The tenth circle

America should be ashamed

Thirty-six year old Arizona geographer Scott Warren was arrested eighteen months ago and accused of charges by the U.S. government that could net him twenty years in prison for...giving food and water to immigrants crossing the Sonora desert.  He was charged with felony harboring and one count of conspiracy.

His trial ended with a hung jury this week, with eight jurors voting to acquit and four (keep in mind this is 33% or roughly Trump's deplorable base of support) voting Warren guilty of...giving food and water to people that were hungry and thirsty.  My guess is each of the four who voted him guilty would consider themselves good Christians.  As if.

Warren can still be retried.

It's really hard these days to have a lot of hope for America's future with people such as the four who voted guilty having such an out-sized influence on our body politic, and having their prized idiot, Donald Trump, leading our country.

Still, it's one more reason to campaign like hell against republicans, and another to hope that if there is a hell, there's a special place for such cruel assholes as these to suffer for eternity.

Fuck Donald Trump,
