The DHS's "Constitution Free" Zones

[Napkiraly]

Regnum, we live in occupied territory.

I just hope Michigan is given to Canada at this point. I'd welcome the Canadian overlords.

On one condition.

You must declare love for Canadian maple syrup, which is the only true maple syrup, for life.

[Genivaria]

The whole country is a constitution free zone with the NSA spy programs, its just that in this particular program they actually have jackbooted fascists on the ground making it more blatant

Honey please stop making such absurd claims, you water it down when shit like this actually DOES happen.

[Wisconsin9]

:palm: I thought it'd be assigning certain parts of the country to be free speech zones and the rest wouldn't be. As expected, it is far worse. At least I do not live within that zone, because I happen to live in the Dominion of Canada.

Wisconsin, too. Hell, just give them the whole Great Lakes region.

Or at least Alaska.

If you're not taking me, you're not taking anybody. Besides, most of the people who live in Alaska are right-wingers.

[Libertarian California]

It must be weird living in San Antonio it must be like, am I the free zone or not? And I think I live just on the line. FML

You're only half-free

If Alaska can't be an American state, it should be independent.

O Canada! The True North strong and free!

I live just barely in the orange zone. If I went one or two counties west, I'd be in the clear.

[Napkiraly]

Awe man, I just realised this sucks for my mum and step dad. They're moving to a place within this zone.

[Regnum Dominae]

As much as it pains me to say it, evil communist Canada is better than this shit.

What is happening to my country!?!?!?!

At this rate, I'd give them 20 years before it goes the way of the USSR, or 25 before it goes the way of the DPRK.

Are you finally admitting that Best Korea is not a perfect poverty-free hunger-free land of unicorns and rainbows?

Whelp, better get packing. Canada and Australia are my top 2 destinations. I wish to stay in the Anglosphere.


Okay, obviously, I'm exaggerating. But this fucking sucks.

Land of the free my ass.

But Chile is nice this time of year. :c

If you're actually leaving, Canada is much more free than Australia; especially considering that Australia censors the internet.

Good, you're in.

Sorry about that declaration by the way. Standard protocol.

You're in as well. Welcome to Canada, eh comrade!

I'll go wherever I don't have to shell out 200 dollars for a video game.

Unfortunately. However, I wish to open the Canadian border to ANYONE AND EVERYONE.

Move to Canada. As long as you stay clear of Ottawa or Calgary-Southwest, you're in the clear.

Dude, I've abandoned that shtick months ago.

I got to agree. Now if only if we can get the Tories out...

From the HuffPo article:

After scanning their passports and looking at a computer screen in the booth, the agent says to the driver, as Matthews tells the story:

“Sir, turn off the vehicle, hand me the key, and step out of the car.”

He hears the snap of handcuffs going around his friend’s wrists. Disoriented, he turns around and sees uniformed men kneeling behind their car, firearms drawn.

“To my disbelief, situated behind us are agents, pointing their guns.”

The CBP officer asks Matthews and the remaining passengers to get out of the car and escorts them to a waiting room. Thirty minutes later, he, too, is handcuffed and in a cell. Forty-five minutes after that another homeland security agent brings him into a room with no chairs.

Finally, in a third room, the interrogation begins. Although they question Matthews about his religious beliefs and various Islamic issues, the two agents are “nice.” They ask him: Where’d you go? What kind of law do you practice? He tells them that a former law professor was presenting a paper at the annual conference, whose purpose is to revive “Islamic traditions of education, tolerance, and introspection.” They ask if he’s received military training abroad. This, he tells me, “stood out as one of their more bizarre questions.” When the CBP lets him and his friends go, he still thinks it was a mistake.

Oh dear, what are we coming to?

I agree that this is worrying, but "jackbooted fascists"? Really?

When does it became appropriate to call a fascist a fascist?

They erode our civil liberties a little at a time, so calling them fascists is considered hyperbolic because it is only a minor change from the fascism we were living under yesterday.

Imagine what it is going to be like in 50 years? Unmanned drones in the skies, cameras, checkpoints, internet spying plus whatever other evil shit the government comes up with between now and then.

If you are too scared of being considered "radical" for calling these fascists exactly what they are, then you probably deserve to live in a fascist hellhole. Its people like you who the fascists count on to curl up into the fetal position.

It must be weird living in San Antonio it must be like, am I the free zone or not? And I think I live just on the line. FML

Are you in the north or south of the San Antonio area?

Southern
OP thanks for providing me a new news station seems very trustworthy

[Regnum Dominae]

Are you in the north or south of the San Antonio area?

Southern

In that case the map makes me think you are in the CFZ.

[Bendira]

Honey

I really doubt you are using this affectionately, in which case you are an asshole.

please stop making such absurd claims, you water it down when shit like this actually DOES happen.

Like it is right now

No, I'm not actually leaving. I was born American, and I'll die American.

I'm just disgusted with the government.
