re: #121 darthstar

Thanks for pissing in my porridge. It was simply a little fantasy - they’re attacking a mythical beast of their own making for just those reasons I outlined…none of that could ever really happen in an actual country on this planet…silly…especially some place like the USA…you don’t see us just arresting people and freezing their assets and holding them without charge for years at a time. Do you? Bueller?

Fantasies have a way of coming true. In France, a mucker who attacked a city council, killing several, was arrested. He fell to his death while being transported from one facility to another. The official version was that he broke free from several guards, climbed to the ledge of a window several feet up, broke out the glass and leaped.

The French don’t have a death penalty, except when they do.

In Wisconsin, Jeffrey Dahmer got in a fight with another convict, an extremely muscular, insanely belligerent brute. They guy killed him. The two had been detailed to work together, unsupervised, in a smelly closed space, well out of earshot of guards. Wisconsin doesn’t have a death penalty, except when it does.

Prisoners get beaten by guards. They get raped by other prisoners. Not all of this is accident—-some of it happens with a wink and a nod. I’m a prude about this, I guess. Winking and nodding is where it all begins, and to me it’s not all that funny.
