Saw blades? What the fuck?

I mean, is it really much different than razor wire at the top of a wall/fence?

I saw the fence wire and don’t get me wrong - that is fucked up in its own right, but from the image, it looks like that’s partially on land, so drowning shouldn’t be as much of a concern as if you’re in the middle of the river and can’t grab onto one of the buoys because of saw blades.

Please, don’t get me wrong - it’s fucked up. It’s all so very fucked up. But if the current is fast and someone needs to hold on to a buoy to avoid drowning but can’t because of a saw blade, that’s just…..a whole other level of fucked up.

And as a woman who lives in Texas, fuck Greg Abbott and the assholes who enable this and him and their “owning the libs” attitude and mentality that drives them to continue their continuous patterns of behavior that do nothing but hurt actual people who are very vulnerable.

Yes, because the current carries you into the blades and, you can't see them, and once you get stuck on them, you're drowning

Pffft, details! /s

I mean, I guess it is in that razor wire buoys would have the same problem.

Mexico should just destroy them. It’s their river too.

If they made sure to quietly talk to Biden or whatever executive branch person is relevant first, that might actually be a decent strategy. What's Abbot going to do about it?

should take Texas back while they're at it
