Reply #10: All you have to do is use the word "prison" ... [View All]

... and there are fifty or more DUers who immediately post and crack "wise" about prison rape.

Then there's the persistent lynch mob mentality, especially over "pedophiles", most of whom have not even been charged, let alone convicted. The number of pedo frenzy articles in the newspaper is about ten times the number of actual pedophiles; on DU, it's more like 30-to-1. The Michael Jackson case brought them all out of the woodwork, too.

Sorry about the problems you faced, micrometer_50. There's a whole lot of angry people around here who don't care who they hurt, as long as they get to have their daily temper tantrum or tell a few smutty jokes about prison rape.

I don't know what your son did to be imprisoned, but if indeed he took a bad course in life, I hope he straightens himself out; and in any event, I hope he bears prison well. And if he's innocent, even more so -- punished innocence seems to be more common in this world than unpunished guilt.

Be well. I'll see you 'round, in another name.
