A person like Sutherland, when incarcerated and menaced, is terrified in a way that most of us won’t experience in a lifetime, if we aren’t actively tortured. They put acute paranoids in progressively more claustrophobic, terrifying, spaces, the more they suffer and act out of their suffering.

When AOC made the reference to being a former bartender who is familiar with throwing people like Greene out of bars I kind of laughed because the bars I went to in NYC if you acting like her you wouldn’t just get bounced, you’d get bounced very hard against the sidewalk. And then picked up and bounced again. 

I believe someone with money and connections put her up to it. Flattered her and convinced her that she’s the woman of the hour.

An extension of the people fighting their way into the Capitol Building screaming, “This is our house!!!”

She could without question demand a good price to appear in a film, just for the publicity.

Bullying?

She seems perfectly nice and I hope she’s feeling fine. I’m also glad that this wasn’t about someone who tried to sniff gorilla glue.

A strange bit of tangential information: In Saudi Arabia, the land of an eye for an eye, the family of a murdered person can appear in court on the first day of the trial and make a statement in which they forgive the murderer and the trial will cease that day, and the murderer will walk out free and clear.

Any word based on the root “patriot” is one which nobody should much use to describe themselves. It’s like running out into the streets thumping your chest and screaming, “I’m generous!” or, “Look at me, I’m selfless and altruistic!” “Hey, everyone I’m brave, brave, brave!”

If they found some twisted Silence of the Lambs style sadist who chained a stranger in the basement in conditions near to this, with constant threat of beatings and rape, food and water in a dog’s bowl, it would get some headlines. But if there’s a thousand in that pit of a basement, and on top of the violence and…

I offer here my advice for anyone who wants it, on how to quickly locate something you can’t find, let’s say your phone/wallet/remote/keys. Forget psychics or St. Anthony, the patron saint of lost objects.

He would have been within his rights to close the door and go back to bed, but sounds like they would have blown up the house, had he done that. 

Any time in the last couple of decades the Democratic party could have come up with a slogan that reflected the urgency of radically changing the criminal justice crisis, as though they themselves and their loved ones were being killed by cops or locked up for 20 years for drug possession.

The weirdest part of this whole thing is that these people have anyone to send a Christmas card.

These shy pilgrims are in hog heaven. Their every dream has come true. Now they can sue the whole universe until the end of their days. Bliss! Litigation! Ecstasy!

Good for him. (Although a crime drama about an up and coming young actor who is the victim of a racist, homophobic attack would be a good story line for him to option too). I don’t want to see him in jail. Far worse people have been resurrected.

I’m concerned with what Fox starts saying once things either starting messing up or counting continues beyond midnight. It could be anything, and it could be toxic beyond belief. They are going to try to steal this.

The attorney general also confirmed that he had not recommended any charges beyond “wanton endangerment” for Hankison, but said the grand jury could have returned any indictments it wanted (legal experts have noted that it is extremely unusual for grand juries to do so).

2.5 million people incarcerated right now, in dangerous, unrelentingly cruel, daily punishment, for long sentences, of years, decades, or lifetimes, because of archaic, antiquated, careless, heartless, cultural values of hate and revenge, that ruins the lives of not only those who break laws but their families and…

I once went to the Salk Institute in Bangkok. Its a nice, modernist design, enclosed by a sort of moat that you walk over on a wide concrete bridge, in order to enter. Beneath, in the open air, directly below, are a thousand cobras, which are kept because they use the venom in research. They just look like regular…
