How was he supposed to know that ALL THE IMMIGRANTS would include him?!
I really need to stop just setting it down when I’m done, cause I’m tired of looking for it. Hang on…
All right. Here’s my tiniest violin…
i haven’t been to Mexico since i was four. i don’t speak Spanish. this would wreck my life!
awww, yeah? so now that you’re being directly impacted by Trump’s policies they’ve gone too far? could this have been avoided by not supporting a fascist perhaps? hmm…
He may not be the dumbest fucking idiot on the planet. However he ought to pray very hard that person doesn’t die.
The SS went after the original Hitler loyalists first
I do not understand the cult of personality around Donald Trump he’s the least appealing looking human who has ever existed, surely they could have found a more attractive cult leader. Most cults do.
Also how do you manage to get into politics and simultaneously be completely politically inept? You just get a free pass in the US if you just turn up?
It’s difficult to understand how a permanent resident would think he’s a citizen and therefore eligible to vote.
I’m also questioning why the state of Kansas didn’t verify his voter registration in any way.
“This is unfair,” says man who suddenly experiences actual fairness for the first time.
Hahahahahaha. This is just the best. Newsflash “Leopard dies from overeating”
“I haven’t seen Mexico since I was four,” Ceballos said. “I don’t speak Spanish anymore. If I get deported, it would wreck my life.”
Oh no!.. hahahahahahahaha get fucked your racist piece of shit
I’m all for leopards eating faces. But, I encourage you to read the article this blog was ripped from instead of just the headline. https://www.kansas.com/news/state/article313143711.htm
He is the mayor of a town of 600, because he does things like put up the town’s Christmas lights. He doesn’t care about politics. Not exactly someone trying to build power within the Republican Party.
He got registered to vote because he raised his hand on a group trip to the court house. Imagine being the only person in the group to not raise your hand. The county clerk didn’t bother checking his status of permanent resident.
Even his friends basically say he is a ‘simple man’. I have a hard time holding resentment against someone who only votes because his friends do and who pays no attention to politics. According to his friends, he doesn’t even know the most basic differences between the political parties. It almost reads like he is on spectrum.
Let leopards eat faces. But maybe we can save the ridiculing for those who didn’t get eaten because the system failed them.
Ceballos also acknowledged that he “probably” voted for Kobach and former president Donald Trump several times because he automatically selects the candidates with an “R” beside their names.
Like many voters in rural Comanche County on the Oklahoma border, Ceballos said he “always voted for all the Republicans.”

Stupid or Evil don’t make no difference to me, he’s getting what’s coming to him.
“I feel for Joe and the community, and I hope it can get worked out in the legal system,” Hoffman said.
How about the other thousands of people who had a right to Due Process but have been kidnapped or murdered by ICE? This guy is special? GTFO.
My goal was achieved then, you at least read the article before commenting.
Many people weren’t.

Fair perspective.

Serious question here. Do you think that someone’s voting history should determine how the law is applied? It sounds like your saying that because bad things happened to good people in the past (days, weeks, months, and currently happening) that we should not give Due Process to this person because of their voting history. When I read the article I didn’t get the sense that he was asking to get special treatment because he voted a certain way. I read it as a person scared and hurt, the exact same tone I have unfortunately read hundreds of times this past year.
Edit: formatting
No. Ignorance is no longer an acceptable excuse. Just because ypu dont care about politics doesnt mean politics doesnt care about you.
Look, I get it, I really do. It is nice to vent and see leopards eat the faces. “Ignorance is no longer an acceptable excuse.” I agree. But for me, that perspective only applies when I’m talking to someone directly either in person or online. But I also don’t get schadenfreude when it is pretty clear a total stranger in an article had no idea what was going on, and is trapped by a system that failed them decades ago.
People who licked store shelves in April 2020 to “own the libs” now that is schadenfreude.
My original post wasn’t to excuse his ignorance either. I wanted to raise awareness of the nuance of the guy’s situation. Several comments at the time clearly showed that it wasn’t read. We have a real problem with people commenting on headlines and not taking the time to read.
Lastly, in my opinion, this is pretty shitty leopardsatemyface content. If I went to another country and broke a law out of ignorance, it is one thing to be punished for it, it is another thing to be mocked.
