What? You want JimZ to think before they write?

Well, that required a rocket scientist.

I totally forgot to bring my third hat yesterday.

Right. Whassa’s comment history totes justifies you being a prick, too.

Read it again. That’s not what Whassa said.

“knowing the people in charge of making decisions for the infirmed don’t have their best interests at heart and you are powerless to do anything. “

He must have loved her dearly. I would’ve walked from that bullshit.

Enough, I didn’t suggest that you have minimized the problem, nor that all prisoners are rapists.

A 17 year-old sentenced to 15 years isn’t in one of those high risk groups? Do try again.

You could’ve done just a bit more reading... this from a wiki on Prison Rape. Second google hit, even. There’s a variety of research that suggests your 5% is far too low.

What the ever loving fuck?

OTOH, if one’s first reaction to this situation is to begin imagining varied forms of slow torture for cro-magnon-cop, come sit by me. There are no excuses for mistreating kids.

Yeah, getting body slammed by cro-magnon man is really going to teach her something. The teacher, administrator and cop/school security all failed.

You are both beautiful bastards

At least I can muster some up.

Spoken like someone who’s never gotten tired of caring for an ill or aging loved one or dealing with a chronic illness. That kind of tired creates conditions where folk become less effective in their decision-making.

Wow. I’ve not thought about ARC in many years. It’s all just OI’s, HIV, and AIDS.

Well, that completely negates the need to be tactful in responding to a very personal and heartfelt comment. It was a statement of fact.

Those were the original four classes of folk most likely to contract HIV, I agree. However, the jokes (tasteless as they were) didn’t reflect that.

And repeating that AIDS isn’t what kills, but that it opens the door and rolls out that red carpet is bloody important.
