LEOs who interact with the dregs of society every day they are on the job tend to develop a sense of gallows humor. Who can blame them? It’s a natural human phenomenon. When you see tragedy all the time humor can become a defense mechanism. Allegedly, there’s a Facebook group that consists of Border Patrol agents who use that forum to do just that. But now yappy chihuahua AOC has caught wind of it and is muy enojado about it.
Via boingboing.net . . . whatever that is:
“I’m 10-15”: the secret CBP Facebook group full of racism, sexism, and jokes about migrant deaths
10-15 is Customs and Border Protection’s code for “aliens in custody”; “I’m 10-15” is a secret Facebook group for current and former CBP officers whose participants create and share a torrent of racist and sexist memes, as well as jokes about the deaths of migrants in their care.
A particular target for their hostility is Congresswoman Alexandia Ocasio-Cortez, who was the first Member of Congress to correctly identify the CBP border detention facilities as “concentration camps.” In response, members of I’m 10-15 have posted doctored images of AOC performing oral sex through a border-facility fence, and also an image depicting President Trump forcing the Congresswoman’s head towards his crotch.
The group is three years old and has 9,500 members.
This is the latest in a string of revelations about the broad state of US law enforcement personnel; thousand of whom were revealed as members of secret fascist organizations that advocate the violent overthrow of the US government. On a more individual level, a court-ordered review of the personal messages of a CBP official who killed a Guatemalan migrant by running him down in his F-150 truck revealed that the officer routinely referred to migrants as “guats,” “wild ass shitbags,” “beaners” and “subhuman.”
Yes, and when we have been at wars with various countries, and that’s what this border menace is, a war, soldiers used slang terms to refer to their enemies. Krauts, nips, gooks, ragheads, etc. Illegal aliens are our enemies and that kind of stuff just happens.
In addition to casual racism, the messages on I’m 10-15 are full of sexist slurs and rape jokes. The CBP has the lowest percentage of female agents or officers of any federal law enforcement agency.
The group is also home to many conspiracy theories, including one thread that pondered whether the notorious AP photo of the corpses of Salvadoran asylum seeker Oscar Alberto Martinez and his two year old daughter, Angie Valeria M, had been faked.
Another article mentions this. “One member referred to the father and daughter who drowned trying to cross the Rio Grande as “floaters” and suggested a viral image of them might have been staged by “liberals.”
“Have y’all ever seen floaters look this clean?” the agent asked.
That’s an interesting question. Have you? “Killing Killers“ in a drowning forensics article states, “Very shortly after the victim dies their body will start to sink. If retrieved soon thereafter, their arms and hands may display cadaveric spasm, a posture in death borne out of extreme mental anguish and which reveals the person’s final thoughts and movements as they frantically fought to stay alive.”
I don’t see any of that here.
Further, “If a victim is not promptly retrieved at death, then, without exception and no matter how deep or how swift the water may be, their corpse will continue to drift downward until it reaches the bottom. This is where it will remain in a somewhat fetal position until gases from putrefaction cause it to rise to the surface once more. A semi-fetal posture is the norm for all drown victims.” These two are laid straight out. I don’t see any signs of putrification.
So how did they end up floating and not decomposed?
I don’t know, but the “agent” asked a valid question. In the end it doesn’t matter because an idiot took his kid and tried to swim the Rio Grande. Bad parenting. These are the results.
Members of the Border Patrol Facebook group were not enthused about the tour, noting that Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from Queens, had compared Border Patrol facilities to Nazi concentration camps. Escobar is a freshman Democrat representing El Paso.
One member encouraged Border Patrol agents to hurl a “burrito at these bitches.” Another, apparently a patrol supervisor, wrote, “Fuck the hoes.” “There should be no photo ops for these scum buckets,” posted a third member.
Oh, what bad boys! People venting their frustrations against people who hate them and would see them all unemployed if they had their way just cannot be tolerated. It doesn’t seem very threatening but AOC anticipates death via flying burritos.
”This just broke: a secret Facebook group of 9,500 CBP officers discussed making a GoFundMe for officers to harm myself & Rep. Escobar during our visit to CBP facilities & mocked migrant deaths,” the New York Democrat wrote on her Twitter account. “This isn’t about ’a few bad eggs.’ This is a violent culture.”
And you’re a psychotic, dimwitted communist. No one threatened to harm you. It’s just their way of saying they fucking hate you . . . and with good reason, commie.
Perhaps the most disturbing posts target Ocasio-Cortez. One includes a photo illustration of her engaged in oral sex at an immigrant detention center. Text accompanying the image reads, “Lucky Illegal Immigrant Glory Hole Special Starring AOC.”
HAHAHAHA! That doesn’t disturb me a bit! Unless I was the recipient of her oral offerings. I find it fucking hilarious and wish I could find that picture. They hate her, and why not? She compares them to Nazis running death camps and would allow America to be overrun by illegal aliens. You put yourself in the limelight, slut. All negative comments about you that result from that are fair play.
Another is a photo illustration of a smiling President Donald Trump forcing Ocasio-Cortez’s head toward his crotch. The agent who posted the image commented: “That’s right bitches. The masses have spoken and today democracy won.”
I like that one too! Considering Facebook’s track record of banning anything and everything considered even slightly racist, should we believe this particular group really exists, let alone for three years? You make the call.
