$25,000 of Molotov's would free more than one person in detention.

$25,000 of Semtex would free more than one person in detention.

$25,000 of assault rifles and ammo would free more than one person.

just saying... if you have $25,000 laying around you might want to invest in something that's going to give you a better return on your initial investment.

The point of the article is that the families of immigrants tend not to have that kind of money

I'll also note that past attacks on detention facilities have failed to free people.

agreed.

those attacks didn't use $25,000 of armaments.

What about $25,000 of jars full of piss?

I guarantee if you smashed $25,000 of jars of piss, anyone would give up.
