Donuel: See you in the streets! It would be my pleasure spending a couple days corraled with you ion the D.C. jails.Speaking of jails, you have hit upon an issue that I haven't seen discussed here and perhaps could use a thread of its own and that is the prison/industrial complex. Yes, look at the numbers and it is very much fueled by racism and fears. Well, they ought to be afraid, I'll give them that for when you mess with a dog lond enough it *will* bite. Yeah, the entire sysytem is designed for white folks and black folks who act white and say, "Yes, Master".
Now, just to take that issue a step further, all we have to do is look at Texas and we get a glimmer of the kind of thinking (or non thginking) that goes on in Junior's head. Texas is the "Execution" state. Most of those who are executed have had confessions beaten out of them and these confessions are used in a majoirity of cases as the main evidence of guilt. Now, couple that with an inept public defender who sleeps thru the trial, a rubber stamp appeals process and the notion of "benefit of doubt" goes out the window as folks, many of whom are innocent, are strapped to a gurney, injected with chemicals that first collapse their lungs and then stop their hearts.
Now, here we are listening to Junior make his closing arguments except in this case he doesn't even have the benefit of the cohersed confession. Hmmmmmmm? And this is what we're going to war over? Give me a break!
Like I said earlier, Donuel. See you in the streets.
