Halloween in Chicago while under siege.

 Halloween is a big holiday in this here country of mine. And it is especially popular in my neighborhood in Chicago. People decorate their houses and the atmosphere is festive as kids and adults dress up in costume. Kids from all over the city come to the neighborhood that I live in. It is safe and lots of good candy getting passed out.

This year we took precautions to continue keeping the neighborhood as safe as possible. The ICE thugs were all around around us in the morning and our neighborhood set up a system with spotters relaying information and armed with whistles to alert everyone. I did my part. The ICE thugs stayed away from our neighborhood but we were just lucky. They were busy terrorizing other neighborhoods.

Back to the Gitmo playbook....again

 It was less than a month ago when I posed the question as to whether the criminals in my government would resort to bounties for capturing supposed drug dealers. Today I learned I was not far off. Seems the criminals are offering bounties for "illegal immigrants." I guess it doesn't matter if they are selling drugs, it only matters if they might be here in this country without the proper paper work.

At least they are not dropping leaflets yet- because with the economic hardship of so many people in this country that could work as well as it did in Afghanistan and Pakistan- and of course it would mean rounding up a lot of people that should never have been rounded up just so people could get the bounty. [This is not to suggest that people without the proper paperwork are legit targets.]
