Carlos Vazquez, 16 died a horrendous death in CBP custody w/video. NBC reporter proclaimed

"leaving many unanswered questions about how this teenager died in custody" - there are no unanswered questions. The video shows it all. Carlos had the flu, was sleeping on the cement floor covered with a mylar blanket, was doubled over in pain, crawled over to the toilet where he collapsed and remained still - this all over a two day period. 16 years old!!! - No welfare check, no attention, nothing! - 16 years old boy murdered by our government! This appears to be a type of torture by neglect.

The segment also showed how his family is mourning in Guatemala. It also showed Carlos as strong, brave son to loving parents.

(locking up and caging children in concentration camps and ignoring their welfare) exactly what it is - A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.

This is what we have allowed this man to do to the US.

I want this issue to be front and center in the next election. SHAME conservatives for supporting this sub-human mongrel.

I am so sorry for this poor young boy. His death was so preventable. Nobody showed him any kindness or compassion in his last hours. It makes me so angry that this was allowed to happen. Our government should pay for this! They are murderers!

I cannot believe that this is happening in this country and that our government is responsible for it. It is so wrong and cruel. Those poor children did nothing to deserve this.
