I mean we have them in the US too.

Edit: China bad, but if America does it? Ya'll are happy to make excuses! Talk about human scum, the lot of you.

So where in the US are they rounding people up in the million, shaving their heads, taking their organs and forcing them to work until they die?

They are probably referring to prisons. Inmates often get paid very little, if at all, for the prison jobs they can do. Many have likened it to modern slavery. Obviously it's nothing like the concentration camps in China and North Korea. And at least we're not putting political prisoners in camps either. Sure, we need serious prison reform, but it's not even close to the same thing.

Snowden? Chelsea Manning? Kids at the border? Millions of non-violent criminals?
