So Governor Brewer

How is that scare white people meme going now that your prison escapees are persons of interest in the murder of that white couple in New Mexico. Maybe you should secure those prisons and STFU.
EPIC FAIL.

11. Apparently, "headless bodies" are more important to her than a nice older couple

form New Mexico who are now dead.

Haven't heard a WORD from her afaik.

5. I heard this morning the break out was due to "human error"

I wonder if the private company running the prison has an immunity agreement with the state. Will they be financially responsible for their own lethal mistake, or will their profits remain secure while the people of Arizona foot the bill for the company's negligence?

6. Why are murderers in private prisons?

How do we know when the owners of these prisons use their own private assassins to kill people they dislike and then declare that they never left the prisons.

There is a reason why the state is supposed to run the prisons. America has gone bat shit crazy.

7. Here's the statement from her likely Democratic opponent, Terry Goddard,

who is our Attorney General--he has the same question you have:

10. Good idea! Goddard is a very tough AG and was a GREAT Phoenix mayor, btw.

He's not into playing politics--he gets his job done.

12. The statement makes several very good points

I am sure that Gov. Brewer will take immediate action. Namely, bitching about how Goddard is "politicizing" this tragedy for his own purposes, and can't we think of the poor folks who were murdered? Let's see, now is not the time to play the blame game. Uh, pointing fingers doesn't catch the bad guys. Er, Goddard's a socialist who wants to bus illegal immigrants into your neighborhood to take your job while not honoring the troops and forgetting 9/11. *Sproing!* Time to reset Republican talking points.

9. They were in a MEDIUM SECURITY private prison, and our Governor is

damn near ignoring the issue.

She is a dismal failure--always, alwasy passing the buck or ignoring "unpleasantness."

13. Breaking on GEM$NBC - one caught in Wyoming

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38624676/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/
<snip>
One of two convicted killers who escaped from an Arizona prison has been captured in Wyoming, law enforcement officials told NBC News.

The arrest was made in the small Wyoming town of Meeteetse, about 80 miles east of Yellowsone National Park, according to NBC's Pete Williams. The Billings Gazette said the fugitive who was caught was Tracy Province.

The U.S. Marshals Office and Arizona authorities planned an announcement about the case later Monday.

14. So maybe SB1070 isn't so bad after all.

Maybe this was the plan after all:-

The people get arrested. The prison company gets paid money for them to reinvest in to the local community. The arrested brown people just walk out the back door as no one is paid to watch it anyway.

Yay for Gov Brewer.
