Is he a left wing martyr(murderer)?
You know he has been in prison for 44 years and is unwell. What happens to him when/if he gets released? Does he have family? Does he have q home to go? Will he have help and support to get the resources he needs for his health?
Or would he just get dumped somewhere and forgotten about?
He's just an American that has been in prison for about 50 years for a murder he probably didn't even commit. Say did you know America is boycotting the Olympics this year, because civil liberties?
44.
And what basis do you have for saying "probably didnt commit"? The evidence says he probably DID commit it. How often are you standing there while two police are shot dead with a weapon in your possession?
I'll agree that the sentence was ridiculous for the amount of evidence had.
But if this man gets released after 44 years and his health is bad what is going to become of him? Like I said does he have family willing to take him? It's not like he can retire. He spent 44 years in prison.
Imagine being in a place for 44 years and than having to leave with nothing. You are seeing this as "omg this guy is in prison and that sucks". But Admin.....this has been his life for 44 years. Unless there is some program where he can be slowly eased out and receive medical care and counseling and someone can make sure this man has food and shelter it would be insanely cruel to just pull him out of the "home" he has had for 44 years.
Fucking hell that's longer than I've been alive.
You know people become "institutionalized" and they will either reoffend to go back or commit suicide?
Like I said is this a guy who gets used for people to feel they are fighting some good fight only to dump him and forget about him if he does get out?
Arent a bunch of people catching covid at the Olympics? I've never been interested in the Olympics. Is boycotting bad now? Is this another bullet in the new establishment version of "democracy" where anyone who goes against the preferred line of thinking gets smeared, silenced, labeled terrorists, et?
