The left is howling that the new detention center known as ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ inflicts Cruel and Unusual Punishment on the detainees… and Bill Whittle, who lived in South Florida for twenty years, agrees with them; it’s the same cruel and unusual punishment inflicted on all of the 2.5 million residents of Dade County, Florida!

I expect a grand increase in self-deportation when Trump’s bill correcting eligibility for Social Security, Medicare, housing, subsidized everything begins to kick in.
I just love the idea of Alligator Alcatraz. Every time I hear the phrase I think of the Thunderbirds episode Attack of the Alligators. 🙂
Bill said “this situation is out of hand“, so along that tack …
I lived in Lake Charles Louisiana for 5 years. Its near at least one swamp and about 5 miles from the gulf. I like to say we had two types of mosquitoes. Now people normally say, when I say that, the following: “Big and bigger” Nope. Small enough to go through a screen door, and big enough to open one.😵 Not kidding much. The little ones are very small. If you see a small grey to almost black cloud of what seems to be very small particles, changing shape and moving; it’s mosquitoes. And they are voracious. Although I was… Read more »
I can relate to Cincinnati (& south FL) oppressive heat & humidity. Florida was worse, as it also included a plethora of bugs like Palmetto bugs (LARGE flying cockroachs) & skeeters, alligators & crockidiles, bores (w/big tusks), pythons, bull sharks (brackish swamp water), and many other ‘pre-historic-like’ creatures. p.s. My solution to sheeters was easy: consume mass amounts of garlic, as it seeps through pores, bugs won’t even come close (nor will girls, unless they too ooze of garlic). 🙂
I was recently visiting Thunder Valley Raceway Park in Noble OK for a drag race event. Not sure who’s idea it was to build a drag strip in a swamp, but that’s apparently what they did. It had rained the night before and there was water everywhere. Not sure how the local bugs compare to Louisiana, but I’m pretty sure I heard Ride of the Valkyries playing while the mosquitoes flew in formation to come get me. I’m apparently a delicacy as far as mosquitoes are concerned. People bring me along as bait when they don’t want to be eaten.
My condolences about the mosquitoes.
As to why the drag strip was in a swamp:
1 The land was flat.
2 The land was cheap. Gee, I wonder why?😏
Everyone said it was daft to build a drag strip in a swamp… I built it just the same!
…
It sank into the swamp…. I built a second one, it sank into the swamp.
I built a third one! That one burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the FORTH one stayed up!
But it had huge tracts of land!
And if you see mosquitoes coming…
RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!
And be wary of killer rabbits. I mean, look the bones!
I’ve been saying it for many years. Find a small island in shark infested waters. Dump the worst criminals there. An occasional air drop of necessities, food, TP, etc. will do. Let them fight over it. A couple of patrol boats…one toe in the water and you’ll be gone.
Cruel and unusual…? If the perp is so what.
Just my contribution to the cause… I’ve sent it to Governor DeSantis for Florida’s advertising enticing the transient tourists…
Loved the Babylon Bee’s “Other states prison ideas”. Indiana’s “Farmer Macgillicutty’s Neverending Corn Maze”.
The biggest mosquitos I’ve ever encountered, and I’m from the Deep South, was on the shores of one of the bazillion lakes of Minnesota. I asked a ranger how people could visit there. He told me I was “on the wrong side” of that particular one, apparently made worse by a nearby bog.
See, bogs need to be chopped up and used as fuel to smoke barley. Sounds like a business opportunity in MN, if they didn’t have bad intentions for business people.
I think they missed a big opportunity there by not listing large cave systems. Mammoth Caves in Kentucky is 426 miles of tunnels and caverns!! No need to even block off the public access. Find a long gallery, wall it off, add minimal lighting and start dumping prisoners in. They can explore, get lost, wander about for decades without finding a way out.
The Brits had Australia, so it seems only fair that we get Alligator Alcatraz.
Just for the fun of discussion: consider the people who are here illegally based on the country of origin. Those from hot climates could be placed in Alaska or the mountains of the Rockies where temperatures reach -30F or worse. These places would be “empty” during the summer months. Similarly, those from more temperate climes could be sent to Florida during late spring and early fall, and others to the deserts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Heating and air conditioning can be set to 55 degrees in the mountains and 83 degrees in the other locations, to deflect the… Read more »
