There was a story here about prosecutors who KNEW a man to be innocent, because his DNA does not match his crime, but they insist on being "right". Still, he rots in jail. They are more than willing to condemn a man to a living hell based on DNA evidence. The next day, a story of how prisoners are coerced by being forced to wear "stun belts", where at an officer's whim, am incapacitating jolt of electricity is coursed through him. Our jails are full, our jobs are gone, our leadership is from the Dark World, there are no jobs, the people are hateful, stupid, and crazy. I often feel as if I am a great soft jelly-thing, leaving a trail on the bulkheads of a subterranean metallic hell as I shamble to and fro - I have no mouth and I must scream.
I want to declare myself stateless and get out of this suffocating nightmare place, but there is nowhere else to go.
Another bad night.
