In the last month Sheriff Joe Arpaio intensified his on-going escalation of attacks against Latinos by segregating the county jail and parading undocumented migrants shackled in a chain-gang into “tent city.” He erected and surrounded the tent with an electric fence in a grotesque display of human degradation.
Zach de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine responded to the news by saying, “To witness what is happening in Arizona and remain neutral is to be implicated in human rights violations that are occurring right here on US soil against migrants. History will not be kind to Joe Arpaio. He will be remembered with other infamous sheriffs like Bull Connor who subjugated and terrorized communities for shortsighted political gain. I hope everyone will join me in protesting Sheriff Joe.”
To take action NOW sign the petition asking for the Department of Justice to investigate Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Why would we listen to this fool about hate? This ingnoramus hates whites, America, western ideals, democracy, capitalism… everything that has brought freedom to a world filled with tyranny. He wants firing squads, the likes of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, to reign supreme in this world. Not on our watch, Zach!! This world doesn’t need your subjective morality…
