No, he DOES deserves this for providing aid and comfort to a person so terrible they support Trump. Leopards, faces, and wow looks like this is posted in the spot on right place.
can we settle on nobody deserves this, but given it’s happening he’s among the most deserving?
I can live with that.
No he doesn't because NO ONE deserves to be deported by ICE. We can quibble later about what constitutes justice for people who enable Trump supporters, and I'm not going to police your feelings about him or people like him...I know what community I'm posting in...but supporting his deportation is not productive for the people Mr. Karimi and his wife hurt with their rhetoric and complicity! Because then, all the government and media have to do to manufacture your consent for the deportations is smear the deportees' characters.
If you think he deserves social ostracisation or some other consequence then sure, fine, but deportation by the American Gestapo? Even if you think he deserves the worst, we don't deserve the consequences of yet another ICE deportation of one of our neighbors.
Everything the State does is imposed on us by the capitalist class. So even if you would support his neighbors running him out of town...this is completely different! This is an imposition on the community that he's no longer allowed to be a part of it. And while today it happened to a Trump supporter, it happens just as often to upstanding or even beloved people in the community. We shouldn't be tolerant of any interference of the capitalist class in our affairs, even when it hurts someone I personally don't like.
Mr. Karimi is a xenophobic ass hat who I'm certain would never fight for one of us, but he's still one of our neighbors.
