Republican proposes new ICE detention center surrounded by alligators

People escaped one by breaking through sheetrock walls.

Isn't this fixable by using bricks instead of alligators?

Alligator pits are probably the most cartoonishly evil villain trope. Like what else? Make the guards slowly swivel around in decadent office chairs while stroking a cat? They're pulling our leg at this point.

Also you can reason with alligators (to a degree) so this wouldn't even be all that effective unless you replace them whenever they get too used to humans.

A moat full of bricks would just be a road which might make it easier to escape

Florida Republicans need to stop drinking swamp water.

Its by design. If they have an unruly person they want to just get rid of every once in a while, kill them behind closed doors and dump the body in the swamp during a faux escape attempt. Then during the media circuit that surrounds the death you just claim the prisoner was killed by alligators in the surrounding swamp after an attempted escape.

Yea I'm aware. Just flabbergasted by the Hanna-Barbera cartoon villain shit.

What is this Dick Dastardly-ass shit?

Those detention centers might get useful once you are done and over with Trump. Somewhere you've got to put those Republican traitors.
