I wouldn't be surprised if the President's response is to turn over Gitmo. BTW, look how that fag is sitting with his legs crossed like a girl.

Fidel Castro’s greatest atrocities and crimes – Part 5
Fidel Castro’s Cuban forced labor camps, the UMAPs
During the mid 1960s Fidel Castro’s regime in Cuba created a system of labor camps euphemistically called “Military Units in Aid of Production,” known better the Spanish acronym UMAP. By this time considerable opposition to the Cuban Revolution had developed and Castro, in order to maintain the stability of his rule, needed a mechanism whereby he could neutralize undesirables.
Internment in a UMAP could be precipitated by any of the following actions: refusing to engage in “volunteer” work on behalf of the Revolution, being homosexual, being a Jehovah’s Witness, being a Seventh Day Adventist, refusing collectivization. Additionally, among those also rounded up and sent to the UMAPs were members of the Catholic and Protestant clergy.
The Interamerican Commission for Human Rights of the Organization of American States (OAS) estimated in a report on Cuba that at one point there were 30,000 Cuban citizens interned in the UMAP system.
A 1966 article in Granma, the official newspaper of Cuba’s Communist Party characterized the genesis of the UMAPs in this way.
Still left to consider was the case of misplaced elements, deadbeats, those who neither studied nor worked. What can be done with these people? This question was the worrying concern for the leaders of the Revolution. One day in November of last year, 1965, a group of military officials met to discuss these questions. They spoke with Fidel, who shared these concerns and proposed to him the creation of the UMAP.
In addition to forced labor, internees were forced to undergo ideological “re-education.” Beatings, malnourishment and death were common in the UMAPs.
A 1984 Award-winning French documentary about the UMAPs and the persecution of gays in Cuba in twelve parts is below (English Narration and Subtitles).
I wonder what these douchebags are doing to prevent more attacks. Thus far, it's all been glib, snarky comments. Kinda like in this forum. Originally Posted by Yssup RiderI guess they must be following your heroic example...
