In reply to the discussion: Manning’s Biggest Revelation of All [View all]NM_Birder
(1,591 posts)102. Take a deep breath..........
I think a prisoner GUILTY of the crimes he committed, would be nothing but a HUGE problem concerning the behavior of other inmates in a general population setting. The crimes he is GUILTY of, could and in my opinion WOULD cause other inmates to become more agitated and put everybody in a more dangerous situation. Throwing a 150lb defenseless meat sack, convicted of stealing classified military materials and then releasing them, into the jaws of a military prison population would be unjustly cruel,... don't you think ?
I think the nightmare, the horror..... and the trauma of being isolated for 35 years is a fitting punishment, he is not going to prison for rehabilitation, he's going for punishment. I would feel pity if he were thrown to the wolves. A "shiv" ....really ? I think you watch too much "lockdown".
"Chicken shit rat bastard"...I assume you are talking about me ? I hope you have a nice day, I hope you learn to control your anger because only on the internet can you get away with that level of foolishness. If you were hoping for some sort of graphic description or bloodthirsty rant I would say you might need too talk to somebody because there might be some issues you haven't dealt with.
it's pretty clear you don't know me, or even come close to understanding me. Don't be so eager next time.
I'm on here and there, but I'll check to see if you respond, and I will too.
Take Care, I mean that.

fantasy ? Don't flatter yourself, none of my fantasies include you, and certainly not prison.

Wishing "Manning a very long and tormented prison life" speaks volumes about your views on this.

Everything I said is true, I see you agree with me, but I don't think you mean it ;)

In 35 years she could be the President of the US. Did you ever hear of Nelson Mandela?

I would not wish "a long and tormented prison existence" on anyone. What a horrible wish.

Dennis Kucinich would have been viewed by many, as he so often was, as only a kook.

Yes. And discouraged. I worked very hard to get Obama elected and re-elected.

I think your main point is this was Bush's fault, not Obama's. Is that right?
