I’m sure pretty much all of them are innocent
I’m sure that by random chance a few of them may be gang members, but that’s what happens if you pick up a random group of people. Most will be perfectly fine and nice people, a few will be bad.
That does leave the thousands others that are innocent and are now being put in terrorist jail cells. Well, cells designed for terrorists anyway, a good amount of the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay were innocent too yet spent decades there
What a fucking shit show is the US

I don't think neons referred to him, but to Americans.
As in "look at the fascist fucking mess we have made for ourselves, and it has barely even started. We asked for this and now it's happening, it's all our falult and it's all fucked".
