I downvoted it because there's no point in reading bad news that you can do nothing about. An article like this leaves you feeling like shit about the state of society, feeling powerless to do anything about it, all while communicating no useful information. In a month, even in a week, will you remember any details from this article? Would you remember how many illegal immigrants were released? What cities they were in? How many were released in each city? What crimes each committed in their respective cities? I doubt it, because none of that information has relevance to your daily life. But this article *does* have the ability to make you feel pissed off and powerless *today*. All the same, you have every right to post this article. But it's pretty retarded and vain of you to expect everyone to praise that you posted it. Also, you spy on other people's downvotes? That's pretty fucked up bro.
