Build More Prisons, Then Fill Them Up

There’s something fascinating about the freedoms we have in this country. Sure, you might get pulled over for speeding, and you could have a cheeky remark for the cop, but really, the worst that might happen is just a ticket. It’s oddly reassuring.

Now, imagine trying that in a different context—say, with the Taliban. The thought’s kind of ludicrous, but it highlights a point. Picture this: if you bumped into Trump on the street and said something disrespectful, like “Hey, Orangeman,” not much would happen to you. It’s wild to think you can annoy even the most powerful figures without any real consequence.

But, speaking of boundaries, there are certainly lines you shouldn’t cross when it comes to federal employees. For instance, Adam Kinzinger, in what seems like a misguided move, has recently used the death of Renee Good to push an agenda that misunderstands these boundaries. His message? That ICE doesn’t really hold the same legal weight as police officers—essentially saying their ability to act is limited.

“It’s important to point out that ICE does not have the same powers as police officers. They only engage in specific duties,” he said. So, no, they can’t enforce things like traffic violations.

It’s almost as if Kinzinger’s encouraging others to take the same reckless path as Goode. He seems to be aiming for more civilian casualties, perhaps for political gain. It’s a pretty bleak thought, honestly.

The chunk of advice Kinzinger gives is just misguided. Before things took a darker turn, Goode had technically violated U.S. law by obstructing a federal officer, which can lead to significant penalties. Sure, many people think minor offenses just result in a slap on the wrist, but even nonviolent acts can land you some heavy time. If there’s any force involved? Well, that ramps up the consequences considerably.

So, when you consider the videos circulating after Goode’s incident, many show folks flouting these legal boundaries and often getting away with it because police have historically given them warnings. But things are shifting now.

For instance, a recent event showed a federal employee confronting someone at a gas station—a scene caught on camera. I’m curious what the outcome was, but it seems we might see more such actions in the future. Arresting individuals for infractions could become a norm, which, while drastic, might be necessary.

The law about conspiracy, 18 U.S.C. 371, is interesting as well, carrying stiff penalties for those trying to navigate around federal authority. There’s a question many ask: how do certain individuals manage to have so many resources while being unemployed? It’s perplexing.

One recent tweet highlighted that some activists are training to confront law enforcement directly, even calling their actions “micro-intifadas.”

So, that raises the question—how does this handbook get created and circulated? Quite a few organizations, funded by known figures like George Soros, are involved in producing materials aimed at counteracting federal efforts. This sort of teamwork might even feel a bit conspiratorial.

For those who might be listening in the political sphere, let me say: we need more arrests. There are so many of these incidents happening in broad daylight, and most people find this behavior off-putting. They tend to wonder what these individuals achieve by harassing law enforcement.

The public’s frustration is palpable. It would be beneficial to proactively address these issues—capture those acting disruptively and showcase the events on social media. The call here? Build more prisons, fill them up, and perhaps even contemplate what comes next for those incarcerated. Let’s not end there; we should also investigate and address the financial networks behind these movements.

It’s time to shift from defense to offense. Engaging the public’s sentiments could lead to a movement, one they would likely support. So, let’s make it happen.
