells or even just a possible mass of cells than they do about the unborn. And it's not really so much that they care about the unborn as it is that they have no respect for a woman's rights over her own body.

The asshats rushed in to commit this atrocity before they could be stopped and now innocent people legally trying to apply for asylum are living and dying in worse conditions then they could have imagined due to the cruelty of this regime...er...administration.
No-one to comfort these children

2. Mistreatment/torture while in confinement.
3. Rushed release upon it becoming evident death was imminent so that the victim's actual passing occurs elsewhere.
This child's passing was worse, actually, since she died alone, without her family, unlike Kim's victim who was surrounded by his family when he passed.

(180 posts)The cynic in me believes someone made a calculated decision that it would be worse from a public relations standpoint if the child died while still in custody. Her condition was being "monitored" from afar, and likely no one offered any assistance. Then they rushed her out the door, so she would technically not be in their care when her medical issues turned worse.
Negligent homicide....to be added to the list of offences committed by these cretins.

I can't even put into words how disgusted I am with the people who allowed this.

(23,147 posts)He had to move up to actually murdering them!! His actions, his lack of care, his refusal to even have someone else handle this in a normal way, lead to the death of this child. They only want to maximize the profits they steal from taxpayers and don't actually want to provide care for these children, just cages, cold, insufficient space, assault and now due to lack of medical care and plain hate, an innocent child is dead. MURDERER.
