    omooex:

    Yes, I know its wrong. But its sad to me that it always seems to be these denials of civil liberties that get the most attention, while they daily grind based on skin color, ethnicity and income goes on unnoticed and unreported. I'm not saying not to report this, Glenn Greenwald. Thanks, you're doing your job. But I'm tired. I'm jaded. Hate me.

    How do you know the economic status of the people who were detained and arrested? I saw how many of them lived -- did you? Also, were they all white?

    I always find it amazing people are able to divine these facts. How did you learn them?
