    The trigger men for the killing fields of Cambodia and the Tiananmen Square Massacre were illiterate peasants from rural areas…

    I kinda want to sign up for ICE just to record and leak everything that goes on. I don’t think I’d be able to stomach a second of being around these Nazis though.

      There must be at least some samaritans that joined with this plan in mind. I regret to think that there will never be a way of sorting them from the bastions of evil when they’re brought to courts though.

    They offered lots of money to join ICE to the worst people. Why is this surprising? They wanted thugs, they got thugs, not Harvard grads.

    high school grads who can “barely read or write”

    'Merica.

    Looks like the decades-long reputation of educational institutions is finally crumbling and Americans will at last be forced to suffer through the same “Back in my country, I was doctor. But since my degree is considered no good here, now we run a convenience store” cliche.

    The shooter is a 10+ year veteran of the agency. ICE has always been bad and filled with violent nationalists.

    Also, this is far more damning of our education system. It should be difficult to find and recruit that many illiterate people.

    Damn, if only they were qualified, surely things would be better. Sorry, seriously who gives a shit at this point, these people are all nazi scum, i don’t care if they are fat and cannot read, the issue is what they are doing and what they believe.

    To boot, sex harassment accusations emerged, with a source describing to the Daily Mail predatory behavior during training.

    I went to nazi boot camp and they guys there were all nazis

    shocker

    “This isn’t the department of baking cookies,” one source said. "This is the Department of Homeland Security, where you can be deported from the country. And we’re now employing people who are not equipped to tie their own shoelaces”

    And giving them firearms…

      THAT is an American tradition.

      For a country as obsessed with firearms as the USA the level of knowledge on how to use them safely is shockingly low.

        That’s what happens when gun ownership is a right. It doesn’t matter how fucking stupid, irresponsible, or psychopathic you are, you still get access to firearms and there’s no pressure to learn how to handle them safely.

        And saying everyone should have a class on it is called tyranny because who cares about a three year old grabbing a gun from between the couch cushions.
