LINK Hung jury refuses to convict humanitarian volunteer who helped migrants
In Trumplandia it’s illegal to help dying migrants
“Hallelujah! The trial of Scott Warren, the volunteer with the humanitarian group No More Deaths who faced up to 20 years in prison for helping migrants survive their desert crossing, has ended in a hung jury.
The government’s argument against Warren:
“He gave them food, he gave them water, he gave them a place to stay...He did a bad thing.” -- Anna Wright, @USAO_AZ in her closing argument that #ScottWarren should be convicted.“

It’s unbelievable that we have laws outlawing providing basic sustenance to desperate people. And, of course, there are a lot of people who believe those laws are justified.
And Cliven Bundy and his buddys are still planning shit.
Now we have a guy who gives water and food to immigrants.
STAY OFF THE STREETS, HE MAY GIVE YOU FOOD!!!

What a sad statement about our country when saving a person's life is a jailable offense...we have seen child molesters and traitors go scott free...and a man providing water and food possibly going to jail...
This is really fucked up...
