That was feeding humans a different color, though. That matters to MAGA

I'm out of the loop on this... Fucking WHAT!
America build a concentration camp in the Everglades in Florida and called it Alligator Alcatraz.
It's only made of tents and fences, but if anyone escapes, when the next inevitable hurricane hits Florida and rips the place up, they will probably be eaten by alligators.
Honestly alligators rarely attack full grown adults. If you've ever swam in freshwater in the South you've swam with gators. I'm not saying I would take the risk, but the odds of being able to get out of there are not terrible.
But the point wasn't about it being effective. The point was the implication and the cruelty
Thank you. Alligators get a bad rap. I've only once been close enough to one to get a good look. Only other times I saw them I felt like Darth Vader watching the booty-end of the Falcon hauling ass, again.
Dude the Everglades is a different beast...so glad I've left Florida
They are by far and large harmless to adults but the Everglades has lots of shit that can get you
Nah, it's being shut down luckily. Though it did flood immediately, and they kept the victims in multi-person cages, so even if lazy ass alligators wanted to go after human sized prey, it was all marketing. And it was very weird too... They sold merch, and people would protest in support of it at the entrance... Deeply disturbing stuff
So a few people died from bad conditions and preventable medical emergencies, it's being shut down and dismantled for environmental reasons, but at least hundreds of millions of hurricane relief funds were spent on this nightmare
Source on it being shut down? It's not being finished and no new people are going there, but were there not people there who are still there? And, they're making 2 more now.
Last I checked, the shutdown was put on hold by a conservative judge.

It was briefly ordered to shut down after a lawsuit from a local Native American group but, you know, the law doesn't matter if you pack the courts.
Well... Fuck.
Everytime someone brings up empathy with hostility or antagonism, I'm struck at the irony. It seems to me like someone's posturing superior character & conscience by simply saying it.
I doubt anyone who preaches it isn't as selective & partial. Empathy isn't supposed to be convenient: following it as a guide means attempting to empathize with the most difficult cases.
I frankly think it pointless when the other side is shit, and there are better arguments to throw at them.
Forget the alligators:
Morning of the Charlie Kirk killing.
