      I can't even make a "in evil wicked satanic communist china" joke about this because it's so comically evil it's borderline absurd in it's own right.

      They literally tortured this man to death for a year over $100 dollars.

    "I have personally reviewed the entire Arkansas State Police investigative file, which includes interviews with the Detention Center staff, Arkansas State Police reports, and the autopsy report, before making this decision," wrote Sebastian County Prosecuting Attorney Daniel Shue, who also reviewed video footage from the jail. "It is the opinion of this office that no criminal charges can be filed against any person with regard to this death."

    Imagine spending your one and only life on this earth defending torturers

      Just towing the line of this wholly criminal gangster police state wherein the law is untouchable and never held accountable.

    What the fuuuuuck.

    It's clear that they weren't actually checking on him and lying about the cell checks, but were they not providing food, either?? Or did his psychosis get to a point where he did not trust the food he was being given? I don't see any evidence of food, past or present, in his cell. What the fuck.

    Abolish all police and jails, but also super turbo abolish bail. It’s such a cruel and archaic system. Regular people already have pretty limited mobility capacities; having to pay money to not be in jail is just the most draconian and dystopian understanding of “ justice”. It's not like a regular person can just hop on horseback and skip town. It's such a stupid and barbaric piece of infrastructure.

      umm sweetie where will we stick the stupid filthy poors and homeless without prisons? One time a poor came up to me asking for money for food and I almost died. I don't like seeing tents on the sidewalk while I'm eating brunch :neera:

    This is a photo of the inside of the door to Larry Eugene Price, Jr.'s solitary confinement cell. In addition to the human waste inside the cell, the door is marked with graffiti, including a swastika etched into the cell door.

    THAT'S ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR! Also includes SS markings. Wonder if any of the jailers have tattoos like that.

    :agony-shivering:

    edit: if you use twitter, can you plz bully the writer into correcting this bit about the door? Folks in solitary don't normally get to decorate the outside of the cell door.

    Arrested, tortured, and murdered for making finger guns. "Terroristic threatening in the first degree."
