Second.

That blue screen of death post which recently said that Windows users live in fear of losing everything was a perfect example. As is this bullshit shower thought.

Blogger is no longer supported and is suffering greatly people are leaving it in droves. You might as well call it dead

No you did, and you’re the one getting upset.

You should be. You’re supporting slavery.

He’s in prison. My comment was about prison. Media literacy matters.

Cool so should the default solution for every fucking problem be the same solution we apply to a guy that cracked someone’s skull open with a hammer?

I’m not saying this guy doesn’t deserve to be punished. I’m saying prison shouldn’t be the default solution for everything. People like you who defend the prison industrial complex are the reason it still exists. You are using your emotional reaction to one incident to justify a human rights crisis in your fucking backyard and it’s lazy and pathetic. Be a better person.

I’m not saying separation dangerous people from society is a bad one.

I’m saying prison shouldn’t be the default solution for every offense.

The USA has the highest number and percentage of incarcerated people anywhere in the world because everyone’s kneejerk response is, “but we need it for dangerous murderers!” instead of “it’s a human rights crisis that we’re allowing to happen in our backyards and we’re choosing to allow it to happen instead of doing the hard work of brainstorming and building an effective alternative”.

Got it, thank you for clarifying.

It wasn’t deliberate. I said, “the default setting should not be prison” and you replied “Yes, that is what the default should be.” so I read it as contrary. So I appreciate your response

Default setting should be prison? For marijuana possession?

For fucking getting an abortion???

Prison should not be the default setting for anything my dude.

correct but we use the “attempted murder solution” on everything, which is the problem.

stop saying “prison should exist because of this one case”

there will always be extreme cases that need to be handled differently from the default setting. but the default setting should not be prison, it should be rehabilitation.

didn’t want to get side tracked by this one case

but getting hit with a bus was the ideas result for this guy lol

I don’t need to offer an alternative.

It is enough to say “the current system doesn’t work for me and I want change.”

True but not the cause of this massive change in real estate values.

What is it?

Prison is our fucking answer to everything. No house? Prison. Said something bad? Prison. Had a bad month and hit somebody? Prison. Prison. Prison.

We lean on it as a convenient one-stop solution when we could instead do work to rehabilitate people, fix the problem, or prevent the problem from happening. The reason our prisons are overflowing is because no one is stepping up and saying, “maybe prison shouldn’t be our answer to every single societal problem.”

It’s not too expensive.

The defense budget of the USA is 840 billion dollars. That’s not too expensive.

The reason it’s not being done is there’s no money to be made.

Profit first, survival of the species second.
