7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
The comments on these stories are always filled with "You should be safe in prison but fuck this guy because he did x"
You realize that's why things just keep getting worse right? Cause y'all will always come up with exceptions. Every. Single. Time.
It's black or white folks. Going to prison shouldn't be a death sentence and you shouldn't be attacked regularly. There are no gray areas here.
Same with war crimes against Russia. People here love to argue we should be as bad as the enemy because they did it first, but just this time* fr fr
I'm anti-russia and fully agree with this. I know the knee jerk reaction is to do unto others what they've done to you but that just continues the cycle.
With that said Slava Ukraini.
I’m so happy to see this take, it always rubbed me the wrong way when people were like “don’t worry, he will become someone’s bitch in the prison”. Like, wtf!??
On one hand, you should be safe in jail to serve your time. We aren't animals and treating criminals inhumanely or allowing as such is just perpetuating a cycle.
On the other hand? Fuck that guy.
True... Once we start talking about more ethical treatment of prisoners, it gets embarrassing fast when we have to confront the fact that not only is most or all US incarceration not intended for any personal or societal benefit or protection, but it is actively seeking to enslave the population for shareholder value.
An entirely new philosophy of how criminal offenders should be dealt with is needed, but I'm not even sure those cards are in this deck.
You left out America's seething thirst for revenge instead of justice and good Ole American racism. Prison is just a house to keep the undesirables. If you're there you deserve everything that happens to you. There are no innocent or even people in prison. Those are things that are kept away to keep society (white ppl) safe.
For instance, the great state of Kentucky passed the 'Safer Kentucky Act' which allows police to arrest homeless individuals. So the process is: Homeless > Jail > Homeless > jail > Homeless > jail. Until the fourth time where it becomes a felony.
Geez that's bleak
And the only prisons where rich white people regularly end up are Minimum security federal prisons, where the large scale financial fraud people go. Is a completely different environment which is more like a college campus or country club.
No cells, rooms, and there’s no fences or anything. It doesn’t look nor feel like a prison.
No other hand. He, and every other inmate, deserve and must be protected so they can serve their time safely.
Agree. If folks don't believe in safely and humanely handling prisoners they effectively permit prison rape as a common and acceptable thing.
I don't think that's alright.
This dude is a criminal and I hope serves time due to his actions. He shouldn't be raped or assaulted while there. He should be incarcerated.
One source told CNN the AR-15-style rifle was purchased at a local gun store as a Christmas present. The timeline the teen’s father provided to authorities would put the gun purchase months after authorities first contacted Gray and his family to investigate school shooting threats made online. https://archive.li/cC1FT
Yeah, fuck that guy.
"your son wants to shoot a lot of kids".
Ok here's an auto rifle, son!
What the fuck.
Even if the purchase was made before first contact, the gun was given to the kid after first contact, that's all that matters.
Christmas isn’t too far away. May be he can gift an AR-15 those who threaten him.
Oh, threats of violence you say? We should definitely look into that, maybe go talk to a few inmates with some softball questions, dismiss their batshit crazy answers, and never follow up.
Hello, Officer!
Maybe even buy guns as Christmas presents for the inmates making the threats!
I suspect if you took the total number of inmates I then subtracted those who have not threatened him n then :
Total death threats = i - n
This is assuming that each inmate who threatened to kill him did so only once.
Came here to make a similar comment. Like… I’m pretty sure you could calculate it or estimate the number of threats.
"judge a society by its prisons." fyodor dostoyevsky.
I believe him. I'm sure there are people in there who consider his actions reprehensible. He got children murdered through his recklessness.
The implication that we can't just count the threats and they must be calculated lmao
What, we have to pay for extra security because this guy is bad at math?
