garanceburke Wow.

garanceburke Lmao

garanceburke If the human right convention says force feeding hunger strikers is torture does that mean the alternative position supports their right to die of self induced starvation?

garanceburke TrumpConcentrationCamps are torturing prisoners and stealing children from their families. Are they also engaged in child trafficking? WhereAreTheChildren?

garanceburke No one should be force fed , ever .

garanceburke A dilemma. Let them starve or force feed and be criticized for it. ?

garanceburke The UN also has said that everyone has the right to travel both internationally and domestically, but, because the US government marks passports(IML) and sends green notices (Angel Watch) of registrants, they can’t. Even after parole or probation. Your tax dollars at work.

garanceburke This is torture

garanceburke Let's exam that, ICE is shoving a feeding tube down throat of someone restrained who awake, aware that your shoving a feeding tube down their throat. I know this crazy idea, but, what if ICE addressed the concerns of hunger strikers.

RealLifeinFla garanceburke is the ap unbiased and telling both sides of the issue or LEANING IN ONE VERY SPECIFIC DIRECTION?

garanceburke damned if ya do damned if ya dont. i say FEED THEM. then cant say they were being NEGLECTED.

garanceburke Let them go hungry if they don’t want to eat. It’s by choice. Save us the money.

garanceburke Well TRUMP are you happy now.

garanceburke Indian men? Why couldn't they stay in India, it's not a war zone?

garanceburke 🙄🙄🙄

garanceburke Oh well. Guess the die.

garanceburke If they don’t want to eat, oh well c-ya.

garanceburke U.S. is force feeding detainees because a federal judge ordered them to.

garanceburke Drop them off on other side of the border. They’ll eat

garanceburke Suicide or Homocide

garanceburke Then don’t force feed them.

garanceburke Like it’s our first time

garanceburke Fine. Don’t make anybody eat.

garanceburke Between a rock and a hard place.. Nancy!!! Chuck!!! Whoever else!!!

garanceburke If we let them die we’re also criminals. We just can’t win.

garanceburke Send the idiots back where they came from. We don't have to out yo with this baloney.

garanceburke Let them starve. Just costing us money.

garanceburke Keeping people alive is torture? That sounds like TheDemocrats stance on abortion. Letting a baby live would be torture.

garanceburke Terrible

garanceburke Put them on a damn plane and drop them off back where they came from.

garanceburke WTF is wrong with this Administration? Let me count the ways!

garanceburke This is horrific. They’re not criminals... please someone stop this.

garanceburke SEND THEM ALL BACK ACROSS THE BORDER LET THEM LIVE OR DIE IN MEXICO

garanceburke Stew-boarding is controversial.

garanceburke Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

garanceburke If we let them for. Then we get introuble for not feeding them. Maybe we should just let them die intill enough die, and feeding them seems like a good idea.

garanceburke What’s the solution? Sick of hearing just problems..

garanceburke Okay.....and then wtf are they gonna say if we sit there and let them die?

garanceburke How bizarre. Let them starve then.

garanceburke Where in the heck was AP and the UN when my mother was making me eat liver?

garanceburke All of this breaches so many agreements.

garanceburke We have a Crisis!!!

garanceburke Oh well we tried. Guess just have to send them home for humanitarian purposes

garanceburke So it's more humane to let someone starve to death? What the hell kind of human rights convention is that?

garanceburke Trump hurts people. That's what makes him happy. The GOP supports that. Health care, hurricanes, families at the border, tariffs, shutdown, taxes, and trade war just to mention a few.

garanceburke Where does the UN stand on letting them die?

garanceburke Then what do they want? If u let them starve it’s a human rights violation. If u force feed them it’s a human rights violation. What ?

garanceburke have they at least stopped anal feeding

garanceburke Force feeding a person who does not want to eat should always be considered a human rights violation

garanceburke The UN human rights office also thought having female guards overseeing detained male terrorists was 'torture' so...yeah.
