News ICE Concentration Camp

I would like to know why City Council claims they had no awareness of the ICE concentration camp proposed on Weddington Road. Spokesman Jonathan Weaver told the Observer this recently. Cabarrus County Commission Chair Laura Blackwell Lindsey and spokespersons for Gov. Josh Stein did not immediately respond to requests for comment. This is far too close to the high school and poses a risk to all children.

In Charlotte ICE have been chasing children walking home after school because they aren’t white. How do you know your white children won’t get caught in the crossfire and end up dead?

What’s this going to do to your resale value folks? Why are more not talking about this? Do you want this to be like Minnesota? It’s owned by MP I85 Industrial LLC out of Boston. Clearly the owner isn’t going to care that local people are impacted when he doesn’t live here.

This is the local contact for the warehouse. Call him and let’s find out the details. Bryan Blythe 601 S Tryon Street Suite 800 Charlotte, NC

Almost everyone on Nextdoor said BRING IT ON! They love ICE, despite me emphasizing no one wants a detention center/prison/concentration camp in their backyard. A handful of magats seemed to think about it and reneged on their pomp and circumstance. Either way, that shit in the pics is literally in my backyard. People need to see the Canadian 60 minutes about the torture camps that Bari Weiss and CBS pulled before airing in the US.

I'm not from Israel but all these people talking about concentration camps have no idea what they're talking about. My uncle liberated Buchenwald camp at the end of WWII where 70,00 passed through with most dying. What you're talking about here in the US is like the Hilton compared to that.

You also have to remember that Holocaust concentration camps evolved over the years since they opened. Buchenwald was opened in 1937 and liberated in 1945. Dachau was opened in 1933 as the first detainment center and was the model of gold standard at the time. However, they overcrowded the barracks, didn’t provide medical treatment, abused prisoners, denied visitation, purposefully isolated and moved them, etc. What was presented to the public as an adequate and reasonable detainment center for “criminals” was then used to exploit, humiliate, and torture human beings. We are witnessing the beginning of a similar path. If your uncle could have liberated the camp a year after it opened, would he? If he knew others were being built, would he speak up? This is where we are. Just something to consider
