Almost 2,000 Prisoners Continue Hunger Strike In Cali!

Prison is not supposed to be equivalent to your stay at a five-star hotel but at least treat the inmates that occupy the space as human beings. Even animals are treated better than the inmates in more than a dozen California prisons which is why they’re participating in a hunger strike that has lasted more than a week, risking death in the process.

Justice and the Mentally Ill

It was heartbreaking to hear about this story involving a deceased 89-year-old lady and her 48-year-old twin sons. Adult Protective Services went to a home in Houston to check on Sybil Berndt, the mother, only to find her dead on the floor.

According to the reports, Ms. Berndt had been lying on the floor and decomposing for more than three months. Her twin sons told the authorities that she fell and that they just left her there. Reports share that she had been on the floor since January 13 of this year…(jeezus).

After the jump, the brothers explain why they left her there…

So now it is a crime for people to sell their own stuff?

However, they obviously did not take part in creating the rule, and it is obviously not set up to be in the best interest of the players. Collegiate athletics is big business and even bigger because the athletes, who are drawing the crowds who spend the money, are working for free. Remind you of anything?

Don’t get me wrong. I am not dismissing the actions of the five O.S.U. players who were suspended, because, again, they knew the rules. Also, they traded some of their memorabilia away for some damn tattoos. Now, while that is certainly a ridiculous course of events on their behalf, when, as American citizens, have we not had the right to be ridiculous? The President of the United States can make a ridiculous choice, and the nation will redefine the English language to justify his actions. However if a young man trades something that he has earned honestly, he will be forced to miss half a year of playing time, which would likely result in him losing millions of dollars because of his diminished status as an NFL prospect. Is that fair?
