No Sanctuary on the Roof.

You read this and think:  God help us all.

Roofing in 80 degree temps is hard enough work, even for an American worker, who is hopefully going home to a family, a home, a beer or two, a meal, a shower, a bed and air conditioning, or at least a fan at night and open windows circulating the summer air...

I wonder where these men rested...
I wonder how long American voters will tolerate the wealthy elite telling the rest of us that it's okay, this race to the bottom that leads to treating workers as cheaply as possible, and looking away when they snap...

The local District Attorney's office will have to deal with this one now:  no catch-and-release minor crime here.   If they call in I.C.E., I wonder if deportation is immediate (assuming they are here illegally) or if the county now has to expend the resources for a lawyer, a trial and indefinite incarceration.

This is what open borders and unregulated labor looks like, folks.
Think of that the next time you cast your ballot as an American citizen:  what price we are paying for cheap labor and goods, in terms of sacrificing our common humanity and fellowship toward other human beings.  One of whom got chopped up pretty good and died yesterday on a Wisconsin roof on an otherwise unremarkable summer day...

Man jailed in Pierce County on suspicion of homicide

A roofer fatally attacked a coworker at a River Falls-area job site with a saw, authorities said Tuesday.
The Pierce County Sheriff's Office said a 37-year-old man died at the scene and a 24-year-old suspect was arrested on suspicion of first-degree intentional homicide. The deceased was identified as St. Louis, Mo., resident Israel Valles-Flores.
Sheriff's deputies were called at 4:31 p.m. Aug. 6 to W10087 County Road FF home in the town of River Falls for a report of an injured roofer. Valles-Flores was found unconscious on the roof of the home with "severe lacerations to the neck and face," the sheriff's office said.
Deputies unsuccessfully attempted life-saving measures.
The investigation revealed fellow St. Louis resident Maguel A. Nabarro caused Valles-Flores' injuries with a circular saw.
The property was sealed off with police tape on Tuesday morning.
Pierce County District Attorney Sean Froelich said Tuesday he had yet to receive reports on the case.
River Falls police, firefighters, EMS and medical examiner assisted deputies at the scene, along with the Wisconsin State Patrol.

ADDED:  Here's a similar gory situation, confronted by Rochester, Minn. first responders last week:

July 31, 2018 07:22 PM
Rochester police say a man used his hands to gouge out the eyes of a 74-year-old man, according to KAAL-TV in Rochester, a Hubbard-owned station.
KAAL reported that police received reports of suspicious noises at an apartment complex on the 300 block of 31st Street Northeast at about 2 p.m. Friday afternoon.
Rochester Police Department Interim Chief John Sherwin said police found 18-year-old Mahad Aziz on top of a 74-year-old man. Sherwin said both the victim's eyes were missing, as well as several teeth.
Sherwin told KAAL officers were unable to locate the man's eyes.
The victim told police that Aziz did not use a weapon against him, only his hands.
Aziz was also sent to the hospital for an evaluation before being arrested. KAAL reported Aziz is facing a first-degree assault charge.
