    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 removed 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.

      No other hand. He, and every other inmate, deserve and must be protected so they can serve their time safely.

      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.

    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.

    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

    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
