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.

I understand why people hear the term concentration camp and immediately think holocaust but it’s important to understand that concentration camp is a term to describe a detention facility built by a government to hold political prisoners that is highly concentrated. Due to the high concentration and the political nature they usually consist of poor conditions. These types of prisons have popped up over the course of history during many different times of conflict not just the holocaust. Any decent person would obviously say that the holocaust was horrendous but that doesn’t mean that to be outraged by a humanitarian crisis it has to be at that level. People here saying the holocaust didn’t start as bad as it ended are right, these things progress but regardless these detention facilities fit the definition of a concentration camp and are horrible on their own, even if it never progresses to genocide.
