There are 18K+ comments on this article. On all the daily articles that come out....there are usually a few thousand on the popular story of the day. 18K is extremely high. 3 - 4 times the normal amount.
And most of them say the same thing, complain that "....Indian upper class and lower classes are treated differently...She broke the law...she needs to be treated equally in a prison...In america we are equals, you break the law, you face the consequences."
That's the summary of thousands of those comments, besides the "Well over there they rape tourists and stuff, so what's a big deal over a strip search" or some shit.
(First of all, just to address the "America is equal" B.S. Indians say it outright that there is a class difference, it's existed for thousands of years, and hasn't been eliminated in 50-60 short years of democracy. What is annoying are all these stupid americans who keep cheering about equality! We treat people badly equally!! Yay! WTF?? Secondly..WE DON'T. There is a JUST US system. THe political and elite play by one set of rules, as well as the enforcer class. Politicians can lie, cheat, and steal without consequence. Enforcers can murder, assault, rape, and torture and nothing happens to them. This EQUALITY stuff they are BLINDLY cheering about, is PURE BULL SHIT).
There are a couple things that I discovered reading this story.
#1. Americans are completely OK with treating people like animals. Americans 90% seem to support treating offenders of petty or nonviolent crimes as hardened fiendish criminals.
This women was apprehended AT HER DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL and paraded around in handcuffs AT SCHOOL. For pure humiliation of herself and her daughter. Then subject to a strip search..again for pure humiliation...and then thrown into a cage. As if she was a serial killer on the loose and needed to be captured immediately. WTF!
And Americans didn't blink an eye. In fact..they seemed to go out of their way to comment...Yay! You showed her! This is america...you break the law...you're doing down!
And this is not just about this lady....Anyone who's caught with a banned plant...anyone who commits a traffic violation...they could be subject to this same humiliating treatment. And Americans think it's completely OK.
Even though other parts of the world see this as sick and barbaric....and are called out on it....Americans came out in droves to say..."Bitch deserved it!!!!"
#2 The other scary thing....Americans don't believe in "innocent until proven guilty" They are OK with treating someone as an animal REGARDLESS of the facts...the mere
accusation of a crime is ENOUGH for the person to be humiliated, paraded around in shame, and thrown in a cage...
I feel so so sad. So lost to see such a surge of Americans shouting out to defend our humiliating practices. It's so sad.
