Hi there. We saw some drama going down at the 7-Eleven at Remington and 28th last night. Any news on that? Thanks for the good work on this blog!
Not sure if Club Choices is still open, but there's one of those police dept light setups across the street from it which shines sooper dooper bright lights on the building and entryway.
I'm normally a big fan of Atul Gawande's writing, but his article about solitary confinement got on my nerves. He mentioned California's Pelican Bay prison as an example of how horrible permanent isolation is, but does he have any concept of dangerous the criminals who're incarcerated in Pelican Bay are? These are guys who're able to order murders while locked up in solitary for years. What shall we do, let them mingle with other inmates so they can cause even more havoc. There is of course a simple solution to this problem, which is killing off a significant portion of our country's prison population, but our society lacks the balls to do that so instead we have no alternative to warehousing these animals.
Maybe it's a good thing that solitary confinement sucks so much. One thing that I feel very strongly about is that victims of crimes and their loved ones have a right to retribution. It's not enough to protect society from a criminal, he should also me made to suffer for his crime, especially if it was a crime of violence against another person. If incarceration isn't unpleasant then that's a betrayal of the people who've been victimized by criminal scum. I know we're supposed to look down on the desire for vengeance and act like forgiveness is some sort of wonderful virtue, but I think it's time for us to start rejecting that way of thinking.
Looks like nobody in Annapolis gives a shit about due process. Wish I could say that's a surprise. We don't need no steeenkin constitutional rights!
What a stupid law...and they add insult to injury, making sure victims still can't defend themselves.
Great. Florida looking better all the time.
